President Obama opposed passage of funding for veterans' death benefits because the Fisher House Foundation has agreed to cover the costs, according to his spokesman.

As has been exhibited time and time again, the Kenyan clown and his regime have no respect for American traditions or values. Why should he care? His upbringing was to hate this country.

Has anyone seen Valarie Jarrett recently?

I agree with the BTTT. This should be spread all over the place.

Can Obama stoop any lower? Is that even possible?

Certainly.

It is reprehensible.

Last night O’Reilly (rightly) called for the removal of Hagel from office over this death benefit fiasco. Tonight he should be calling for the removal of Obama.

Definitely.

I don’t know how anyone could make an argument that he should STAY in office??

He should be GONE.

Is this for real, has it been confirmed???

Because if it is, I'm going to be bouncing off the walls.

I think he’s well below 37 percent. The media are propping his numbers up for as long as they can.

I think he’s closer to 25 percent.

Agree, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's even as high 25%. He's already ticked off some unions with his Zippycare.

It is real and confirmed.

Thing is.. they may be able to override his Veto.

If they don’t this pushes the Dems closer to losing control of the Senate.

I totally agree.

These people are SO out of touch with America.. the polls aren’t even showing just how bad this is hurting them.

That’s fine. They’ll find out come election time.

True Clinton hated the military, but I don’t think even he would deny death benefits like the Kenyan is doing. Clinton did grow up in the South, not Southeast Asia.

Oh I think I KNOW how they feel.

Remember during the 2008 election.. when everyone talked about how, if Obama were elected, the world would love us again?

Bahahhahahahahahahaha

The Fisher House folks stepped into the void thinking this would be temporary, they are in for a big surprise. The President can not do this, it is clearly a violation of the constitution. Congress can only do this(finance). I fear this is but a dress rehearsal for more crisis to come. Pray

Glen Beck was saying this today. The president has NO authority to borrow money on his own.

What Obama has done is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!! He does not have the authority to fund any federal activity, only the HOUSE can do that. Impeachable offense?

“One of these days he will be caught telling the truth.”

Years ago there was a video out of Chicago. I believe it was while he was running for Senator. In this video Obama made the statement “I was born in Kenya”I had no way to save it at the time or even a reason to think I needed to.

Looks like he might be permanently off the teleprompter now and we are seeing the real Obama.
