FREEDOM - OBAMA WANTS TO TAKE THEIR PAY!
In the latest and most outrageous move, the Obama administration wants to cut pay and/or benefits for our troops and their families, even those deployed overseas fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, in order to reign in budgetary spending.THEY'RE FIGHTING FOR OUR SAFETY AND
FREEDOM - OBAMA WANTS TO TAKE THEIR PAY!
It’s the classic game that the liberals play whenever they are in power – they are always quick to claim they support the troops, but the military is always first on the chopping block. Yesterday Secretary of Defense Robert Gates revealed that the Obama Administration was considering cutting military paychecks when he said in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute.

Thanks to the Obama Administration, the gilded age where America supported it’s troops in times of war may be coming to an end, and this commander-in-chief may be asking our troops to fight two wars while at the same time GIVING UP pay, and benefits both for themselves, their spouses and their children!
DON’T LET OBAMA CUT OUR TROOPS PAYCHECKS!
On Memorial Day Weekend it was learned that Barack Hussein Obama and his Regime want to cut military spending, including pay and health benefits to the soldiers, because he wants to be fiscally responsible. Of course he does, how else do you think he is going to get the billions to give to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian Nazis?
ReplyDeleteObama gave a speech regarding the death of Osama Bin Laden and was reading from the teleprompter and said," These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded." Of course he read that; after all, Obama is running for reelection. However, on Super Bowl Sunday Bill O'Reilly interviewed Obama and asked him "What's the worst part of the job?" Obama was wining and made a spontaneous statement that the worst part of the job is he has to wear a sport jacket on Super Bowl Sunday and being in the bubble, with eyes constantly on him, where he is not able to have a spontaneous conversation with someone. Clearly a pathetic and pitiful response. Then again, what do you expect coming from a narcissistic elitist Community Agitator? The spontaneous statement shows his true feelings about the military.
Obama gave the order to take Bin Laden out, which was a good thing, however maybe for the wrong reason. Obama wanted to show how macho he was and that he was not a wimp. Obama wanted/wants to close down GITMO and is against the enhanced interrogation methods that helped get the info to take out Bin Laden. This hunt for Osama has been going on for 10 years and it was the Special Forces that did the work not Obama.
Let's not forget the Obama regime is still investigating the CIA personnel who did the enhanced interrogation methods on some of these terrorists that resulted in credible information. They also came after some NAVY Seals who supposedly gave a jihadist a fat lip when he was captured. This jihadist was responsible for burning alive some Blackwater Contractors and then hung their remains from a bridge. I guess the Seals that killed Bin Laden were concerned if they would have tried to take him alive they might have gave him a fat lip.
When it comes to what Obama truly believes of the military do not believe what he reads from the teleprompter, look at his actions. Remember, just a few weeks ago Obama wasn’t going to pay the troops if there was a Government shutdown and now he wants to cut their pay. He was going to use the military as pawns or a shield for political reasons. On 4/7/201, he signed a memo stating if there was a Government shutdown the troops would have their payments delayed, contrary to what was allowed in the past by other Presidents. Obama floated the idea that military personnel wounded in battle should have their private medical insurance pay for their medical bills. Now, he has Michelle Obama and Jill Biden doing commercials about the American people supporting our troops. Our soldiers should be paid on time and soldiers who served in the military should have the best medical care provided to them as a benefit for serving and protecting this great country.
Thanks to everyone who served and is serving in our military and thanks Special Forces. Remember also, the troops who gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives to defend our FREEDOM on this Memorial Day.
