发帖数: 29846 | 1 Obama Signs Military Death Benefits Bill WH Described as 'Not Necessary'
Late on October 10, President Obama signed the military death benefits bill
White House Spokesman Jay Carney described previously as "not necessary."
The bill passed in the Senate early on October 10 after being passed by the
House the day before.
According to Fox News, Carney claimed the bill was "not necessary" because a
charity--The Fisher House Foundation--had agreed to cover military death
benefits earlier this week.
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) "blasted" Carney's statement:
Now, we're learning that the president has taken his political obstinacy
to a new low and believes the legislation Congress has passed to right
this wrong is 'not necessary.' Not only is this legislation necessary, it's
the moral obligation of this nation and it's the spoken will of Congress
that we deliver immediate assistance to the families of fallen service
members.
