Obama Threatens to Close Key Air Force Base to Coerce Healthcare Vote

Written By : Dave Blount

Chicago politics now guides our national security. From The Weekly Standard’s blog:

Twenty Republican senators have requested that the Senate Armed Services Committee launch an investigation into reports that the Obama White House threatened to close Nebraska’s Offutt Air Force base unless Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson fell into line on health care. Those reports first appeared on this blog. In the letter to Senators Levin and McCain, the committee chairman and ranking member, the 20 ask that “a hearing be held as to whether the BRAC process has been compromised.”

Nelson and the White House unsurprisingly deny everything. But TWS is standing by its story. Fortunately the threat — like so much coming out of the Obamination Administration — is empty and fake:

The Base Realignment and Closure Process won’t get started again for a couple of years, and Offutt is a nearly irreplaceable piece of America’s national security infrastructure.

Offutt Air Force is the headquarters of United States Strategic Command, the heart of American military security. But then, if Chairman Zero could care any less about our national security, it wouldn’t take him three months to respond to urgent requests for reinforcements in Afghanistan.

Offutt Air Force is the headquarters of United States Strategic Command, the heart of American military security.

Not to mention a key aspect of the Nebraskan economy, employing about 10,000 military and government workers.

Apparently, the only thing the Obamessiah cares less about than our national security, is creating or saving American jobs.

IMPEACH OBAMA.

Yes, I know, snowball’s chance in hell, but this is definitely grounds. Abuse of power.

Seems to me there needs to be some actual PROOF here, which there is none. Although the title of the post is then dishonest, which is not surprising.

Is someone keeping score of the illegal, unconstitutional and treasonous actions that Obama and his minions have done? I thought about doing this, but I can’t remember it all from the last 11 1/2 months.

Impeach jail and prosecute Obama!

Seems to me there needs to be some actual READING here.

Exactly what part of “launch an investigation” and “a hearing [to] be held” do you not understand?

Oh wait, I forgot. Van Helsing posted this, therefore you must reflexively oppose it.

Seriously D-Vega, get some help. This thing you have with Van Helsing is not healthy.
D-Vega

Uh, samurai, what is the title of the post?

Okay. You have your answer ready?

Now, where is the proof of the assertion, that is, Obama is threatening to close a base for political reasons?

Where is that? Can you point out that proof?

Otherwise, this is an unfounded allegation, and therefore the title is dishonest. Meaning: LIE.

Uh, samurai, what is the title of the post?

Uh, D-Vega, what is the content of the post?

Do you even realize how stupid and pathetic you look right now? You breezed right past the actual content of this post and focused solely on two things: (1) Van Helsing wrote it, and (2) the title offends you.

Really D-Vega, what is your problem here? Do you think most people will be as stupid as you and not bother to actually READ the article?
D-Vega

The title doesn’t offend me, mighty. The title is a lie.

Here is the title:

Obama Threatens to Close Key Air Force Base to Coerce Healthcare Vote

There is no proof of any of that.

Now, if you said “Senators want investigation in threat allegation.” that would be what we call in the non-hack, legitimate world “honesty”.

Maybe Mr. Hawkins should change the name of the site to “Right Wing Speculation”, or “What will Vanna pull out of his ass this week”?

So naive. Welcome to Chicago politics, vega. If you don’t like it, blame the people responsible. Don’t try to explain it away by killing the messenger and trying to claim it’s a lie when it fits the pattern of everything Obama and his thugs have done so far.

Ask the auto dealers arbitrarily put out of business by Obama how credible this story is.
D-Vega

What messenger, Mike?

Oh, you mean the rumor-mill?
D-Vega

uh oh!

Nelson has rejected the abortion compromise. I guess that means this base will close very soon, huh?
D-Vega

I mean, this is Chicago politics, right? That means there will be swift retaliation for calling the threat from the Grand, High, Exulted, Mystic Ruler of the Obama-Man, right?

This guy Nelson is in big, big trouble.

You sure sound offended to me. I can just see you lying on the ground pounding your fists and kicking your feet like a small child who’s been told he can’t have a piece of candy.

Once again, you have COMPLETELY IGNORED the content of this post. NOT ONCE have you even ATTEMPTED to address it. All you’ve done is complain about that mean ol’ Van Helsing and emit a high-pitched whine.

So that’s where the noise was coming from. I thought it was a cat in a meat grinder.

Don’t worry, if the Republicans were suspect of closing the base, ol’ Vega would be in front of the line demanding the investigation.

Vega always deflects when he’s scared. He won’t address the issue of the article, he’ll merely focus on the title alone.

You mean, like every promise Obama has made?

Has he lowered the sea levels yet?
