President Obama took his case for ending the sequester to hundreds of disabled veterans Saturday, saying he protected their benefits from the “reckless” cuts to the federal budget but suggesting next year might be different. “It’s hurting our military. I made it clear that your veteran’s benefits are exempt from this year’s sequester,” the president said to the applause of hundreds at the Disabled American Veterans’ convention in Orlando, Fla. “But I want to tell you going forward the best way to protect the VA care you have earned is to get rid of this sequester altogether.” The president but the blame squarely on Congress, which returns in about four weeks to work on a new federal budget and increasing the federal debt limit. “We’ve got these reckless, across-the-board budget cuts called the sequester that are hitting a lot of folks hard,” Obama said. “Congress needs to come together and agree on a responsible plan that reduces our deficit and keeps our promises to our veterans and keeps our promises to future generations.”So, Mr. President, just who in the hell came up with the sequestration racket in the first place? Oops, you say it was forced upon you by recalcitrant Republicans? And just who in the hell is behind the idea of sending billions of precious—but devalued—American dollars to buoy the Muslim brother hood in Egypt? And who in the hell just wasted $100 million to send the First Family on a boondoggle to Mother Africa? How many billions will your idiotic “Amnesty for votes” campaign cost American taxpayers? Based on common sense and American fairness values—commodities to which you obviously do not subscribe—it would seem that your spending priorities are dead wrong for America! AS Always! Let’s stop the stupid attack on worthy veterans and instead cut wasteful spending on Islam and Mexican illegal aliens! Sir!
