President Stompyfoot won't restore death benefits

[Bro. Curtis]

Private funds coming in.

Pull quote....

...Republican aides in Congress said that they were drafting legislation to restore the death gratuity and that it could be put to a vote as early as Wednesday. The aides also said they believed that last week's law had covered the payment.
"We gave broad authority to the Department of Defense to pay all kinds of bills, including this," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Tuesday afternoon.

Since Andrea Mitchell broke this, Stompyfoot is unhappy. He's making the funds available now.

I just want to say that I really, really like the adjective "Stompyfoot" when describing the President.

That is all....

There are so many that fit, it's hard to include them all.
My personal fav is "ZERO", and "EMPTY SUIT" is a close 2nd.:tongue3:
