Andrew P. Hunter said "If this President will close the $13 billion ammunition shortage and supply adequate ammunition to our troops, I will personally join with the gentleman from Missouri in offering any type of a resolution to thank the President for doing that and say that he is doing a good job. If he will take the 10,000 service people off of food stamps and close that 13 rac{1}{2} percent pay disparity between the civilian sector and the military sector, I will join with the gentleman from Missouri in saying the President is doing a good job in leading the military. The President right now is not doing a good job in leading the military. He is willing to do anything to thank them except pay them and arm them, and I am going to vote no on this resolution." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
