Obama, speaking at a military base in New Jersey, said it was
critical that lawmakers from both parties supported the bill,
which included payouts for the military.
"That's why it was so important that folks in Congress,
Democrats and Republicans, came together and passed legislation
that I'm going to sign to keep our government open and funded
for the coming year, and that includes military operations," he
said.
