July 23, 2009 - EMAIL RECEIVED - OBAMA THINKS MILITARY SHOULD PAY OWN HOSPITALIZATION INSURANCE

I received this in my email and I "copied and pasted" the article below just as I received it. Judge for yourself!

IF this is true...this is the MOST unbelievable thing that I have ever heard of.

Subject: UNBLIEVEABLE comment from Obama about our servicemen

This is the first time that I have heard this. Obama is even more of a SOB than I thought. And that is really saying something. President Obama is surprised that veterans do not want to pay their own medical expenses.

Here is Obama's response when he backed off from his decision to let the military pay for their war injuries. Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans to carry pivate 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."

I guess OBAMA just doesn't get that the American people love and appreciate our military guys and gals who lay their lives on the line so we can lay our heads down at night in peace. That's because he is not an AMERICAN at heart. That much is obvious. Why in the world people voted for him I'll never know, but we all will surely pay the price and rue the day that he took office. America is getting change but not the change they were looking to get.

Audrey's comment to this article: I agree that this is unbelieveable. If he wants to save money, he needs to start at home. I wonder what Obama thinks about how much money per year it takes just to manage his wife's affairs as the First Lady of the President? Go to blog archives and click on "July 8, 2009 - COST IT TAKES TO MANAGE MICHELL OBAMA." It takes a whopping $1,144,000.00 per year to pay for her staff members to manage her life/affairs. This does not include other perks that she might receive. This is only one example of "government waste" but it doesn't matter if "they" are wasting the money.
