He's got the signed deal with Congress on the cuts from last year. Defense cuts are popular with Independents and Democrats even if a lot of them don't want them to be as deep as the Republican agreed upon deal forces.

The pukes want to go to the wall on this in an election year I think it could cost them the House. How I would love to see the Oompa Loompa and Cantor bawling about that come November.
