Came across this yesterday as I was reading through Obama's "so-called"
Budget Cuts!![verymad] As a retired L.E. Officer and one who saw over ten
(10) of my brother officers shot down during my career, all I have to say is,.........Obama is one sorry individual! I cannot tell you HOW MUCH that program has helped the families of those slain officers and of the many I also don't know.:( God bless all of them!

OBAMA TO CUT SLAIN POLICE OFFICERS BENEFITS IN HALF- Where's Media Outrage?

In a hypocrisy sure to outrage, just as Attorney General Eric Holder gets ready to attend a ceremony to honor fallen police officers, the Obama Administration is proposing to cut almost in half a program that provides benefits to the families of police officers killed in the line of duty.
So much for the more loving, more caring president "we've been waiting for." So, wouldn't you think the Old Media would be braying at the hypocrisy here? Wouldn't you rather think that the Old Media would be up in arms about this one? Isn't this typically the type of story that would get them motivated to get their high dudgeon on? Guess not because it is nearly invisible in the media.
Obama intends to cut this benefit program for the families of slain police officers from the current 110 million dollars down to 60 million dollars!
Let's consider how this story would be reported if it were Bush proposing to cut survivor's benefits like this. Who cannot imagine that the media would be falling all over itself to scold Bush if he should have been the one to propose such steep cuts to benefits for the families of our fallen police officers?
