Obama: Military Will See Disruption in Pay if Congress Doesn’t Raise Debt Ceiling, Pass Budget
The Blaze ^ | 21 September, 2013 | Oliver Darcy

U.S. military personnel will face a disruption in pay if Congress doesn’t quickly pass a budget and raise the debt ceiling, President Barack Obama warned in his weekly address Saturday.

“The government will shut down. So will many services the American people will expect,” Obama said, speaking of the consequences he says the country will suffer if Congress can’t come to an agreement on a continuing resolution bill. “Military personnel, including those deployed overseas, won’t get their paychecks on time.”

On Friday, the House stripped funding for the president’s landmark healthcare law from a continuing resolution bill to fund the government. If Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reinserts the funding when the bill reaches the Senate, which he most likely will, some Republicans have threatened filibuster it.

And no more free obama phones, free housing, free food, free medical care, free education, free sports, free transportation, or Obama cash for those who won’t work - paid for by the other half, forced to work, and made to give up half of the fruits of their labor, in the form of burdensome taxes, to pay for it all!

Well, I guess some folks just won’t get paid for awhile. The ghetto rats being amongst them.

It’s the right time, and the right fight.

“BTW, isn’t this how military coups get their start?”

Interesting point. I guess dear leader isn’t thinking about that.

Congress just voted to raise the debt ceiling. The ball is in Harry Reid and Obama’s court.

They think that just because America elected them that we are all stupid.

Bacially this child is saying if he doesn’t get his way, he is going to hurt us and destroy the country. Then again, if you leave him to do as he pleases, he punishes us and destroys the country.

Wake up America. We have a Tyrant on our hands.

Didn’t they install solar panels on the WH roof recently? And, of course, solar panel advocates know that the sun always shines 24/7 so they should have plenty of electricity. Of course if they wanted to make doubly sure they have electricity they could install some turbines on the WH lawn - Heaven knows there is plenty of hot air in DC to ensure they are operational 24/7.

“O always goes after the military first. “

Somebody published a poster of a terrified dog with a gun to its head. The caption read, “Give us our funding or the dog gets it!”

Further proof that the left doesn’t care about what the majority of the public wants. They want control of every facet of our lives and this is their best chance to take over the healthcare industry, and more importantly to them, the revenues that come with it. Sadly, millions of Americans look at the medical insurance companies as big, evil corporations who need to be taken down. Welcome the Democrats and their promises of universal healthcare and doing away with the “big business” insurance companies. Exactly what the low info idiots want to hear.

So he’ll stiff our own troops, but he’ll find the money to arm the Muslim Brotherhood. Got it.

Really? My Son in law hasn’t been paid for TWO MONTHS. They are living off savings and probably some credit. I hope his back pay is paid up before Obama shuts down pay for HIS military. If they don’t get paid, he owns it.

He always sticks it to the military and the elderly, when they reduce spending money.

The first and most important duty of the federal government, according to the Constitution, is to defend the nation from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Naturally, that is the first thing the Leftist enemies of freedom find to cut, as they already have done in the sequester. Their most important duty is to get re-elected by giving out taxpayer-funded freebies to their voting base.

So we take down the media. One advertiser at a time. We pick one, boycott it and once they pull their advertising, it is off to the next.

See what we did for Chik Fil A? That’s our power, yet we only use it when the left threatens us. It is time to go on the offensive.

They probably have all sorts of solar panels, backup supplies, and probably even have their own power station.

Just messing around like an idiot again lol.

Fortunately Moosie Obama's vacation schedule will not be impacted.

And there will be no interruption to her regular deliveries of truffles, Kobe steaks and lobster.

Makes one proud to be an American Obamican, doesn't it?
