Lots of slaps to the forehead at the Nobel Peace Price dinner table tonight!
President Barack Obama will ask Congress for an additional $33 billion to fight unpopular wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on top of a record $708 billion for the Defense Department next year, The Associated Press has learned — a request that could be an especially hard sell to some of the administration’s Democratic allies.
Say, where are all the lefties denouncing this, saying we could be paying for health care, solar panels, HDTVs for welfare queens, etc when you need them?
“The president’s going to have to make his case,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters last month at her year-end briefing.
In other words, Obama can go suck eggs. Though, Republicans and squishy, er, Moderate Democrats will support this. Until Queen Nancy throws even more pork and silly entitlement programs into the mix.
