WASHINGTON (SR) - Many prominent Democrats are already expressing unhappiness with President Obama's announcement tonight to commit an expected 30,000 additional troops to the Afghanistan war.
Speaking on behalf of many in his party, Rep. David Obey (D-Wisconsin) called the move a "fool's errand," essentially saying the money could better be spent aborting babies in the proposed government health care plan than trying to cut causalities in a far-off war so unpopular with Democrats and Islamic jihadists.
"If we're being told we have to pay for healthcare we certainly pay for this effort as well," Obey said. He has introduced a bill to raise taxes on Americans making $150K and more to pay for the troop increase, and as a way to punish those having more money than average Democrat voters.
President Obama will address the nation tonight to formerly announce the troop increase.
My comments: Has a Democrat ever seen a war they didn't want to lose, or an individual (besides themselves) they didn't want poorer?
Let's enjoy a delicious margarita while we ponder how good it would feel to slap the unholy snot out of this Obey douche!
