AIA: Obama merits an "A" on Pentagon spending initiatives
President Barack Obama signed a $680 billion Pentagon spending bill Wednesday, marking a successful effort at spending restraint that some predicted would be impossible. "They probably get an 'A' from the standpoint of their success on their major initiatives," said Fred Downey, Vice President, National Security at AIA. "They probably got all of them but one or maybe two, and that's an extraordinarily high score."
