I guess you don't pay attention.

When he refers to "this mess" that he "doesn't want to hear about" from the "people that caused it", he's not talking about health care. He's talking about the economic crisis. In the long term, health care costs, defense costs, dog catcher costs, everything is part of the picture, you're right. But in the short term, the problem is a recession/depression causing massive unemployment, not excessive spending.

This isn't a matter of guns or butter. Obama is doing the Bush 43 guns and butter horsecrap, and he's got a lot of idiots convinced he's a genius for doing so.

We'll see what he'll do about defense. I'm rather hoping he tones down the "guns" in order to pay for the "butter". You have to admit it hasn't exactly been a time where he's had a free agenda to start going after defense spending. Health care and the economic crisis are more than enough to employ even Obama's considerable political capital.
