elkaholic Report post Posted September 28, 2012 OBUMMERS PLANS FOR OUR MIITARY AND VETERANS GOP COULD EXPLOIT TO VICTORY Exclusive: Joseph Farah identifies BHO policy proposal GOP could exploit to victory There’s an issue out there that can ensure Barack Obama is defeated in 2012. It’s not Obamacare It’s not his religious views. It’s not his commitment to socialist and anti-American causes. It’s not even the birth certificate and his eligibility issues. I believe the issue that will take Obama down if Republicans make it an issue is his administration’s proposed budget cuts for active-duty military personnel and military retirees – but not civilian defense workers. Do you get the picture? Obama has tipped his hand. He’s showing the entire country what he thinks about our military service people – the people who risk their lives for their country are worth less than civilian defense workers who push papers around in Washington. Chances are you don’t know much about this story. There’s a good reason for that. The Big Media don’t want you to know, because they recognize the political radioactivity it represents. This is the Death Star for Obama’s re-election campaign. If Americans know about this – Republicans, Democrats and independents all oppose him. Here are the details of the story broken by the intrepid Bill Gertz: “The Obama administration’s proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their health care, while leaving unionized civilian defense worker’ benefits untouched.” “Several congressional aides suggested the move is designed to increase the enrollment in Obamacare’s state-run insurance exchanges.” “The disparity in treatment between civilians and uniformed personnel is causing a backlash within the military that could undermine recruitment and retention.” “Significantly, the plan calls for increases between 30 percent to 79 percent in Tricare annual premiums for the first year. After that, the plan will impose five-year increases ranging from 94 percent to 345 percent – more than three times current levels.” Think about this – and imagine how you would campaign against Obama on just this one issue. U.S. military service people don’t get the equipment they need to do their jobs. They don’t have the manpower they need to complete their missions. Their families scrimp and sacrifice financially so they can serve their country. They risk their lives and give their lives for their country. But, according to the Obama administration, unionized civilian defense workers, sitting behind their comfortable desks in Washington, deserve better treatment than our heroes serving overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere. It’s almost unbelievable that Obama could serve up a slow-pitch softball like this for Republicans to knock out of the park. It’s even more unbelievable that none of them has. Which is THE REASON FOR THIS this column. Obama needs to pay for this. Whether or not he backs off, whether or not Congress throws his budget out the window, whether or not these cuts are ever enacted, Obama needs to pay a big political price for showing his cards. Republicans need to remind Americans every day that Obama is the guy who wants to cut medical care for soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen – all while preserving the goodies for Washington bureaucrats. Men and women who put their lives on the line, who risked their health and well-being, are treated like second-class citizens in Obama World. He signaled his absolute contempt for the U.S. military – not just the institution of the military, but the active-duty grunts on the front lines. This is an easy one for the American people to understand. So where are the Republicans? Where are the talk-show hosts? Where is the blogosphere chatter? Obama has stepped in something very smelly here. Why aren’t more Obama critics making hay of it? Can you understand it? Ben H. Willingham Association of Naval Aviation Bald Eagle Squadron P. O.

Snapshot Report post Posted September 29, 2012 I knew things were going to get worse, ever since Obama let it be known that he wanted to cut health insurance for military servicemen. Obama is "Dumbing down" this country. The man is an extreme menace. Wait and see what happens during his next term. I am horrified that the man will get re-elected. OUr guns and rights are next.

coues krazy Report post Posted September 29, 2012 Dont be so sure he will be re elected. The left is really good at making it seem they have already won, and that there is no point continuing to fight. Its a dog fight as they are neck and neck. I think the debates this coming week will tell alot. If he does get re elected, it tells where we stand as a country. It will mean people care more about getting help than helping themselves.

archerycrazy Report post Posted September 29, 2012 The Secretary of Defense has already begun throwing retirees under the bus. He ordered that the TriCarWest contract be awarded to Allied Health Care, the worst possible provider. My premiums have already gone up by over 11% and I expect another increase in April. If Obama is reelected, he will do everything he can to gut the 2nd Amendment. I will load every firearmt that I own and prepare to defend my right to possess them. "From my cold dead hands". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The liberal media lapdogs, are Obama's best firend and allie's.In the debates, Romney needs to make Obama look like the idiot he is. The liberal media does not hold Obama and the Dem's accountable for their actions, and call them out on it. If Romney sneezes, the media swarms on him like angry piranhas, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted September 30, 2012 I think we are in for another 12 years of Democrats in the White House unless the Republicans can offer up a strong ticket of electable nominees to run against Hillary after Obama's re-election. He won't be getting my vote. This is going to be a tight race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
