What else explains it?

O-bambi was told by all the other foreign leaders that we don't need more 'protection' as they aren't going to shoot at us anymore.

And he bought it. (both literally and figuratively)

Our potus will be told by his handlers that this might be too aggressive a move to enact their agenda. I expect him to talk around it, though. He’ll try to change nothing but make it look as if he has.

“Soetoro’s military policy so far

Gays ask and tell
Fight Taliban with hands tied
Cancel F-22 and Missile Defense
Cancel Body armor and vehicle funding.

We are less safe, Impeach him!”

Debilitating our military while at war with radical Islamic jihadists is NOT a good idea.

Then again, we have a POTUS who bows to Saudi kings and makes speeches to the Muslim Brotherhood so it makes perfect sense.

“READING MIRANDA RIGHTS TO TERRORISTS IS ‘CRAZY’ AND ‘STUPID,’ SAY GOP CONGRESSMEN”

Makes it easier to hit the target—our guys.

Don’t shoot @ burqas & them what wears ‘em.

Oh, and we won’t provide you with vests, either.

Next up will be tanks made of plastic or something.

Hey, “zero” said that he was going to “remake” America. What is the first step in remaking something? Why, destroying or deconstructing the original of course.

right - and some field mouse - is also being “saved”....but our brave soldiers do not deserve better armor - their lives are that cheap?

Wasn’t it the Dems who kept saying President Bush would not send the right armored vehicles or personal body armor?

And what are they doing?

They are targeting another group of people who probably didn’t vote for ozero. If you look around, this admin has taken on a different tack. In the past dims attacked repub politicians and vice versa (sort of). This admin is attacking all the groups of Americans who are likely to vote repub or against ozero. He is out to punish those who do not support them. Military families, veterans, small businesses, evangelicals, catholics, pro lifers, investors, white people in general, homeschoolers and on and on. All of our past presidents have been president of the whole country. Even GWB had to make that case to the dim media. This expletive is no where close to being the president of all Americans.

“They cannot run squat - therefore - they should not run anything but OUT OF OUR GOVERNING BODIES.”

They probably cannot run that either, but I would like to see them try anyway. We would all be better off that way.
