Despicable Me 3....Starring Barack Obama

UPDATE: The president finally did what he should have done 10 days ago. Used his pen to allow death benefits to be paid to the 26 families of fallen soldiers since the shut down began Oct.1st.

>> Despicable Me 3...Starring Barack Obama:
The president wins the most despicable person award for his non-action toward dead American soldiers returning home from war. Because of the government shutdown he caused, the families of soldiers killed in action will not receive from the government the death benefit payments they are entitled to. After the shutdown went into effect on October 1, Congress passed legislation allowing the military to be paid during the shutdown, but some loony tune in the Pentagon decided the death benefits were not included in the

bill.  Republicans argued they were, Democrats put on their "screw you" hats and said no. Instead, a charity picked up the tab for these families. Despicable, to be sure. The Pentagon and White House waffled for days through this saying there is a process to get it done. Excuse me...this is a president who circumvents laws, Congress and the Constitution with a stoke of the pen. An Executive Order from the president is all it takes. But, Obama is hell bent on insuring Americans 'feel the pain' of his self imposed shutdown even at the expense of the families who lost loved ones defending this country.

>> What?! The president blinked?? Appears so. Mr. Obama, who rudely turned his back on every GOP proposal to avoid a government shutdown and said never to negotiate has now said...'well, maybe.'
With his approval rating plummeting to an all time low 37 per cent and Americans thinking this isn't all Republicans doing and his back against the wall on the debt ceiling argument, he's now willing to talk. Obama had said no deals on the debt ceiling, but public pressure

Obama   and   Boehner

has said no hike without spending cuts. The GOP has put forward a plan. Read More: GOP Offers Debt Ceiling Hike..String Attached
So, will Obama REALLY sit down with House Speaker John Boehner & Co., or is this another ploy on the part of the president? How serious is he on wanting to end the stalemate.

>> Speaking of the debt, President 'Big Spender' Obama appears not to know the meaning of the word. Either that or he doesn't care that the debt of this country is Obama's second train wreck (Obamacare being his first). Digest this, if you will..Since he took office in January, 2009 Obama has increased this nation's debt an unbelievable 57 per cent! Read More: Debt Out Of Control

>> Jobs, Jobs, Jobs....seems the subject has gone away. The media is ignoring it and the Obama administration is ignoring it. despite the White House claims that things are getting better, weekly jobless claims jumped a whopping 25.5 per cent. Read More: Unemployment Line Increases
So much for his pledge after pledge after pledge to put people back to work...instead he's found a way to put more people lout of work, reduce the pay of those who do work and put almost half of the workforce on part-time status...it's called Obamacare.
