Obama Cuts Military Budget 11%
Environmental Republican ^ | 1/30/09 | Scott

Posted on 01/30/2009 8:08:14 PM PST by sswenviron

Yes, he's cutting the military budget...in the midst of two wars. Think about that; he is cutting back on supplies, health care, VA funding and everything else while simultaneously pushing a bill that includes $4-billion plus for "neighborhood stabilization"--read ACORN.

Obama needs his base right about now and he'll do anything to get their support, including sentencing our men and women of the military to substandard conditions. That will result in deaths to those who joined to protect our nation.

He'll end both wars even if he kills our troops.

Like I said, he is going to get a lot of people killed. What he has done to our national security apparatus is bad enough. Now this.

You are about to realize that ACORN is about to become men and women in uniform.

I see fewer volunteers and fewer re-ups in our future.

The votes of many of our men and women in uniform are no longer even counted.
They should get a double vote.

”You are about to realize that ACORN is about to become men and women in uniform."

Quite correct, and it appears we will let him get away with it. Funny; not ha-ha funny, but strange funny. Remember how we often wondered how the German people let the Nazi’s get away it?

Someone was posting on Reighht Side of Life blog where Leo suggested the military sue for the BC. A poster said the Marines love Obama. 70% support him? WTF? Must have been an Obot. Obama wants to play catch and rlease to help his Islamic brothers.

Second Week, Same as the First! This guy is going for Bush's popularity ratings by the end of his first month.

Next week is going to be a one hell of a carnival ride as folks work out the impact of this baby. Obama has completely misjudged American sentiment and he is going to convert fear of financial collapse to fear of his administration betraying them to death. This could get ugly. Folks don't feel safe in their jobs and nothing the administration is doing is helping and much just adds to the carnage. But, closing Gitmo, Letting KSM potentially free to roam the planet again as his trial has been postponed and most likely canceled. And now cutting defense, it is screaming hit me and you know that they will. Especially with 50 AQ fighters dying from a botched Bio-Weapon, God help us all.

So much for “We support the troops”.

Unfortunately, I fear that Congress will play along with this proposal and thus fail in its duties under Article I, Section 8.

Whose poster said Marines Love Obama? I doubt that. There no doubt are a few of the younger ones who may, but I can guarandmantee you the older ones, the more senior Marines will not share that opinion.

We have to mobilize. Note it was a Friday dump.

I will try to find the link. My guess is he was an Obot. I know O took pains to play basketball with some Marines in Hawaii. O will sell them out.
