Obama vs. Vets:most airheaded, obnoxious, arrogant,uncaring,and self-defeating political gimmick
am thinker ^ | 10/9/13 | e cooper

The government has been shut down since October 1st and President Obama has decided to close Washington by making life as inconvenient as possible. He did this before with the Sequestration when he would not permit any White House tours. Instead of understanding that he should work for the best interests of Americans, helping them wherever possible, he has done just the opposite. It appears he sees this as a game where he wants to win at all costs with the clear loser the American people. In response there is the possibility of a new rally, "Million Vet March On the Memorials" that will take place on October 13th. American Thinker decided to use the World War II Memorial fiasco to point out the president's uncaring ways and how he tried to use veterans as political pawns.

Last Tuesday a group of WWII veterans from Mississippi, as part of the "Honor Flights" Program, was scheduled to visit their memorial in Washington DC. Honor Flight represents America's pride in honoring its veterans for their sacrifices. They pay for the veterans' trip to Washington so they can reflect at their memorials.

Since the beginning of the government shutdown, the White House and the Department of the Interior have both rejected a request to assure that the memorial remained open for the veterans. In fact, veterans were told that if they decided to attend arrests would be made. Congressman Steven Palazzo (R-Miss) came to their rescue. He first tried to reason with this administration, but got nowhere. He explained that the $90,000 cost was nonrefundable and that these veterans, in

Well think of it this way: When someone is at war with the United states, who do they fight? The US military.

Is this being reported by the mainstream media? (I don’t watch them so I don’t know.)

A lot of people are assuming that use of force is a one-way street. It most certainly is not. Don't start none, won't be none.

You notice how the communists are out in force lately running for office? It’s like Obama was the point man and now they are all crawling out of the woodwork like a cancer ready to strike the fatal blow. Like here in New York city we got Bill De Blasio, avowed hardcore commie running for Mayor with the press pushing him like crazy, and the morons in the city will probably vote him in.

Dear Diary,

Today was another good day.

I got to screw over the military again.
That's always a laugh because they are always so macho.
But the minute I take something from them they start whining and sniveling.

And I got to mess with John Boehner's head at the same time!
What a pussy.
He didn't cry on TV again but I bet he was crying in his pillow all night.

If I knew being King was so much fun I would hace done it years ago...

I was just thinking how Boehner must be trying to decide the best day to cave: one with a lot of news coverage, or one with the reporters out of town.

Democratic Americans cannot understand the point you are illustrating.

“Moron” may be too mild a term. It does mean the mind of a 12-year-old.

People in NJ haven’t voted for a conservative senator in many generations. They are truly looking for new handouts to come.

Friend....you are absolutely correct on all counts. However.....this special election, being held on Wednesday, October 16, 2013 is really a turnout election.

Now....i know the odds are long that Steve Lonegan can defeat, Flim/Flam, Scam Shyster, los life Obamabot, street thug/criminal, Cory Booker....but as long as there are possible decent odds of victory, we have to fight for a strong turnout for Steve Lonegan.....who is truly the better man for New Jersey!!!

Lonegan has campaigned very hard...all over the state...has pulled almost even with Booker....and does have a fair shot of winning the Us Senate seat come 10/16/2013!!! New Jersey voters....you can make it happen!!! Vote for stev Lonegan for US Senate!!!

I know right, most 12 year olds wouldn’t allow someone to steal their money after mowing a neighbors lawn. Liberals on the other hand will - They seem to have no problem with that. De Blasio has said flat out he will raise taxes - What kind of campaign promise is that? “I will take your money if you elect me!” LOL And STILL they will vote for him! And what will happen? They will complain when they take home a fraction of what they have earned.
