I don't care what your political views are...you must read this.  Another look at our president, unbelievable!!!!

*******************


HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO LET THE  MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES... SHOW[S] JUST WHAT HE THINKS OF OUR  MILITARY WHO FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY AND GET HURT PROTECTING OUR FREEDOM!!!

*******************

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."
