I should prolly look into the source of this but oh well. Ill spread it anyhow!
"This is our President's response when he backed off from his decision
to let the military pay for their war injuries.
Send this to everyone to show just what he thinks of our military who
fight for our country and get hurt protecting our freedom. Wonder how
he would feel if HE had a member of his family in the military.
Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon
Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require
veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540
million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for
injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active
duty.
QUOTE:
The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the
opposition to his proposal.
"Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained..
"Nobody made these 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 country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd
have thought that the patriotic thing 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 vet and their families whom you know.
Make the vets pay for their own medical conditions, while giving free
insurance to those who aren't citizens or those who never contribute
one cent of taxes. It's an obama-nation."
