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."

"This just proves to the public that he can change any of these arbitrary closings and cuts that he wants to."

Right on, and the GOP should scream this from the rooftops. Get the old folks that were evicted from their permanent residences at Lake Mead on camera, too, along with some other horror stories. John Boehner should hammer the deliberate plan to hurt people. Put the Ranger and TSA quotes that have been reported in GOP statements, as well.

Yup, there is no way that DOD made a decision like this without Bath House Barry being informed.

Zero and his carnival clown mouthpiece, once again are spouting lies and crap from both ends of his colon.

The New York Times reported that SecDef stated that DOD and DOJ consulted with the White House Legal staff before undertaking the withholding of the funds.

Presumably the WH was also aware that the families of the fallen should be notified via twitter.

How's that for a dignified message for the bereaved families struggling to get to Dover AFB to collect the remains of their loved ones. IIRC that flight was scheduled to land today! Fortunately Ken Fisher, CEO of the Fisher Houses, stepped up to the plate and offered a full advance on the $100k immediately.

.If you could use a 3-D printer to turn that image into a pinata, might make buck$.

BS on Carney! Obama was disturbed he HAD to restore them.

He only did it because of the public relations nightmare. Now, is that cynicism or what?

Isn’t he the so-called “Commander in Chief”? How could he not have known? And if he didn’t, why not?

Why did he have to find out from the press what his own people were doing?

Wasn’t anyone in DOD able to communicate through the chain of command what was being done?

Fake anger.

*** " Absolutely. His culpability in cherry picking closings and magical openings is exposed. " ***

Ohhh the Irony , it wasn't not so long ago that Dingle Harry Reid said the very same thing about the House does not get to " Cherry Pick " ..... in other words ? Obama and I Dingle Harry Reid reserve the right to get to " Cherry Pick " .

This thought, this insight needs to be send to Rush, Mark Levin, all the Republicans in Congress, the New Media.


Yeah Harry Reid, you get to " Cherry Pick " dingle berries of your own desire of Obamacare.

Notice 0bama didn’t blame the Pentagon. He knows if he did the email from the White House telling them to not pay would end up in the public domain.

Mygosh, did he even apologize on behalf of his administration?

A real president would be in his office monitoring what's going on, full time, and making wise decisions.
