Once again the new administration is going to punish our Military, the very people that provide our freedom and protect us. BTW, isn't Obama a "Federal Employee".

And since congress wants to cap the banks admin salaries that receive stimulus monies at 400K, doesn't that mean that some are going to take a "pay cut"?,,,,not that some don't deserve it, trust me, I believe some do,.....but, yes a big "BUT" here. This is the problem I have with that.-- If an employee was hired to work for 600k a year and then you cut them to 400k a year that is a 33% pay cut. Shouldn't our wasteful corrupt Government officials in Congress that forced those very banks to fail take the same 33% pay cut? (just a scenario)

We need to get a good attorney who will take on the case for military against the Kenyan-born marxist over his Mobassa BC.

He wants good people in the military to quit so he can load it up with thugs.

He does not care about the military, our security or the economy. It is all about grabbing power. He is owned by the Saudis and probably China.

Once again a Democrat president lied to the military and the American people when he promised more benefits and pay raises for the military.

I knew it was a lie when he spoke it. The same as his claim that he is against big government. Yeah right.

Support the troops...never vote Democrat.

“He wants good people in the military to quit so he can load it up with thugs.” Obama is looking very much like the 1998 version of Hugo Chavez!

You wish it was Clinton 2.0. More like Mugabe 2.0. He is far far worse than Clinton.

I hope someone sends this to Gen Zinni, Adm Johnson who happily works in the belly of the beast, and all the other Obong-o loving gen/flag officers who dance with The One. Shame on them all...

I know. The second he said it I almost threw my cup at the TV and screamed, "LIAR!"

Anyone....didn’t he say in his speech the other night that he was giving the troops a raise and making sure they received the care they needed?

What’s the sense, they can cut their salaries back to “Zero” and then put a stipulation in the “stimulus package” about politician reimbursement. Plus, do you really think that the paycheck they get is their main source of income? No, it’s kick backs from the so called “pay off” package and many other sources where they get the BULK of their income.

Believe me, their pay is “chump change” in comparison to what the radical/terrorists give them!

As a veteran who served when Carter was President, I do not find this surprising whatsoever. Obama’s disdain for all things military will become more clear as he unfolds his Progressive agenda. Preventing military pay from keeping pace with the cost of living is just another slap in the face to a very dedicated part of society. Just like the Carter days of old, any high ranking professional leaders left in the military that hadn’t bailed during Clinton’s years will be rethinking their commitment to this disaster in progress, i.e. the U.S.A.
