66% of Vets Disapprove of Obama

Vet-memorial

Apparently slashing the military budget, cutting benefits for vets and running the country into the ground isn’t as big of a winner with vets as it is in Chicago, New York and D.C.

Sixty-six percent of veterans disapprove of President Obama’s handling of his job, according to a new poll conducted for Concerned Veterans for America, a veterans’ advocacy organization. The survey finds a sour mood among vets over the direction of the country generally — 68 percent think it is on the wrong track — and Obamacare specifically. More than 60 percent disapprove of the health-care law, and almost half believe it will be worse than VA health care. Seventy-three percent consider the national debt the greatest threat to the country’s national security.

Worse than the VA is really saying something.

In addition to the concern over spending and the debt, nearly three-quarters of veterans and members of the military (73%) agree with former member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen’s statement that our national debt is “the greatest threat to our National Security.”

There is widespread awareness of the backlog of claims at the Department of Veterans Affairs (66% of veterans/members of the military have seen, read, or heard about the backlog), and nearly one- quarter (22%) report having experienced the backlog.  Of those who have experienced the backlog, 58% report currently having a backlogged claim. Those who have experienced the backlog report it lasting at least 7 months (60%), with 36% saying it lasted more than one year.

And they expect ObamaCare to be even worse.

    China forced Ecuador to sell land and resources to repay Ecuadorian government debt to China.

    The F_____crat party & RINOs keep running up our national debt. Maybe Harry Reid, Pelosi & Obama come up with an ideal to sell BLM land and national parks to retire American debt?

  • Gee

    Only 66%? Last I heard over 90% of the current military voted against Odumba

      keep in mind obammy has been dumping people who refuse to adhere to his agenda. getting rid of high ranking officers, making sure those who replace them are willing to go after Christians and patriots and anyone who professes belief in the Constitution as written not as interpreted (incorrectly also) by obammy. so easily 24% are no longer ACTIVE military. start asking VETERANS, easily an additional 24% are those who were dumped since obammy took office.

    Veterans are more aware of what will happen when other people’s money runs out because they have been living it for the past couple of years. Too bad we’re all in the same sinking boat, otherwise we might be able to get a small amount of satisfaction watching the moron Left try to get by without their government pacifier when the last productive soul finally says, “screw it”.

      again the only way for decent people to have a country and a decent life is for a state like Texas to declare themselves a nation and then expand it when others want to join. they could do away with all affirmative action and stop rewarding welfare hoes for overbreeding, that would eliminate most of the thug murdering blacks, i

    No longer will our dedicated professional soldiers enable America to live in sweet peaceful liberty.
    Now, our Commander-in-Chief, sworn to defend our country against all enemies, can shirk this Constitutional responsibility as well.
    Clean house of all trained armed members of the military who dared to believe in their sworn oath to God and Country!

    OPERATION AMERICAN SPRING – beginning on May 16th, 2014. We need to get as many Veterans to DC on May 16th as possible. Veterans, rally your families and friends to join you in DC. We want the following to resign: Obama, Biden, Holder, Boehner, McConnell, Pelosi and Reid. I might like adding Chief Justice Roberts for his insane move that gave us the Affordable Care Act (unaffordable). This will be the largest demonstration to ever descend upon the sewer we call Washington, DC.
