WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. House of Representatives was poised to approve on Thursday a $550.4 billion defense authorization bill for fiscal 2010 that has drawn a veto threat from President Barack Obama because it contains money for fighter jets he does not want.

that has drawn a veto threat from President Barack Obama because it contains money for fighter jets he does not want.

It should be obvious to the most casual observer that this nitwit posing as Pres_ent is a threat to our country. The demos in Congress won't impeach him but that may change in 2010. It's not possible to tell if this guy is trying to purposely destroy our country OR if he is an incompetent fool but it really makes no difference as it can be argued he'd be doing the same thing in either case.

The more they throw money around in Washington on non-productive expenditures, the more the defense budget looks like a great investment...

With all that money to line their pockets with and such an expressed desire to spend money on any project they can find, why such an alergic reaction to spend money on defense, on planes on factory lines now.

What is so important about the destruction of America to these dweebs that they will pass on this pork over every pig butt they fight over now?!

Yes F22, and all the thousands of good paying factory and support jobs that go along with it!!!!!

Disgusting!!!

[puppypusher]

I think that veto would be overthrown so fast Zero’s head would spin because a lot of these leftwing congress creeps want that money spent in their communities.They’ll fight like dogs to get it.
