Obama and the Dems are to blame; they said so themselves out of their own mouths.

I think the longest has been 2 1/2 weeks. If so, a month is probably out of the question.

That gives us a month to write a bill that ensures continued benefits for our veterans.

Yep, keep piecemealing the spending. If dems say no to any of it, they're the bad guys. Just keep doling out everything except obamacare, extended unemployment and the loosey-goosey foodstamps to surfers program.

Three options:

1. Vets tell the Democrats to pass the Republican bill.

2. Republicans send a stand alone bill for vets.

3. Don’t pass anything, and let the vets decide who to punish.

Its a safe bet Obama will make sure he cuts benefits (despite still collecting all those tax dollars that are supposed to be used to pay the beneits) for anyone that he knows it will cause the most pain just to exploit it for the media just out of spite and for revenge. His deeds and methods need to be exposed to show the type of man he really is.

The GOP needs to call them on this. Its a dirty tactic if its intentional. He could pay for almost all VA payments by not taking one of his 4 vacation trips a year.

Maybe my bank is screwed up, or maybe its cause all the nasty things I post about Obama.

I prefer option #2, but let’s try both one and two.

In this bizzaro world, telling the truth is being nasty? Stand for the truth all the time and refer to it as only such.

I’m devastated. I get a disability check but make no plans to live off of it.

I just got my disability payment yesterday. Right under the wire. If I don't get my check next month I will blame POTUS and Harry Reid. Didn't even have to think about it! That was easy. :-)

This can’t be true! I’m gonna die in week three if the shutdown isn’t resolved. Somebody please help me? (Sarc)

I literally despise odumbo and his ilk. As a disabled vet myself, I will certainly NOT die or loose a lot of sleep over my disability check, other disabled veteran’s with major problems much more severe than mine, who count on those checks will certainly suffer and it is possible, some may pass on.

Why can’t Congress shutdown ODUMBO? His numerous vacations, golf outings and plain wasting of OUR MONEY could go to those who NEED the money and it certainly is not odumbo. Shut HIM DOWN permanently.
