"LULAC represents illegals, so why should money go to America’s defenders when there are illegal invaders out there who need the handouts?"

Lobbyists for business/jobs/economy need not apply. Lobbyists for Marxist causes, the door is always open.

...a letter pressing him to support cuts to defense programs to pay for universal preschool, relief for Americans facing foreclosure on their homes and expanded benefits for military veterans.

Especially Republicans, eh?

[Prokopton]

Doesn’t Congress control defense spending?

[Prole]

Every American needs to do that.

I think I heard him say today that he is supporting health care for ALL veterans. (I just heard the end of the story on FOX) The commentators were speculating as to how he planned to pay for this MASSIVE giveaway.

Now I think I know how he plans to pay for it! He's going to try to appease Vets (pay them off) by giving them free health-care because he knows they are the main ones that oppose defense cuts. What a slimy turd!

[singfreedom]

.......all the bad stuff anyway.

That lower boom looks like a good “O” to make an Obama pic.

".... desires of many Democrats to slim American military power."

I have no words.

[Uncle Ivan]

The more I hear this guy talk the more I think he is a puppet of someone else.

[Gator113]

Absolutely.

LOL! Nice.

Obama is a loser waiting to happen. When the public finds sees exactly what he has planned they are going to head the other direction. If I were the Democrat party I’d be fearful of how much defense cutting gets in the mix. Just let an attack happen under their watch after publicly cutting defense.

[ChiMark]

Obama is too naive, a neophyte, to be a leader.

He never showed the ability to lead. At the age of
47 Obama should have a better resume if he were
leadership material.

You bet he’s a puppet of the far left.

He’s been used by Wright Phleger and who else but his wife.

[verklaring]

The demands carry weight because the groups, the Black Leadership Forum and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), represent two constituencies that are important to Obama’s political strategy: blacks and Hispanics.

Presumably, the ones being nuked in your graphic are the constituents mentioned. have they no sense of self preservation? (sarc).

"I think I heard him say today that he is supporting health care for ALL veterans. "

The bill offers all kinds of vets benefits; GI ed., health care, GI mortgages, etc. All after one hitch, war or no. The bill is designed to cripple the armed forces by discouraging careers in the military.

I just hope that “joke” always remains merely a bit of dark humor.

The Left looks at the Pentagon and thinks ‘free money’!!!!

Just look back at the Carter and Clinton fiascos and see that the only cutbacks or downsizing which ever occurred where Defense related. And then the GOP had to run up deficits to cover the holes in our military that were created.

Defending America has never been on the front of any democrat candidates mind. And usually not even in the back either.
