Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedianJon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposalto require veterans carry private health insurance to cover theestimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government oftreatment for injuries to military personnel received during theirtours on active duty. The President admitted that he was puzzledby the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal."Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody madethese guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks.Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute..""I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country,"Obama continued "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the countryfacing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patrioticthing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit.. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."Please pass this on to every one including every vet and their families whom you know. How in the world did a person with this mindset become our leader?REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT...."Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and acceptedthe risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?"If he thinks he will ever get another vote from an Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard servicemember or veteran of a military service he ought to think it over.. If you or a family member is or hasserved their country please pass this to them.Please pass this to everyone. I'm guessing that other than the 20-25 percent hardcore liberals in the USwill agree that this is just another example why this is the worst president in American history. Remindeveryone over and over how this man thinks, while he bows to the Saudi Arabian king.
