Obama on sexual assault in the military: 'I have no tolerance for this'
Politico44 A Living Diary of the Obama Presidency ^ | 5/7/13 | DONOVAN SLACK

Posted on 05/08/2013 9:25:18 AM PDT by ColdOne

"We're going to have to not just step up our game, we have to exponentially step up our game," Obama said during a pres conference in the East Room of the White House. He added that victims should know, "I've got their backs, I will support them, and we're not going to tolerate this."

The president called for perpetrators to be prosecuted, court-martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged, "period," and said he doesn't want to hear about speeches and education initiatives to address the problem.

"This is not who we are, this is not what the U.S. military is about," he said. "I have no tolerance for this. I have comunicated this to the secretary of defense, we're going to communicate this again to folks up and down the chain, in areas of authority... I expect conseqences... If we find out somebody's engaging in this stuff, they’ve got to be held acountable. ...It's not acceptable."

“But I’m okay with it if it’s my peeps, or gays, undocumented workers, Democratic officials or members of the religion of peace” he continued....

"Obama on sexual assault in the military: 'I have no tolerance for this."

"But if they get killed in Benghazi, that's different."

I think this is all a bunch of put-up bullshit designed to take the media’s mind off the Benghazi Story they are searching high and low for a diversion to not cover it.

Worthless meaningless time diverting tripe.

Reagan's goal was a 600 ship navy and the ability to defend ourselves from ICBMs.

Obama's is a christian & heterosexual male-free global force for good.

Liberals claim they are tough on sexual assault....but its all BS. Many of the liberals protected class....gays, lesbians, blacks, LGBT.....are the ones more likely to rape and sex assault

Sex assault is a court-martial offense....there should not be as much sex assault in the military.....unless you are not using courts-martial

The feeling is mutual, Obamadork.

The military has no tolerance or respect for you.

The office of the presidency? Yes.

You - they don’t give a smelly Obama.

This is not who we are, this is not what the U.S. military is about,” he said..

How the hell would Obama know anything about the US Military except he has allowed open perverts in and is hammering Cbristians in the military
