President Obama opposed passage of funding for veterans’ death benefits because the Fisher House Foundation has agreed to cover the costs, according to his spokesman.

So let me get this straight....he's vetoing this because the PRIVATE SECTOR is doing a better job of handling his duties as CIC?

Perhaps he should abdicate the rest.

No issues. Post away!!!

[AndyTheBear]

WTF? I thought that the Fischer House payments had already started.

Fischer House crossed him. His action is vindictive retribution

Is it time to mail them each a teabag?

WASHINGTON — President Obama on Thursday rejected a proposal from politically besieged House Republican leaders to extend the nation’s borrowing authority for six weeks because it would not also reopen the government. Yet both parties saw it as the first break in Republicans’ brinkmanship and a step toward a fiscal truce. (NY Times)

WTF? I thought that the Fisher House payments had already started.

Fisher House offered to advance the monies after discussions with DOD (presumably to locate the families). DOD agreed to repay Fisher House after the furlough. At least, that's my understanding from the earliest reports.

impeach? we impeached Clinton, impeachment doesn’t go far enough... how about arrest and try for treason?

Last POTUS to be arrested I think was Grant. But yes not even POTUS should be immune from arrest by local, state, or federal LEO's if in violation of the law.

[GOPJ]

WOW... what a jerk...

[philetus]

Is this a done deal? The linked article says: "President Obama is expected to reject a bill"

[Recompennation]

Dam mad indeed.

[ridesthemiles]

OBAMA LIES!!!

Does Fisher House have this in writing-—with witness signatures??

[FES0844]

Scary.

[silverleaf]

It would have to be some sorry group of soldiers who would permit themselves to be used by barack-cade obama for any photo ops on Veteran’s Day this year.

[Garvin]

It’s the Governments responsibility to pay not the Fisher House!

[SgtHooper]

FH WILL get stiffed!! The dems have stiffed so many entities during the elections, what is different about this?

[Jack Hammer]

Yet he manages to find 24 million dollars to give to Pakistani women.

[eaglescout1998]

It would appear that Obama has accepted the political reality of what a veto would do.
