Obama spends hundreds of billions for stimulus but ignores stimulus for defense that would enhance national security, his priorities are not the priorities that our CIC should have.

[americanophile]

I agree with Obama, we don't need these expensive F-22s. The age of fighting wars through air power is over, it's all about the battleship now.

[Lazamataz]

Can there be any doubt, any more, that Obama is a traitor to America and is attempting to destroy us?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The catapult will rule. You just watch.

[cranked]

Does he actually know what a veto is? Of all the BS he has pushed for and allowed to pass, threatening a veto over additional F-22s is hypocritically ludicrous.

lol

[jazusamo]

Good one! :)

[jazusamo]

Short answer, NO!

Around 95,000 jobs tied to Raptor program, a lot of them in Republican Country in Georgia. That’ll teach them rednecks.

Hey child president - "Go for it show us your true colors". You and your party HATES ANYTHING MILITARY, and MILITARY RELATED. The only bills that child president will sign are those designed to fund STEALTH REPARATIONS.

[TLI]

The firm commitment to veto any defense bill containing funding for the F-22 puts Obama in a tough position: he would veto bills written by a Democratic Congress.

A veto would put 100% responsibility on his back. Let it go that route and see how The Øne handles actual accountability.

[jazusamo]

Agreed, it would be good to see Congress split from him on this.

I DO NOT AGREE WITH OBAMA,

WHY THE HELL DO THEY COST SO MUCH? THEY COST MORE THAN THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD!

That and all the govt bs that goes along with selling a high tech piece of equipment to a bunch of idiots.

[jveritas]

WOW, you are still stuck in World War I mentality and before.

[Celerity]

How Zero handles accountability will never be seen: MSM will protect him from ever having to be questioned.

Obama is doing what he has wanted, said he would do, and has proven he will do: Weaken America.

He has weakened America for Sharia to come in, for us to be taken over by the religion that he was raised by. I may _sound_ like a crackpot now, but I truly never wanted to say these things.

We can’t ignore the facts anymore. He is shutting down the USA for takeover. And while the Chinese will have a great amount of controlling interest in us, their control will be in economy - and Islam will take the rest (Islam doesn’t want the economy, just the bodies)

[jveritas]

Unless you were sarcastic :)

Hmm. take note of where the manufacturing takes place.

Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Washington and Florida.

More blue than red may be one reason.

In any case, there will be a split in the Democrat party as those in the red states will not be happy Zer0 doing away with constituents’ jobs there.
