THIS is Our MOST UNBELIEVABLE PRESIDENT?
HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO REQUIRE THE MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES.
Bad press, including major mockery of the play by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans to carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 billion 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.
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?"If he thinks he will ever get another vote from an Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard service member or veteran of a military service he ought to think it over.. If he thinks he will ever get another vote from an Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard service member or veteran of a military service he ought to think it over..
Anyone have any thoughts or comments to add~

Every time he opens his mouth he says something incredibly stupid. This one is the worst. I hadn't heard this one yet. Our military sacrifice their day to day lives, their families sacrifice, and they sacrifice their own wellbeing and sometimes lives fighting for our freedoms. So they have already given their blood!! That is their sacrifice! They should be given compensation for what they do. Anything and everything we can do for them is well worth it! We need to quit paying free health care for all of the illegal aliens who are working, taking salaries, and not paying into the system! ARGH! Don't get me started!

Hi Adoniah,
No offense but I find this hard to believe. A statement like this made by the President would have been all over the news. I am so NOT an Obama fan but honestly, this does not even sound like words that would come out of his mouth. He is much more talented in his use of pretty, candy-coated words as are most politicians. This is just too blatant. I know and talk to guys that are in the military every day. Surely this would have been a topic of conversation amongst them and it hasn't been. Do you have any links to this?

I really feel sorry for such a naive individual who, apparently, believes that the MSM would show Barack Obama in less than a good light. It will not happen. "Nuff said.

Hello sid556. My intention when I commented on the original post was to inject a little give-and-take in it. Nothing else. I agree with you that some of the things that I have heard about Barack Obama are hard to believe. However, when I see the flag displayed in public and with a picture of several other high ranking political figures displayed on a platform paying attention to OUR FLAG IN A RESPECTFUL FASHION, and Barack Obama is standing there with the rest of them and he is, apparently, gazing out into what I will call left field with his hands in his pockets, it seriously upsets me. This person has no business as the, so called, leader of our country. Y'all can call me any names that you want to but, that is my opinion whether others like it or not. My two cents on this subject.

Finlander,
I just said that it was very hard to believe. I thought that the explanation given in the link that Purple provided sounded much more believable. Although they were asked for, as of now, no links to back up this story have been provided.

His new buses from Canada would pay for a lot of medical benefits wouldn't they? What a jerk. These young people are laying their lives on the line for their country and he wants them to pay for their own medical insurance. That is so insane. He is not in touch with reality. They are sent into the line of fire with improper protection against an enemy that is on its own territory.

If I really thought that it would make a difference I would "Suggest" that he get down off his high horse, and take a try at just watching what they do daily while training. He couldn't even stay out of trouble watching unless I miss my guess. Every time he opens his mouth he puts his foot in it. He probably has the biggest case of "Athlete's Tongue" that has ever existed.

Response to PurplePeopleEater. If, indeed, what you say is true, and I'm not saying it is, WHY would you put a link to SNOPES, if that was not where you found the truth? I'm sure that I'm not the only one who would like to know the answer to this question. Back this information up with some definitive facts, if you can. I don't believe you can, or will. SHOW ME HOW WRONG I AM, PLEASE.
