Obama said: “if you don’t go along with me to close Guantanamo, I’m going to veto the NDAA.”
So he did. The president decided not to fund our warriors. Screw our military people, said Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama vetoes $612 billion defense bill in rebuke to GOP
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama vetoed a sweeping $612 billion defense policy bill Wednesday in a rebuke to congressional Republicans, and insisted they send him a better version that doesn’t tie his hands on some of his top priorities.
In an unusual Oval Office ceremony, Obama praised the bill for ensuring the military stays funded and making improvements on armed forces retirement and cybersecurity. Yet he pointedly accused Republicans of resorting to “gimmicks” and prohibiting other changes needed to address modern security threats.
“Unfortunately, it falls woefully short,” Obama said. “I’m going to be sending it back to Congress, and my message to them is very simple: Let’s do this right.”
But here’s the real truth regarding Mr Obama’s veto of the bill:
Obama also rejects the bill as written due to provisions making it harder for him to transfer suspected terror detainees out of the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a key campaign promise that Obama is hard-pressed to fulfill before his term ends. The White House has also expressed concerns over provisions preventing military base closures and funding equipment beyond what the military says it needs.
While Hillary Clinton lied her ass off under oath at the Benghazi hearing Thursday, clearly admitting she ignored over SIX HUNDRED emails begging her office for additional security in Benghazi, the US lost the first soldier to ISIS. He died in Iraq, killed when US and Kurdish forces met. I thought we weren’t fighting in Iraq. I thought Barack Hussein Obama pulled our fighting forces out of Iraq. He said he had. Now the vanguard Obama helped to create, ISIS, has killed its first US soldier. ISIS couldn’t be happier.
Finally, 93% of beltway journalists are self-identified as Demorats, by the way. They think Obama is performing swimmingly and, additionally, that he himself isn’t biased. Obama is right to shut down the military and give his finger to soldiers who served.
That’s why the news is so terribly unbiased.
Huh. Imagine that.

The shame of it all is that there are not enough votes in congress to overturn this veto. Too many Marxists in the house and senate to get it done. Should tell all in the military what our august government thinks of them. Glad I am not on active duty at this time. I despise Obama and his minions.
Too many Marxists, and too many with a personal agenda to push forward. Too many rat-bastards, I say.
The sooner this lying Kenyan Communist is out of office the better.
We are going to have to eat a few shit sandwiches though.
Yep, and I bought a huge jar of mustard to help…
