President Obama vows to veto funding for the troops
Politicons- Politically Conservative ^ | April 7th | Henry D'Andrea

Posted on 04/07/2011 3:52:18 PM PDT by conservativeforpalin

Today John Boehner proposed a one-week CR to keep government open for a week and to secure defense funding through the end of the year. However, a few minutes ago, the White House stated categorically that it would veto the one-week CR if it passes the Senate in an e-mail blast, underscoring in original:

The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 1363, making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, and for other purposes. As the President stated on April 5, 2011, if negotiations are making significant progress, the Administration would support a short-term, clean Continuing Resolution to allow for enactment of a final bill................

If presented with this bill, the President will veto it.

Of course! Anything good for America (like drilling for oil IN OUR OWN COUNTRY that would produce ENERGY INDEPENDENCE and PRODUCE JOBS!!!!) — he’s against; anything that hurts this country — he’s for.

Anyone who still supports Obama does not deserve to breath. End of discussion.

So....bring our kids home and let the muslims have at each other. It’s their problem, not ours and our kids shouldn’t have to put their lives on the line for them.

Hey, Obamao, you f***ing ingrate! Your party controlled ALL of the government in 2009 and 2010, and yet it never even PROPOSED a f***ing budget! Now that the GOP controls one of the three branches of government, and HAS proposed a budget, you are throwing as tantrum. Grow up, man-child.

It is at the President’s discretion whether the troops are paid - or not. When the Gubmint shut down in 1995 Clinton made sure the troops were paid. Obama disgusts me.

They (Obama, et al) do appear to want an insurrection here while the troops are marooned in hostile territory. AWESOME!

They gave him a way out, but he’s probably going to be too dumb and hateful to use it.

So....bring our kids home

I don't mean to nit pick, but please don't refer to our troops as "kids". This is what the libs do. They are grown adults who have willingly volunteered on their own accord for a noble cause.
