WASHINGTON -- In a strongly worded message to Congress outlining its priorities for a military spending bill, the Obama administration today said it disapproved of including money for pensions for 26 elderly members of the World War II-era Alaska Territorial Guard.
The Guardsmen are among those assigned to protect Alaska from the Japanese during World War II.

The list, ping
Of course Obama has no love for our Vets and especially no love for any vets from Alaska
Bump
Follows along administration “Obamacare” to kill the elderly.
Obama is scum - must be brought down - and soon .
The sooner the better. I don’t know if we can make it to 2012 the way he is going
Three strikes against them: vets, from Alaska, elderly.
To paraphrase Kanye West: “0bama hates old people!”
You nailed it!!!
But we can give money to Qaddafi’s daughters charities among other wasted garbage organizations Barry and Congress have given taxpayer money away to........ =.=
Can’t happen soon enough.
As much as I hate to say it I think we need the military to remove this a**clown physically from our house and the office.
They did a great job removing that nutcase in Honduras, a move Zero opposed, I think it’s time for the same here. Before he turns this country into a banana republic.
a “strongly worded message” - to prohibit support for 26 WWII vets. This is scummy and shameful.
A sweep in the congress in 2010 can make him a lame duck after only two years and set the stage for his removal.
Two problems;
1. Regardless of how bad congress' ratings are people will vote the same scum back in and...
2. Where will we find a presidential candidate with the courage to reverse Omaba legislation accomplished during his short reign of terror?
As$hole. He can give Billions to his Islamic brothers, but not a cent for those that were willing to protect us from our enemies.
“An estimated 300 members are still living from the original 6,600-member unit formed in 1942 to protect Alaska, then a territory, from attack. The 26 men have enough other military service to reach the 20-year minimum for retirement pay but would lose it if the Territorial Guard service doesn’t count.”
These are native Alaskans. Sorta like the Navajo Code Talkers. These 26 gentlemen defended and prevented the Japanese from advancing up the Aleutians.
Birth certificate or no, Obama is un-American.
Just transfer the $$$ from the Libya projects to the vets. Don’t say we can’t afford it.
Un-f’n-believable
Take it out of the stimulus money, Zero. You know, the money that Joe Biden is out there pissing away.
If they were from Hawaii, the question would be: how soon can we have the photo op?
This is a slap in the face to Alaskans.
Time for Sarah to author a Facebook message showing what a small man Zero really is.
If they where official apologists or marxist professors he might respect them.
I don’t necessarily see a problem with your logic. I would remind you that we flipped Congress in 1994 though, and it will happen again.
Obama doesn’t seem to have the smarts to figure out he is digging his own political grave here. He’s going to keep pushing radical top heavy governance to the point that the populace is going to give him the Carter treatment.
Twenty-ten looms large, because the message is going to be loud and clear. I still maintain that even California might surprise some people before it’s all over.
Folks are very angry in the state, and if the right Conservative comes along, they may take it in a landslide.
Not a shock, Obama doesn’t value our military or the elderly, which in his mind, is anyone over the age of 45(according to Ezekial Emmanuel, they are considered useless after that age). These guys have 3 strikes against them, they are elderly, they are in the military, and they are from Alaska. Usually I don’t believe a word out of Globe Magazine, but their front cover has an interesting article about how Obama has a 25 name enemy list, and guess who is in that list, Sarah Palin. So yeah, anything Alaska related Obama wants destroyed
Thats what I had been saying. What matters is his lack of American identity not his birthplace. The money he wastes is 10 million times what the men need.
And who does the prsident think he is? King of America? Let him veto the bill that contains the provision instead of defining what the people must do by pre-emptive fiat.
Obama is losing it. We are definitely over the target.Open the bomb bay doors and let the Obama Junta have it!
I love to see fascists scurrying around looking for cover in the morning.
Billions for ACORN but nothing for 26 old soldiers who served their nation with honor?
Obama just lost hundreds of thousands of votes, I love it when that happens!
But Zelaya was removed by Congress, “using” the military that’s why it wasn’t a coup. The Honduras Congress was acting within their Constituition.
Prayers needed for America Heroes, Alaskan Veterans from WWII denied
pension by Commander in Chief, obama!
Should we ping the +/- 70 years ago list?
You are assuming we will be able to vote in 2010.
Al that has to happen is an “emergency” be declared and all elections are halted.
Remember some people said that W would do that?
They were crack troops also, they were the only ones who could actually operate in Alaska and the Aleutians without major difficulties with the weather.
Al = All
Definately!
If they had been from HI, instead of AK, they might have got soemthing. Maybe they can petition those two liberal senators from AK.
Does obama even know that the Japanese invaded Alaska and killed 1,481 Americans there? The enemy lost 4,350. I guess he doesn’t consider the defenders of Alaska important because it wasn’t one of the 57 states yet.
Hopefully Leo will hit paydirt in HI or Orly/Kreep with Judge Carter. If Leo gets the BC then a massive class action by members of the military should be filed against the usurper. If SOCTUS refuses then based on the evidence from HI or Orly the Islamo-marxist needs to be evicted.
These 26 guys left, Inuit, and Aleut, Alaskans, fought for control of the the Aleutian chain of islands.
With all the frickin bailouts, Obama has finally run out of my money.
People in MN and elsewhere really believe in Obama. You are out of the loop. People like, trust, and admire him. Now that doesn’t mean the people are intelligent and right, but that’s the American people, “that’s the way it is”, as Uncle Walter proclaimed.
They were.
I bet Obama couldn’t pass the most basic eighth grade quiz on World War II, not could his delighted supporters.
I strongly suspect that Obama will rue the multiple times he’s dissed and insulted the vets of this country.
When the balloon goes up — and that could happen any day at this rate — with the exception of some of the black troopers who, sadly, will be more motivated by race than a desire to save the nation, the bulk of those folks will be on the right side of the barricades.
We COULD see a 7 days in May scenario come down.
So many negative terms fail when it comes to describing this pretender.
He is a national embarrassment.
I think we all know why this decision was made.
Funny you mention the Globe and the Obama enemies list. I saw that, too. Sarah was #4, with Glenn Beck on top, Larry Sinclair at #2 and I think either Hannity or O’Reilly at #3.
Of course last week they said that Bush was suicidal and that Laura had left him over his cheating on her with Condi Rice.
How about some of his enemies team up. Glenn can fly out to Alaska. Apparently he’s already in Seattle today so he’s fairly close. He can do a show with Sarah, Sen Murkowsi, Sean Parnell would probably show up, even Begich seems to be behind this although I doubt he’d show. If Glenn doesn’t want to, I’d think Greta would probably fly out. As long as she gets another ride on the snow machine.
But they can get all or most of the 26 guardsmen on and demand action. Obama will cave. It’s not really all that much money, but it would be a good thing to do and would be very good pr. It would even tie in with the health care debate and the elderly. Once again, Obama cutting costs at the expense of the elderly. If he won’t even step up for men who defended this nation from the original Axis how do we expect him to step up for anyone else.
This could be an issue like how Reagan used the Panama Canal as his pet issue. Call him out on abandoning veterans.
What a worthless vile pile of garbage he is.
I think it is a possibility.
Birth certificate or no, Obama is un-American.
