Obama Admin- No money for Arlington Cemetery wreaths

Wreaths Across America, the group responsible for placing wreaths on 230,000 headstones at Arlington National Cemetery, said Wednesday that 30,000 graves may have to forego the commemorative garland due to a lack of funding.
The project is needs $3.45 million to fund the $15 wreaths on each Arlington tombstone. As of Wednesday night, Wreaths Across America was $450,000 short.
Since 1992, the organization has worked to mark the graves of 700,000 veterans buried in 900 locations around the country. Its project at Arlington is by far the highest volume initiative, requiring more than 100 volunteers to assist in laying the wreaths on Saturday, Dec. 12. A WAA spokesman said a request for funding assistance from the VA was denied with no explanation.
We 100's of thousands of Vet who are forced to sleep on the streets and can go months before they are "permitted" to talk to a doctor and now we learn those who have died serving our country are worthy of a $15 Christmas wreath. But there is money to house and feed millions of illegals and Obama says we have to more for Syrians and we will bring more under out wings. To top it off Obama and over 360 staffers, friends and family members are preparing to party down in Paris where Obama has promised to use his executive to devote as much money as needed to fight climate change which is estimated to be in the trillions...all on bogus data compiled to redistribute our country's wealth to those Obama feels are more deserving. But we can't afford $15 wreaths who gave their lives.
Veteran lives matter!

Tool, if Obama had spent money on wreaths, you assholes would be here complaining that he was exploding the debt for flowers that would be gone in a week, leaving nothing to show for it.
Then you would be bitching about how he spent the money on dead soldiers instead of on the living ones.
Then you would be whining about Obama giving government money to a private organization.
There is nothing--NOTHING-- that Obama could do that you dumbfucks wouldn't criticize him for doing.
Fucking hypocrites...

Justme was a supporter of the Iraq war which pissed away trillions of dollars and thousands of troopers died for nothing.
And now Justme is bellyaching that Obama will not be using wreaths in the Cemetery???

Once again Clown see Obama I the subject line and he goes ape shit defending him.
Last week Sasha took Air Force 2 loaded with friends to Chicago to attend one of her friend's birthday party (the 8th party trip to Chicago this year). Days before her trip the Secret Service flew in armored vehicles and security teams to set up for her visit to the birthday party including expensive background checks on everyone attending. If Obama was concerning about spending he would explain to his little daughter that the millions of dollars the tax payers will have to shell out for her to attend the party is cost prohibitive. So when libtards excuse Obama for not stepping in an spending $45K for wreaths on the graves that gave their all to this country, their excuse doesn't hold water.
If Obama cared about our military members he would have ordered the purchase of the wreaths, only the most liberal of the libtards would ever complain about that expenditure. He has no issue ordering the expenditure of billions for illegals.
Shame on you Clown, you're blinded by your love of Obama. Even you know Obama should have done the right thing and stepped up and done the right thing, but he's probably to busy planning his two week Hawaiian vacation, he needs that 45K to have a jet fly his dog over.

The fact is libtards had no problem with Obama spending 45K to transport his dog on a separate jet but would go ape shit if Obama were to authorize the 45K needed to provide wreaths for our fallen troops' grave sites. The fact that Obama didn't feel spending the 45K for the wreaths was a wise expenditure of tax money is very telling of where his priorities are. Just watch how many billions Obama commits in Paris, funds that Congress hasn't approved, he's do it!
