The Heritage Foundation has a chart up on its blog, showing defense spending as a percentage of gross domestic product and declaring that "Obama plan cuts defense spending to pre-9/11 levels."

This is a standard rhetorical device for defense hawks (see the Wall Street Journal editorial page, Mitt Romney and lots of others) so it's worth pointing out that it's misleading. The unfortunate truth is that Obama is increasing non-war defense spending this year and seems likely to increase it at least by inflation in the near future.
