Death benefits not paid to fallen soldiers families

The MSM and the conservative media are treating the scandal very differently.

To read about the story in the MSM, the Pentagon had no choice about withholding payment of the death benefit from the grieving families and denying them a plane ride to Dover AFB to meet the bodies of the soldiers killed in battle. It seems that some unknown entity we'll call "Mr. Government Closer" found a rule that said that death benefits can't be paid, but that the Pentagon can keep the military golf course open so that President Obama can play. Of course nobody told Obama anything, he has to wait to read about it in the Washington Post. And of course, when Commander-in-Chief Obama found out what the Obama Pentagon had done he went right to work ordering his Pentagon to find a way. What a guy!

Of course the reality is 180 degrees from this fairy tale. The Obama administration wanted to create the maximum pain on the American people to pressure the House of Representatives to cave in to all the Obama demands. These include absolutely no changes in that train wreck called ObamaCare (except what Obama decrees) and a blank check with no limits on all future government spending.

So how can we cause the American people pain while blaming it on the Tea Party? If that meant closing the open-air World War 2 Memorial and the Viet Nam Memorial that was one way. If it meant closing the Grand Canyon and Mt. Rushmore, that was another. If it meant turning young cancer patients away form the NIH and refusing to consider a bill passed by the House to keep it open, that was third. If it meant not paying the widows and orphans of the dead, that was a fourth. The list of petty and vindictive actions taken by Team Obama is much longer than this, but they will do to show the nature of the people at the top.

This is the group that has the full throated support of the MSM who tell us that we should be blaming the Republicans and the Tea Party because they can make all this pain go away if only they would give in. And it's true, you can always make the torturers stop if you give them what they want. But make no mistake about who's inflicting the pain and the nature of the people who choose to deny aging veterans access to their memorials, families the right to see their parks and grieving families the right to meet their dead heroes and collect the pittance that is due them. Make no mistake that when you hear how this is all the fault of the Tea Party, just keep in mind that the House of Representatives has passed bills to fund all of these activities, but Harry Reid won't let them pass in the Senate and Obama promises to veto them.

I wish more people realized the Obama regime is our version of the Bolsheviks.

[CARTOUCHE]

And Obama tromps on the constitution once again by creating debt to a private company. Only the house can do that.

Nixon had the grace to resign for his violations. Ya think Obama would ever do the same?

[Fightin Whitey]

our version of the Bolsheviks.

Obama is Stalin without the gonads.

He's a half a man who wins through weakness, through whining, who achieves his goals by playing the victim.

You are correct with willing apparatchiks and thought control commissars in and out of government, times will only get more challenging. Pray.

King hussein: “I found out about this just like the rest of you on the evening news. I had no clue.” Well he really doesn’t have a clue does he? Mr. all encompassing and tolerant. Foot stompin’ petulant brat. And if you believe that he has a health program to sell you.

This person CREATING the news funds out far too often by READING the news. Are there no democrats who are honest enough to admit this terrible leadership if not flat out lies.

DANIEL GREENFIELD "This is Obama’s message to America: Either Congress completely capitulates and recognizes his power to do whatever he likes......or US war memorials will be shut down, senior citizens thrown out of their homes, and families of soldiers killed in the line of duty will have to struggle to cover funeral expenses."

Ohaha kicks vets out of the WWII Memorial built in their honor and shoves American citizens out of the DC mall...... BUT he sends out vote-crazed Dems to suckup to non-citizens---illegals welcomed to hold an amnesty rally at the very same DC Mall.

The BO family live in WH luxury on the taxpayers' dime---Mrs O
reportedly has 24 assistants and a diamond collection she never
hesitates to flaunt.

Mrs O wore her pricey diamond bangles (bought on a govt salary?) at a Texas DNC fund-raiser, attended by "tolerant and compassionate" Dems....raising big bucks to keep Mr O in office so he could work for "the poor."

Mrs diamond Gothic cuff was priced at $15,350 set with 2.17 carats in diamonds and the Quatrefoil bracelet at $11,800 set with 1.73 carats in diamonds. (Excerpt) Read more at houston.culturemap.com.

Typical tolerant and compassionate lib/prog schtick: get struggling taxpayers to subsidize endless do-good programs "for the poor" ....... and make a buck on it for themselves personally, and to keep the party in power.

Yet Baraq Hussein 0bama is living in the lap of luxury, eating wagu steak (when he's not snacking on fido) and playing golf. He's a totally disgusting POS!

[onedoug]

hussein knew. And if he didn’t know, he should be thrown out of office.

[VerySadAmerican]

Obama could have won the PR battle if he had shut down his golf course and AF One and started eating TV dinners. But he excluded the royal family from the pain.

Guess who chose to (1) deny aging veterans access to their memorials, (2) deny American families the right to see US parks, and, (3) denied grieving families the right to meet their dead heroes, and to collect the pittance that is due them?

Oh sure, you keep hearing hear it's the fault of the Tea Party.....but keep in mind that the House passed bills to fund all of these activities.

Harry Reid has cruelly bottled up the funding provisions in the Senate and The Vengeful One in the WH has promised to veto them.

"We're sick of House peons' intolerance."

They keep sabotaging our hard-earned tax-subsidized govt perks, privileges and exemptions."

"Republican peasants!!"

"Obama has ruled that we are the Chosen Ones."

"Republicans can go sit at the back of the bus."
