CNS News ^ | 10/10/13 | Susan Jones

(CNSNews.com) - President Obama was "very disturbed" to learn that the Defense Department would not pay death benefits to the families of fallen soldiers, a White House spokesman said Wednesday. But if the Defense Department knew this several weeks ago, why didn't the president? When did President Obama learn about the problem?

White House spokesman Jay Carney was asked that question at least six times on Wednesday, but he wouldn't or couldn't say.

"The White House is not accountable to the little people. And that means you."

Does anyone really believe they are more likely to get an answer to that than any answers on Benghazi or the IRS? This pos, president poseur couldn’t come up with two straight answers in a row.

Obama has hundreds of evil little freaks like Jay Carney working for him. It was one of them doing this. He was sure he hit a home run. Lay blame on the Obama White House. Obama is too freakin lazy to be bothered with the details. He’s out shooting hoops and such with Reggie

I’m waiting for Chuck Hagel to resign. Right after Eric Holder, Susan Rice, IRS officials and all the other corrupt criminals in DC resign.

“Obama has hundreds of evil little freaks like Jay Carney working for him. It was one of them doing this.”

Right. I believe Obama instructed his minions to make this as painful as possible for the American people. The minions are just using their imaginations and feeling like they have the blessing from their boss.

Amazing! Two days ago he was saying he’d checked and the law wouldn’t permit him to, now he’s claiming nobody ever told him and it’s all DOD’s fault. Fact is, the White House has discretionary funds.. or at least they did back when American government had a budget.

Whether he wants to be or not, Obama is the Commander In Chief. It’s in the job description. If he didn’t want to do the job, why did he work so hard to get it? Twice?

Jay and Hussein Obama both need to stop this ‘blame Republican bull shit’ NOW..

voters and Americans are tired of this story and in fact tired of this Administration.

Never has the office of President acted so careless with words as Hussein and his thugs..they are disgraceful and it needs to clean up its act.

every day I despise this man more and more...

It doesn't matter. It's his job to know, as Commander in Chief. Part of his job every day should be to review reports of deaths in the service of the US and write personal notes or make calls to the loved ones.

It's dereliction of duty, whether Obama knew or didn't know. JMHO

I trust NOTHING that comes out of the " SPITE HOUSE "

MSNBC is the official orifice and sphincter of the "SPITE HOUSE "

Jay Carney is just a carnival act meant to delay official government responses until they can test the polls to see if a response can be swallowed.
