What a horrible Commander in Chief.
Barack Obama warned disabled veterans today that the sequester (his idea) may affect their benefits.
Then he flew off to Marthas Vineyard for a lavish week-long vacation.
The AP reported:
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.
Its hurting our military. I made it clear that your veterans benefits are exempt from this years 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.
Weve 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.
The cuts went into effect in March after Congress and the White House failed to agree on a more balanced plan to cut government spending.
Then he jetted off to Marthas Vineyard.
