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."

Obama was very disturbed that he caught so much flak for it and dropped overnight to a 37% approval rating. Don’t mess with the military.

Surely he would have caught it on Al Jazeera America, no?

"The president was very disturbed to learn of this problem,"

"The president was very disturbed to learn HE GOT CAUGHT".

Reminds me of the DNC reversal on excluding “God and Israel” from the party platform in 2012 then shoving it back in their under the protest screams from the DNC delegates.

“Sorry I got caught!”

We may go Zimbabwe, but it will have to be after Obamao signs off on the UN Treaty on guns first, to gut that onerous Second Amendment. /s

When enough pressure piles up this guy does blink.

That Inn was reopened, the Amber Alert Site was unblocked and now this.

A treaty does not override the Constitution and Obama will learn that if he tries to enforce it.

Obama is indeed disturbed. It can be fixed if the senate and WH sign the bills.

He didn’t want the public to know about the House Bill to restore the benefit.

Another thing. Let’s take a look at the press conf yesterday, which was THE most divisive ever heard from a US president. It was pre-arranged with the third tier press wannabes, as to the questions and tone. Before the presser, Fox’s Jennifer Griffin reported that a question would most assuredly be asked about the five dead soldiers at Dover AFB. IT WAS NEVER ASKED. Which illuminates two important issues:

1) The question was taken off the table, which means ONE thing, Obama/WH was responsible. He can lie and say he didn’t know anything about it, but the simple fact it wasn’t asked tells us everything we need to know.

2) Most telling....Obama used every tool in his kit to demonize and blame the Republicans for everything. Does anyone believe for a second that Obama wouldn’t have excoriated the REPS with Dovergate, if he even remotely could have said it was their fault?

So Barry had to learn this from the “news media” like he learns everything that’s going on in his administration from the “news”? I’m calling Barbra Streisand on Barry.

Angry only at the fact he couldn’t get away with keeping it under wraps. That son of a whore couldn’t give two sh*ts about military people.

Good thing someone brought Obama a newspaper so he had a clue as to what his administration is doing...

I agree with you. I thought the Country would be able to survive one Term of the Hate-America-in-Chief, but two terms? The damage may be insurmountable.

What has it been, 3 or 4 days??? This stupid son of a communist whore has learned of his poll numbers....37.

The madness must end. Obama needs to immediately resign or be arrested....or both.
