The Obama administration has advised Congress to cut off pensions for 26 elderly members of the World War II-era Alaska Territorial Guard who served the nation without pay during the Japanese attack.

According to McClatchy Newspapers, the administration sent a "strongly worded" message to Congress concerning its priorities for a military spending bill, and the service members didn't make the cut.

Yup, cannot spend that vast sum of money servicing our vets...we need it for corruption and other higher Obamaloon idiocy.

This administration is past sickening...it is getting very very close to revolt.

That money was used to try to get Chicago the Olympics.

So sorry, see you in the next life.

The Republicans should filibuster ANY legislation until these guys are taken care of. Hell, how much longer are they going to be around anyway?

Although this is a rhetorical question, fear of former Gov. Sarah Palin political future wouldn't have anything to do with attempts by ZERO, Reid, Pelosi and other LEFTIST thugs to try OUTRIGHT THEFT from these patriots, would it?

Just when you think it could not get worse. How many votes can he and the demorats buy with the money that was to have gone to these brave men and women—probabaly not that many but when you are buying votes all is fair in love and war.

Just your basic Chicago payback.

Hopefully somebody will grab this issue and run with it. It has big legs.

C’mon, we need this money to spend for junk through yet another stimlus bill that will be a complete failure. Things like $ 2 million for the new road to the Clinton presidential library, millions to promote the Second City for the Olympics, private jets for Nancy Pelosi. Why on earth would we spend money on veterans who actually served this country when we have priorities such as these that can he paid for, not bu us, but by the crushing debt placed on our grandchildren?

Hundreds of billions in illegal transfer payments to banks, auto companies, and mortgage agencies, and he slams these patriots?

Bull Puckey! He’s got to go. It’s time to take back the country.

Wanna bet Obama is just trying to tell Palin that HE is the “boss”? She took care that the vets get transitional payment.

“I am discussed....”

I'm sure you mean disgusted, and I'm with you. How much money could it cost to keep 26 elderly Alaskans on their pensions for the sparse years they have left?

Beyond ridiculous. It reeks of a huge slam against Sarah Palin.
