Another chance to show his disdain for our military. Why not piss them off. The Dems never let their votes be counted anyway.

Do you know how much money is in the US Treasury? Nobody does. Senator Hatch has requested this information numerous time and they won’t tell him. Wonder why?

I'd contact my congressman about this, except my congressman is/was/ismaybe David Wu, who is quite literally insane.

When Mullen gets back on US soil, I'd like to see the GOP members of the Armed Services Committee bring him in and ask if he supports welfare recipients getting paid over his own troops fighting in theater.

The military made a mistake when they carried Obama’s water against the guy who wanted to burn a Koran.

Now Obama takes pleasure in using them like a little b*tch anytime he likes.

Another treasonous act by the Usurper...hopefully this will push the military to siding with the American Patriots against the foreign revolutionary anti-constitution Marxists when push comes to shove..

God bless and be with the men and women that serve and their families. How sad that he would give the people that need to have their wits about them something to fear!

Yes, Treasury Secretary Geithner will be resigning after August 2nd, so if the network news is looking for another host for a show like LeftBall...

Damn right.

At least Gates had the smarts to bug out from the commie freak in the WH, and was soon replaced by another com symp Panetta.

Mullen will burn bright for his complicity in implementing faggots in the military.

DADT was working just fine.

On the domestic front, a company called TransitTV is broadcasting this message on all the public buses. Dear Leader on an endless loop over the loudspeakers everywhere you go cannot be far behind.

No, I don’t know how much money is in the US Treasury, but “they” pay for everything else, and then some. Maybe they could “borrow” the money from some of those fat-cat banks WE bailed out.

But the welfare slugs - those who do nothing but sleep and hang out in their government housing all day - will still get their cell phone payments made on time.

I'm not a fan of Mullen but he was being honest here. He cannot guarantee where the cuts will be in the event of default. I would like to think that military pay would be prioritized and I'm sure the admiral agrees but its not up to him. I believe that I will get paid on the 15th and was willing to take the risk of urging my congressman not to cave. But like Mullen I don't know and can't guarantee that I will receive a check on the 15th.

What a leader. The ONLY way this subject should ever come up would be if he promised that before he let that happen no czar, cabinet member, member of congress or WH staff including him would lose all pay and benefits FIRST.

We knew this was coming because the DIMS always take hostages during “negotiations.”

At the very start of the debt debate, the House Pubbies should have pushed through a bill stating that the elderly and military would get their checks, no matter what, and dared the Senate and Zero to oppose it.

Yet another missed leadership opportunity by Boner.

Excellent questions. Hey, facts would mess with the hysteria, I guess.

PROPAGANDA ALERT.

If if wanted to demoralize troops, I’d threaten not to pay them. (The troops will be fed and sheltered, but they will now lie awake at night and wonder what will become of their families.) Then, I’d go home and get ready for a Birthday Party to end all parties, so that every corrupt, Marxist SOB in the country can be there to celebrate destoying the greatest democracy the world has ever know.

I probably won’t have many friends (or customers) left by the elections, but I told them last time that they were about to vote for a Marxist; this time, I’m going to get in their faces and ask them if they’re pleased with the result.
