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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I DO NOT AGREE WITH OBAMA,

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

Hmm. take note of where the manufacturing takes place.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/f-22-manu.htm

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.

re: vowing to veto any defense bill that funds more Lockheed Martin F-22 fighter jets

Uh, excuse me your Assholiness, you worked your dishonest butt off to elect a veto-proof Congress. You are no longer have the final word on what becomes law in this country!

I'm sure there are at least a few Republican lawmakers who would simply delight in helping overturn a veto from you!

So soon they forget.

I doubt he cares about this one way or another, and he’s using it to toy with people. Obambi just wants something to veto in order to look more “presidential.”

There’s a huge anti-F22 email campaign now from Ben (as in Ben & Jerry’s) Cohen’s TrueMajority/US Action. The Left is all exercised over this, so it’s something Obambi can use to placate them.

The Obamas and their two brats will spend more than that on sightseeing and shopping trips.

If they don’t build some of these really soon, the very last MILSPEC-capable copper & brass mill will go out of business, and the USA will no longer be able to make 100% of it’s own fighter jet parts.

Holy smoke - Ogabe sure is breaking out the veto pen bright and early. Bush’s first veto was in 2006, over federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.

FINE! Get the bastard on record with a veto. Wave that around under the noses of all Americans. Especially those out of work that are experienced participants in creating and manufacturing for our defense.

How will he know since he won’t actually read the bill?

Maybe the GOP can use some of the stimulus cash to buy themselves some testicles and matching spines, and call Il Douche on it. MAKE him veto the defense bill!

Make him veto it and then beat him over the head with it in 2012.

Obama sent a letter to the leaders of the Senate Armed Services Committee vowing to veto any defense bill that funds more Lockheed Martin F-22 fighter jets... he would veto bills written by a Democratic Congress... an amendment to strip $1.75 billion for seven additional F-22s from the Pentagon policy bill... wants to cap the F-22 fleet at 187 aircraft... Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) won narrow support for an amendment to authorize funds for more F-22s when the Armed Services Committee marked up the bill last month. Levin and McCain opposed it at the time.

Let him end the manufacturing of F-22’s. It’s time to move on up into space. Space fighters, bombers & lasers should be the goal for the next generation of air force technology.
