| Summary: | "I really misspoke," [Paul Ryan] said on CNN's "State of the Union." "I didn't mean to make that kind of an impression. So, I was clumsy in how I was describing the point I was trying to make." "What I was attempting to say is, President Obama put out his budget number for the Pentagon first, $500 billion cut, and then they began the strategy review to conform the budget to meet that number," Ryan said. "We think it should have been the other way around." "I think we have to take the generals' word as they give it to us," he said. "We're going to move in the direction of making sure that America still is No. 1 in the world in defense, and the defense sequester, which I suspect Congressman Ryan was referring to, is something that many of us are looking at as something that could put us in a position to no longer be No. 1." |
