Barack Obama had Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen fly to Afghanistan this weekend to tell the troops serving there that their families may not get paid if a debt agreement is not reached. Admiral Mullen was meeting with US troops serving in southern Afghanistan.
Obama plays politics with the troops serving in harm’s way. NICE!
This really is the most outrageous political act this President has ever done as far as I am concerned.
The Dems have tried to scare Seniors in to thinking they won't be getting SSI checks or medicare benefits, and scaring the poor that medicaid will be cut out of their lives.
It's absolute BULLSH*T! That WON'T happen. And the Dems know it!
I might be wrong here, but I don't think the President has this authority to cut off payments to any of these programs, let along the military.
Only congress can.
