I repeat, this clown MAKES ME SICK.......
AN OUT-OF-TOUCH ‘COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF’
President Obama abandons 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."
