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?

Such a disgusting POS. I can’t believe that so many stupid people voted him into office twice.
Cut his pay and make him pay for his vacations and we don’t need any cuts.

I didn’t want to “like” this so instead my opinion is that it stinks. A better cut would be a 20% cut for all the politicians from the president to congress to the cabinet
He’s a jerk! Can’t wait till he’s gone.
