Obama Threatens to Veto Troop Funding Bill

White House Threatens to Veto Troop Funding Bill
Obama< ( The White House) issued a veto threat on a bill that would keep the government from shutting down, without stating a single policy justification for its threatened veto. Since there are no policy reasons given for this veto threat, one can only conclude that the motivation is political: they want a government shutdown, because they believe Republicans will be blamed.

STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H.R. 1363 – Department of Defense and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act of 2011
(Rep. Rogers, R-Kentucky)
The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 1363, making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, and for other purposes. As the President stated on April 5, 2011, if negotiations are making significant progress, the Administration would support a short-term, clean Continuing Resolution to allow for enactment of a final bill.
For the past several weeks, the Administration has worked diligently and in good faith to find common ground on the shared goal of cutting spending. After giving the Congress more time by signing short-term extensions into law, the President believes that we need to put politics aside and work out our differences for a bill that covers the rest of the fiscal year. This bill is a distraction from the real work that would bring us closer to a reasonable compromise for funding the remainder of Fiscal Year 2011 and avert a disruptive Federal Government shutdown that would put the Nation’s economic recovery in jeopardy. The Administration will continue to work with the Congress to arrive at a compromise that will fund the Government for the remainder of the fiscal year in a way that does not undermine future growth and job creation and that averts a costly Government shutdown. It is critical that the Congress send a final bill to the President’s desk that provides certainty to our men and women in military uniform, their families, small businesses, homeowners, taxpayers, and all Americans. H.R. 1363 simply delays that critical final outcome.
If presented with this bill, the President will veto it.

Wild Thing’s comment……
He wants his abortion funding, and his EPA funding to kill more jobs and finish off the economy. If he doesn’t get his way, like the whiny jerk he is, then he will starve our troops.
This moron of a president would not go outside without his pants on, but he asking our troops to stop defending the sites they are stationed at! They should do just that and show the moron what happens when you stop paying people for their sevices. They are underpaid as it is.
It is NOT the republicans shutting down anything, but forcing the democrats to STOP ruining whats left of our republic nation.
