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. 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 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 accepted
the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?"
