Since January Obama has thrown out executive orders to pay for abortions over seas. He has gone on several International US apology tours, taken over much of the banking industry and auto industry, while planning to cram Government health care down our throats as soon as he can with this leftist congress.

What Obama has not done, which has escaped the entire media is in a time of ongoing war he has not appointed the person who traditionally controls all health policies, decisions and medical care for returning vets and their families, The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs. The shocking thing is that in a time of war we have injured military being flown home for care month after month. Obama doesn’t apparently think it is a critical priority to have leadership in this post! No appointed leadership for the health issues of our military and families??? Shame on our President. He has plenty of time to have parties in the white house with all kinds of stars. He has time to bow down to the Saudi King, kiss up to the Muslim world. He has time to campaign for gubernatorial races and do endless campaigning for himself, but he has no time to do his duty and appoint an Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs since he has been in office. This is an unforgivable stall in a time of war but it is not hard to see Obamas lack of experience and US loyalty as commander in Chief. He is still stalling regarding General McChrystal’s request for 40,000 more troops in early October. It was shared with the President that there was a surge like strategy needed such as was done and orchestrated in 2007 by General Petraeus, dramatically changing things for the better in Iraq. There have been 43 more troop deaths since McChrystal first requested more troops in Afghanistan. Vice President Biden says he is against any more troops going in. Now for the irrelevant carrot. Obama has decided to send 13,000 medical, lawyers, engineer type troops to Afghanistan but as of yet, is ignoring his Generals’ timely and needed request for infantry. Back to the big story Why is the media asleep about President Obama not appointing an Assistant Secretary of Defense of Health Affairs? This is shameful, stupid and betraying our military and families in a time of war. Where are the big dogs in media in covering this story? Just last night on my show I interviewed a very concerned Van Hipp, former Deputy Secretary of the Army and President of American Defense International. He exposed Obama not appointing this position and broke this news on my show. We were both in wonder as to the lack of coverage of this in the media. We should all be marching on Washington and screaming our lungs out! This is not the kind of leadership we need from our Commander and Chief and not how we treat our military and families!
