BREAKING : White House Confirms Obama Will Side With Saudis Over 9/11 Victims and Veto 9/11 Bill
In 2006, a then Senator Obama wrote in his book The Audacity of Hope, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Fast forward to 2016 and he has kept that promise….at the expense of Americans and 9/11 Victims. Truly Sad.
The Hill Reports
President Obama will veto legislation allowing the families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts, the White House said Monday.
“That is still the plan. The president does plan to veto this legislation,” press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters. “I do anticipate the president will veto the legislation when it is presented to him. It hasn’t been presented to him yet.”
Those comments are the clearest indication yet Obama plans to veto the bipartisan legislation, opening up the possibility Congress could override an Obama veto for the first time.
Earnest had strongly hinted for the past several months that the president would reject the bill, but he had not issued a full veto threat before.
Obama has come under heavy pressure from Democratic lawmakers and 9/11 victims’ families who back the legislation not to veto the bill.
They are concerned it would set up a politically damaging showdown with Congress that would diminish the president’s political capital ahead of a year-end spending fight and a high-stakes lame-duck session of Congress.
The bill’s authors believe they have the votes to override Obama’s veto; the legislation passed unanimously by voice vote in both the House and Senate.
The measure is spurring heavy pushback from Persian Gulf states.
The six-member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), on which Saudi Arabia plays a leading role, on Monday called the bill a threat to international order.

FUCK JIHADIST Barry. He should be tried and executed along with Soros as a domestic terrorist.
Like Hillary Clinton Mr. Obama loves Saudis and Radical Islamist therefore i strongly believe he should veto, the families of 4000 Americans who lost their lives do not deserved to sue Saudis and Radical Islamist.
To John Fernando, your reasoning stinks and it does not hold water. Being an ex-claim adjuster, I will give you my opinion for whatever it is worth. In a case like this, the burden of proof falls on the plaintiffs which is going to be very difficult for them to prove all Saudis were involved directly and were concomitant with Bin Laden in other words, they aided and abbetted Bin Laden which would be very hard. Even Bin Laden’s family had disinherited him. Where there is a tort, you have the right to sue even if it involves international law which is more difficult but like I said, the burden of proof could not be met in my estimation. Do they deserve the right to sue, you betcha asshole but it won’t happen not because of obuma’s reasoning but the law in and of itself.
I don’t care if they can win or not but they deserve the chance in court,but some dipshit America hating race baiting sand nigger CINC doesn’t wanna let them ? FUCK THAT GUY HARD WITH NO POLITICALLY CORRECT LUBE OR CONDOMS!!! 🙂
