The No. 1 issue that will defeat Obama...or should


This is a reflection of what Obama and his followers think about America and those who truly love it!!

This is just a small part of what our present government is doing to our nation.  

There’s an issue out there that needs to be made known to all Americans.

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.

The 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.”

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.


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.  Or do they care?
