Obama Squeezes Republicans’ Throats on Defense Spending
Breitbart ^ | 7 Oct 2015 | by Ben Shapiro

On Monday, the Obama administration announced that President Obama would veto a defense authorization bill if it did not close down Guantanamo Bay. White House press secretary Josh Earnest explained that the House funding bill would be vetoed “principally because…of the irresponsible way that it funds our national defense priorities, but also because of the efforts to prevent the closure [of] the prison at Guantanamo Bay.” He added that Democrats would sustain Obama’s veto, and defense authorization would die.

Maybe Vlad will light up Obama’s day. Probably not. Obama is more destructive to the US than any enemy attack.

And the best part - Republicans would somehow be made to look as though they were to blame....

Stupid, lame Republicans! Shout to the world that Obama wants to release all the Gitmo inmates right now and that he is holding the defense budget hostage! Fight, you wusses! Go for the throat!

The Democrat media could not believe that Republicans would”shut down the government” over a little thing like killing babies and selling their hearts, brains and eyes...but they didn’t think it strange that Obama threatened to veto the appropriations bill, which would shut down the government, because he wants to keep giving half a billion taxpayer dollars to the killers at Planned Parenthood.

Now Obama says he will shut down our militatary if Congress doesn’t close Gitmo and bring the Muslim killers to the US. They should refuse to honor that threat,of oust, but Mitch, Obama’s b***h, will cave as usual and give him anything he wants. Shameful.

You forget who is in charge of the House and Senate. Two spineless cowards.

Oh, I know. But I did address my rant to Republicans, not either of them.
