61. Do you actually know anything about how the funding is packaged for votes in Congress?
If so, please tell me how he was to stop funding for combat operations without ALSO stopping funding for VETERANS Services and for the support of Military Families.

Do you actually think they vote for each thing one at a time? You need to study up on how this country is run. The money is voted for, up or down, in HUGE BLOCKS that fund ALL KINDS OF STUFF. If you are against one thing you are against all of it. Why do you think they haven't been able to stop the funding - because to do so they would have to let Veterans go without medical services and Military Families without health care and food.

Your opinion of Obama is founded on a lack of concrete information about how Congress works.
