Obama removes a carrier from the Gulf supposedly due to sequester budget cuts but continues to give billions Egypt, Syria and other Islamist countries.

We REALLY need to furlow Obama for 3 years and 10 months. Seriously this guy is incredible at what he is able to get away with. It is almost unbelievable. If Bush put 880,000 people on a 20 percent pay cut and then sent money to even Israel, the media would be having convusions.

That $ 60 million would have bought a lot of extra security to Benghazi.

And it would have allowed 25,000 illegal alien criminals to be deported instead of released.

Puts into perspective the whole sequester issue—and what a massive lie it is.

Hey, come on now. We’re extending our hand in friendship so that these peaceful islamists can survive, get healthy (with moochelle antoinettes help) and eventually return the favor by killing us. Not too hard to figure where this is going. Besides which, the administration has an AMEX black card apparently, which they are more than willing to use since they don’t have to worry about paying the bill. Ah yes, love the smell of radical left wing extremist demokkkrat liberal scumbags in the morning.

I have several friends serving as full-time National Guard who are being furloughed - taking a 20% pay cut - and we’re STILL sending money to enemies of our country???!!!!!!!

It’s pretty %*!# obvious where our muzzie occupier of the White House’s priorities lie.
