Obama's Response Re: Military paying for own Injuries......
Obama's response when he backed off his idea of having Military pay for their wartime wounds and injuries: Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans' 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.” He just doesn't get it.

Permission to respond as a foreigner?
Clearly he does not get it. His attitude is so improper as to make one worry about what other important issues he may not 'get'?

Mao-bama HATES what America IS and stands for, and is REMAKING it, as he sees fit. He doesn't care what people think - he's got a mandate - he won.
Congress is the same way. They too don't care what the people think - as exhibited by their voting records - on both sides of the aisle. The outrageousness on myriad issues is coming so fast now, one cannot even keep up on it, and that's the whole idea - information fatigue. That way, they can pass more legislation, do more to "remake" the country like they think it should be made (the liberal losers in D.C.). This includes both Dems and Repubs. Soon, they will have total control, and will change this country so much that even a total overturning of Congress in 2010 won't matter. They are doing this as fast as they can.

Your viewpoint is always welcome, Tranter, and in this case you won't find many here who would disagree with you.

![]() ![]() They will use such an "emergency" to do just that - declare Martial Law - totally disarm the public, and introduce us to our new way of life - serfdom to the elite. ![]()
