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:
Do you hate Obama reflexively? This is a plan that has bipartisan support, in both houses of Congress.

Cut the white house pay.
obama should get a 100% cut in his retirement. Our military has done a lot more for our country than he ever has. He doesn’t deserve his pay now.
Please get rid of him before he completely ruins our country.
THIS IS BULL C**P
If this president currently residing in the white house I want to see his 20% cut in his retirement in his retirement along with cuts in all other law makers cuts in retirements straight across the board. and cuts in welfare and food stamps starting this year.
Disgusting!!!!!!!
Why doesn’t he cut his pay in half and also the politicians who give themselves raises at late night meetings!!!!! I am so sick of him.
Just maybe President Obama will stay in Afriaca.
That is an idiotic statement, Doris. The effing PENTAGON gets the MAJORITY PORTION of the Federal budget and the REPUBLICANS keep pushing for more. THEY PROFIT from military spending on HARDWARE and have repeatedly denied raises to the military PERSONNEL. Don’t blame the President for things over which he has NO CONTROL. Congress holds the purse strings and ALWAYS HAS.
