Obama Administration Operating On Full Moron – Confirmed
Major Update: The Moron-in-Chief has spoken – PUNISH THE TROOPS!:
Really? Will Obama really argue that he can’t abide a one-week CR so much that he’s willing to shut down the government and leave the troops without income for an indeterminate amount of time? This statement concedes that this bill takes the troops out of the line of fire in the budget debate.
Really, the Leader of the Left is now on hyper-moron – end update
This is the 3rd in a series of posts about the Obama Administration’s idiotic plan to financially starve the men and women of our military in a viscous political ploy to use our military as sacrificial lambs in the government shutdown game of chicken (first post and second post). As I noted at the end of the second post, we will have plenty of examples on why this is a crass political decision by the Empire-Thinking White House, as we learn which services these morons consider ‘essential’.
The NY Times provides us with our first hint of the pure political calculation behind team Obama’s petulant mindset:
The I.R.S. plans to keep enough people on hand to cash incoming checks because the government needs the money.
Seems paying the White House staff will not be a problem. Taking tax payer money is more important than making sure our military and their families are ‘safe’.
The government would continue to make Social Security payments to the 53 million beneficiaries.
So we can pay seniors, but we can’t pay our troops? Seems Emperor Obama knows seniors vote reliably. Crass.
Post offices would maintain their regular hours and mail delivery would continue
Yeah, like getting pounds of useless junk mail a day is more important than our military and their families? There is nothing the Post Office does that cannot be handled now with a scanner and the internet. Another bow to unions over soldiers.
Bank examiners will continue to examine, federal deposit insurance will remain in place and the agency’s consumer response center, which handles inquiries and complaints about banking institutions, will continue to field calls.
Yeah, banking complaints are essential, just not feeding and housing military families? Another bow to the Wall Street types who roam the halls of the Emperor’s White House.
Trust me folks, lots more coming. Once a shutdown happens you will be shocked at what is more important than our military and their families.
BTW, the GOP has a bill ready to go that delays the shutdown one week and pays the troops. Reid and Obama have rejected it.
Confirmed – The White House is operating on full moron.
They also are not going to continue to process tax returns. So anyone who filed by paper and is still expecting a return, the payment will be delayed. Now they are not only spending our money irresponsibly, they are holding our money hostage.
Reid just said that he’s rejecting the troop payment because the new stopgap CR has the abortion rider.
Good grief! The House GOP removed that rider!
Wow – Obama is now saying that if Congress passes funding for the troops, but not everything else that Obama wants –
then Obama will veto pay for the troops!!!!
Is this just a bluff? CALL THAT BLUFF, BOEHNER! CALL IT!!!
The Obama Administration is probably the best approximation we will ever get of what life would have been like if the USSR had won the Cold War.
Gates is saying that if a shutdown happens troops will receive 1/2 of their pay on the 15th and nothing after that until funding is restored and then back payments will occur.
He is unclear as to if that will be 1/2 of base pay or 1/2 of the full normal check including allowances and such.
If you file your returns electronically they can still be submitted but like a paper return it will be delayed if you even are able to file since nobody will be able to release the approval due to lack of funding.
OH MY IF THIS IS TRUE……..
BREAKING: Computer Error Gives Prosser 7,381 More Votes, Almost Certain Victory
As I predicted yesterday. See latest post
You didn’t predict that many votes, didn’t you?
I predicted it could shift by +/- 14,776 votes.
So yes, I did predict the unofficial count would be lucky to be accurate to +/- 1%.
I’ll hand it to you, AJ – after the Franken debacle, I never believed a turn like this was possible.
In an email to my New Berlin cousins, I said “Nice Second Effort, Guys! Talk about follow through!”
