Does Gretchen Driskell stand with soldiers or with Obama?

Now that President Obama is playing politics by threatening to veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), where is Gretchen Driskell’s outrage?  The NDAA, which authorizes funding for the Armed Forces, overwhelmingly passed the House by a vote of 270 to 156 and the Senate by a vote of 70 to 27.  In addition to authorizing paychecks for our troops, it also includes a 1.3 percent pay raise (which is a topic Driskell should be familiar with since she gave herself a 25% pay raise as Saline Mayor).

Is Gretchen Driskell so blindly partisan that she won’t stand up to Barack Obama’s veto threat that holds the paychecks of our military men and women hostage?  Some issues are more important than politics, and hopefully Driskell agrees this is one of them.

NRCC Comment:  “Not everyone in Michigan’s 7^th District is a millionaire like Gretchen Driskell, and that includes our brave soldiers and their families who rely on their paycheck to make ends meet.  Hopefully Gretchen Driskell musters up the courage to tell President Obama to back off his threat to veto a bipartisan bill that authorizes funding for our soldiers’ paychecks.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
