IF Obama REALLY wanted to help the homeless, he would let some of them move into the White House with him... They have hundreds of rooms there, and homeless people all over DC... THAT would be a statement! He's not helping anyone, he's pathetic...

Homeless vet? That is disturbing on every level. There are countless active duty on food stamps! We should be ashamed as a country. We should be ashamed as human beings for allowing a system so flawed that the very selfless individuals that fight for the national sovereignty are being victimized.

haha what a joke! you fools! Obama signed the NDAA (national defence authorization act) in secret without approval of congress on new years, this act makes it clear that if anybody deems a threat to national security, the millitary may detain them without any due process (trial) and it also allows for citizens to be drafted into labor camps if they choose too. wake up motherfuckers

Just shows you how inefficient the government is. It took over 2 minutes for the president to tell the guy to go pound sand.
