Defense.gov: Contracts for Monday, January 09, 2012
The date on the awarding of the contract also explains the “WHY IS OBAMA DOING THIS DURING A SEQUESTER!?!?” nonsense on twitter. He isn’t; this was done last year and is just part of normal government spending on the military.
The reason it became an issue now is that Jim Hoft spouted his nonsense about it this week, and nothing to do with anything Obama did recently.
