A "very disturbed" President Obama has ordered his top aides to restore death benefits today for families of military service members killed in action.

"The president was very disturbed to learn of this problem," said White House press secretary Jay Carney. "The president expects this to be fixed today. He was not pleased."

And he’s also getting insanely UGLIER to look at...his skinny face and bigger looking ears, and those purple lips and big black moles on his face....now all he needs is a big, black fly or two on his face. The devil IS indeed showing his horns. Evil piece of crap...I wonder if he also smells like the rotting garbage that he is.

The so called president is petulant in punishing the People and those whom they hold dear.

What I would give to see him hauled out onto the the White Hut lawn and given a sound shellacking.

Of the two opinions stated, I think the last five years have shown that the second — a detached president who delegates duties to people chosen more for their ideological agreement than for their managerial competence and experience — is more likely to be true.

While appointing people based on ideology rather than proven skills is not unheard of on our side of the aisle either, let's not forget that conservative ideologues tend to be people who have run their own businesses or managed somebody else’s business before they entered government.

That means they may not have a lot of governmental experience, but they often do have a great deal of managerial experience.

That isn't the case on the Democratic side of the aisle.

That, Marron, is the point I think we need to keep driving home.

The Pay Our Military Act was signed into Federal Law by Obama on 9-30-2013.

Obama KNEW that death benefits were covered when he signed the bill into Law on 9-30-2013 !

This documents that Commander in Chief Obama CHOSE to punish, after death,” those who had given their last full measure of devotion” by dictating that Funeral Expenses be denied to HIS dead Warriors.

Obama has thus shown himself to be a ghoulish tyrant who is more than willing to inflict maximum pain “on his own people,” to borrow an expression that Obama used recently against his fellow tyrant in Syria.

Please post on this thread the hotlinks to any news articles on the 26 slain Warriors that Obama has refused to pay funeral expenses for, prior to Obama’s yesterday’s CYA “legal” action.

Obama must be held accountable for this ghoulish Dereliction of Duty as the Commander in Chief.

as if...he wasnt aware of this BEFORE the fact????


Pre emptive back tracking before the Republican Appropriations Bill to restore Death Benefits funding that passed both House and Senate with 100% approval votes hits his desk for signing or veto. Either way he is screwed
