Former Defense secretary: Obama 'double-crossed' me
[The Hill] Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates says he felt President Obama "double-crossed" him during his tenure over budget cuts to the Pentagon.

In a Fox News report Friday that explored the president’s approach to the military, Gates said Obama had promised him that there wouldn’t be any "significant changes" in the defense budget for a while. When asked by Fox whether Obama kept to his word, Gates replied, "Well I think that began to fray. ‘Fray’ may be too gentle a word."

According to the report, Gates was told to cut hundreds of billions of dollars from the defense budget after already having slashed it.
