Obama ordered top military brass: Agree with policy on gays or resign ........................................................................................ April 2, 2014 by Tom Tillison 364 Comments Photo by Debbie Leavitt – Coast Guard Compass Determined to end the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and allow gays to serve openly, President Obama told the heads of the five service branches in a meeting in 2010 to either support his effort or resign. In a video obtained by BuzzFeed, Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Robert Papp, who was at that meeting, can be seen speaking of the ultimatum put forth by Obama. “We were called into the Oval Office and President Obama looked all five service chiefs in the eye and said, ‘This is what I want to do.’ I cannot divulge everything he said to us, that’s private communications within the Oval Office, but if we didn’t agree with it — if any of us didn’t agree with it — we all had the opportunity to resign our commissions and go do other things,” Papp said. Air Force removes POW/MIA ‘Missing Man’ table because it includes a Bible President Bill Clinton first enacted the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in 1993. The uncompromising position taken by Obama contradicts remarks he made as a U.S. senator from Illinois that he wouldn’t make the issue “a litmus test” for his military leaders, according to The Buzz. “What I want are members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who are making decisions based on what strengthens our military and what is going to make us safer, not ideology,” Obama said at the time. But then, Obama has a tendency to say things that later turn out to be not so true. bizpacreview.com

Obama may not have the funds to staff the VA, but he sure had the cash to put solar panels over the parking lots.

On Memorial Day 2012 Obama closed the Vietnam Memorial Wall because he wanted his picture taken. Veterans, War Orphans, Widows, Brothers and Sisters were all denied what for some was a trip they could barely afford. In October of Last year, he Shut down the WWII Memorial on the National Mall to now ancient WWII Veterans, he also shut other Vets out from their Memorials. At the same time he had No Problem allowing a bunch of Illegal Aliens to hold a major rally on the Mall. The Parks Department said they couldn't deny the illegals their 1st Amendment right to Assemble.. In effect he treated the illegals like conquering hero's and our Veterans like a defeated army.. His appointment of Hanoi John Kerry to Secretary of defense was an intentional slap in the face.. Don't forget it wasn't long ago his friend, mentor and partner on the Foundation Boards Bill Ayers caused a commotion at an airport when 'undeserving' soldiers were allowed to board the plane first..
