President Obama stated Monday that he would support a 20% pay reduction for retiring military personnel as well as redefining benefits for those that leave before achieving 20 year of service. So it’s only a matter of time before these recommendations are realized.
Obama has been cutting natural born citizens out of the military while simultaneously hiring illegal immigrants. He has also been ending highly successful military programs and allowing different components the military to simply degrade, prompting the Washington Times to state that Obama has our decimated our military, leaving the US only ‘marginally able’ to defend itself.
How does President Obama explain his intentions?
After the jump, see insights reported in the Washington Times article, including excerpts from Obama’s message to Congress:
I guess he needs the extra cash so Moooooochelle can take another million dollar vacation. Obama is the biggest joke for a president the world has ever known.
How can our elected people allow this to happen. McCain was one of the republicans that signed the cut. Maybe he really isn’t the hero after all. This is a shame and insult to every Military that has fought for our Freedom. They should cut their on retirement and add more to our heros.
And just in case anyone was concerned that this is exclusively an Obama administration plot: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/dec/23/rep-paul-ryan-defends-cuts-military-retirement/
Why does everyone get so worked up when anyone even suggests making changes to military pay or benefits, yet the same people just sit back and cheer when similar moves are made against federal employees? All serve this nation, just in different roles. Military retirement and Federal Civil Service retirement should be the same. No winners, no losers. Oh, wait, that’s not the American way.
we have to find some way to get money to give to Iran.

Obama doesnt NEED any money, thanks to George Soros…his FINANCIER AND BIOGRAPHY CREATOR….
Okay, I’ll admit that Donald Trump has a big ego, but to me, his self confidence and straight talk is exactly what we need in Washington. Can you even imagine a guy like that accepting a bad deal from another country, or letting a political group or lobby push him around? It’s just not going to happen. We all know that Donald knows exactly how to use the system in order to get what he wants. Wouldn’t you just love to see him with the power of the United States Government behind him, negotiatiating on our behalf? He says that he will get Mexico to pay for a wall along our southern border, and there’s no reason to doubt him. I can see him organizing huge infrastructure programs, building roads and bridges, and putting hundreds of thousands of Americans back to work in every state. He could replace Obamacare with a program which actually works, and negotiate with healthcare providers to not only keep the costs down, but which would also save Social Security and Medicare in the process. Or… we could elect Hillary Clinton, and end up bankrupt like Greece. The choice seems pretty obvious to me. A loudmouth financial genius, or Bill Clinton’s lying, horrible shrew of a wife. And since Hillary’s already been subpoenaed to testify in front of the RICOH committee in January, she may be finished anyway. I remember when the liberal Democrats were bashing Ronald Reagan as being unsuitable for the Presidency, and he turned out to be the greatest President of our lifetimes. I’m proud to say that I’m voting for Donald Trump, and I hope you’ll join us in making America great again.
