Nothing short of ridiculous.

Obama's stash.

Hey Obama, since when are you concerned about spending our money? Only when it results in skimping on our military's strength and success? (Below is an excerpt of the transcript of Jake Tapper's interview of Obama - occurred 11/09/09):

Tapper: “You are about to make a final decision about the new strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan. What variables play into your decision making that would cause you to not just take General McChrystal’s recommendation and implement it?”

Obama: "These are not only eh, enormous burdens that we’re placing on our young men and women — and that’s the thing I think most about. It’s also expensive. Every thousand troops we spend that’s costing us a billion dollars. Uhh, if you send 40,000 troops you’re looking at maybe $50 billion per year above and beyond the costs that we’re already spending."

How can you have it both ways??? First the stimulus package, now the health care "reform" bill? Yet the "commander in chief" can't support our troops when they need more resources and manpower?
