JSF和C17今天在奥巴马手下小小的悲剧了一下...

President Obama repeated Friday that he would veto a defense policy bill if it includes funding for military jet programs — the JSF second engine and the C-17 — that he and Defense Secretary Robert Gates have said should be cut to save money.

“Our military does not want or need these programs being pushed by the Congress, and should Congress ignore this fact, I will veto any such legislation so that it can be returned to me without those provisions,” Obama said in a statement.

The House passed a bill late Friday afternoon that includes the JSF funding as well as a repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

Obama’s full statement:
"As the Congress continues its work on funding bills for the Department of Defense, I want to reiterate my strong support for the reforms Secretary Gates is advancing at the Pentagon. He has kept me fully apprised of his efforts to reform how our military operates and bring needed efficiencies to the Department of Defense. I stand squarely behind Secretary Gates' position on the JSF second engine and C-17 programs. As the Statement of Administration Policy made clear, our military does not want or need these programs being pushed by the Congress, and should Congress ignore this fact, I will veto any such legislation so that it can be returned to me without those provisions."


基本上是这样的, 国会要拨款给JSF和C17, 但是盖茨领导的国防部认为这些拨款对于当前军队建设无益.
于是这次奥巴马亲自出面,声称只要国会通过对这两项工程的拨款, 就会动用否决权.
但是国会却把这两项工程的项目拨款和军队收回其实同性恋的法案放在了一起搞一揽子通过...因为美国总统没有line-item veto(选择性否决)的权力, 因此很可能需要连着同性恋法案一起否决. 但是因为国会有2/3赞成的时候就可以否决总统的否决权, 所以支持这两个项目的议员希望拉住支持收回同性恋歧视性条款的议员一起否决奥巴马的否决权...太tnnd绕口了.{:3_92:}
