President signs bill today that prevents VA medical funding from being interrupted by Congressional delay in passing a budget bill. While in the Senate, he co-sponsored the bill.

PUNDIT PREP -- THE PRESIDENT’S DAY -- Promise made, kept: The Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act that the President is signing today -- guaranteeing a timely and predictable flow of funding for Department of Veterans Affairs medical care -- is a promise he made on the campaign. This action by the President will make the money for Veterans Affairs dependable by taking that portion of money out of the Beltway budget battle and allow the agency actually to plan. This aims to protect veterans' medical programs from interruptions in funding when Congress is late passing a budget bill — as it has been for 20 of the last 23 years. As a senator, Obama co-sponsored the legislation with Sen. Daniel Akaka, (D-Hawaii). </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/5907317F-8BE2-401D-8105-0F90477B7C28/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
