I heard her on O’Reilly the other day sputtering something about this being about equal pay in a combat zone.

Which is total BS because whether you’re Infantry or a Loggie...if you’re in a place like Afghanistan you’re getting paid for being in a combat zone.

What was even more disappointing was that Pete Hegseth didn’t refute her on that point.

This has nothing to do with equality...and it has everything to do with putting women into MOS’s where they shouldn’t be...and lowering the standards to make sure they get there.

President Obama is suggesting that House Republicans on the issue of gun control appear neither willing to work with him nor listen to the American public on the issue.

“The House Republican majority is made up mostly of members who are in sharply gerrymandered districts that are very safely Republican and may not feel compelled to pay attention to broad-based public opinion, because what they’re really concerned about is the opinions of their specific Republican constituencies,” the president said in an interview with The New Republic.

Obama also said he can get 50 percent of public support for many of his upcoming initiatives, but “I can’t get enough votes out of the House of Representatives to actually get something passed. … I think there is still shock on the part of some in the party that I won re-election.”

The president said he has a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that date back for generations.

He said that moving forward on the topic means understanding that the realities of guns in urban areas are very different from the realities of guns in rural areas.

He said it’s understandable that people are protective of their family traditions when it comes to hunting so “gun-control advocates also need to do “a little more listening than they do sometimes” in the debate.

The arrogance in those quotes leaves me speechless...
