Obama's New Quote to the Military! THis is a big GAFT! Read Below. YOUR THOUGHTS?

HERE IS OBAMA'S RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO LET THE MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES..........SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO SHOW THEM JUST WHAT HE THINKS OF OUR MILITARY WHO FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY AND GET HURT AND KILLED PROTECTING OUR FREEDOM!!!

Bad press, including major mockery of the plan 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.


His astute answer was, and I quote "Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama wined..

He continued with -
"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."

    This is fiction - I am disappointed in the American Public's intelligence to believe whatever they want, regardless of it's truth. Folks - if you hear something via email or internet that is salacious, outrageous, and you haven't heard it in the news... that's a big red flag that it's probably not true. Don't vote based on lies - there are too many uninformed Americans out there - do your own investigation, please. An ignorant voter is a pawn to be played... don't be a pawn.

    I didn't hear him say this.. however, I received several emails stating that he made the remark. If, he did make the statement it is just another blot on his ability to serve as president: he has already made several and should not have been elected.

    This is a net-rumor! http://www.truthorfiction.com...

    The Obama administration plans to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for the treatment service related injuries of military personnel -Truth! - but Cancelled

    The quote was not made by President Obama but by the writing staff of the Jon Stewart show at COMEDY CENTRAL. Stewart made fun of this proposal during his satirical news/current events program and included a fictional quote attributed to the President.

    It was a politically egg-headed move to begin with, but to attribute the quote to him is erroneous and not entirely fair. It's almost like spitting on our veterans reminicent of the Viet Nam era when not the president but our fellow citizens, opposed to the war, took it out on the soldiers coming home. That was a disgraceful time in our history and was misdirected anger! This too is misdirected. Be angry that he would ever propose that private insurance cover war injuries, but don't pin a satirical quote on the man. Play fair, children!

    The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal. ???

    maybe we can give him some help?
    Ok, lets start with him joining is "volunteer mandatory" service to our country youth brigade (don't complain it's volunteer remember)
    next we can place him in harms way with HIS proposed lack of protection lie better vests and reinforced hulled tanks,
    then he can get shot or maybe hit a land mine removing his leg or arm,
    then he can come back and see why it it was so puzzling to him!

    was that easy enough for his little head to understand or should i have a child say it
    or maybe his programmers should have put a him a beating heart along with intelligence chip.

    if this is what he said then there is no mistaking his lack of American ethic, American loyalty and American pride. This person is not American, not the kind of American that I am. Add to this his absolute arrogance towards us and disrespect towards the office he holds, I am not just appalled but I am disappointed in this country for his getting even one vote.
    How could anyone ever give a vote to such a person, its beyond comprehension. .

    I am just so disappointed in this choice. holds appalled disappointed country vote vote person comprehension disappointed choice holds appalled disappointed country vote vote person comprehension disappointed choice

    he voted to cut costs to our troupes for vests and reinforced hulls things like that.he is not an American, an American wants the good of the country and it's people, this guy only wants the "goods" to go to him and the rest of the elite, that does not include any of us!

    If you read my post I said if this is true..
    If it is then yes, I could do a better job, it wouldn't be hard and the country would stand behind me because they would know I was on their side...
    he president of this country MUST respect our fighting men and women, remember his job is Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces, if he doesn't want to protect them, give then the equipment they need and rightfully deserve and more so expects them to pay their medical bills received in service to the country, while supporting free medical for illegal immigrants, then I am a better American, in fact between the two of us I am probably the only American.
    he is not a poor man, he applied for the job, he then accepted the job, he needs to do the job.

    Edward R. Murrow said these two things.. :

    Our major obligation is not to mistake slogans for solutions.

    A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.

    Again you have misunderstood me, I did not compare the two of us, I compared my love of country, my dedication to its citizens and my gratitude, loyalty and respect for our Armed forces, past and present, to Mr Obama, not to you.
    I have no doubt that you care for your country, I have no doubt that you are concerned for it.
    Yes, being 21, although a wonderful age and filled with idealism that I wish I had to do over... However at 21 its difficult to understand that someone you might admire is not honest.
    I do not believe that Mr Obama is honest in his dealings with us, everyone has an agenda, his is just not what this country is all about nor is it what is ever should be about.
    The economy is is a bad way, but you can never spend your way out, its a time to cut taxes rather than raise them as Mr Obama is doing, its time to let small business thrive, not be taxed out of existence, let big business make money, they are the ones that hire all of us, with the money we make from them we spend and that stimulates the economy. Mr Obama wants to tax them out of existence, make them move out of the country, then where is your job or mine going to come from, the government?
    This country became great through a free market, we are a capitalist society, some don't like that, its seems now that...

    This country became great through a free market, we are a capitalist society, some don't like that, its seems now that most do. It sounds harsh but id you like living in a socialist, communist society, with high taxation and limits to earnings and government control go to one of the many countries that have this in place, don't ruin America, we are the land of the FREE, please don't take that lightly.
    I lived through the recession of the 70's it was worse than this and it worked out because taxes were cut not increased, government spending was limited not increased..
    I'm sorry that you feel that there is anything personal in any of this, I just really would like for you, just as for my kids and grandkids to have the opportunity to become successful in a country that is the best in the world, we are really the only truly free market country and I believe that we are the very best.
    In this country you sink or swim, I have sunk a few times, I've spent time treading water to stay afloat and Ive been successful on lots of occasions, however I have never taken a handout from my government, only a hand up from the soul of the country that offers everyone success in exchange for hard work and dedication.
    This is the land of opportunity, seize it, I know about living in a socialized society, they all would love to have what we have, they come from all over the world to have freedom to succeed.. Why would we ever what to be wards of the state?
    Phew, long answer..

    Where is his respect for our Troops? Oh I forgot what he said in his book:

    According to Tine Hahiyary, one of Obama's teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. "I remembered that he had studied "mengaji" (recitation of the Quran)" Tine said.

    The author of the Laotze blog writes from Jakarta: "The actual usage of the word 'mengaji' in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic language rather than the native tongue. "Mengagi" is a word and a term that is accorded the highest value and status in the mindset of fundamentalist societies here in Southeast Asia. To put it quite simply, 'mengaji classes' are not something that a non practicing or so-called moderate Muslim family would ever send their child to. To put this in a Christian context, this is something above and beyond simply enrolling your child in Sunday school classes."

    "The fact that Obama had attended mengaji classes is well known in Indonesia and has left many there wondering just when Obama is going to come out of the closet."

    "As I've stated before, the evidence seems to quite clearly show that both Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo were in fact devout Musl..."'""""'"""'""''"""""""'""""

    "As I've stated before, the evidence seems to quite clearly show that both Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo were in fact devout Muslims themselves and they raised their son as such."

    The Obama Campaign told the LA Times he wasn't a "practicing Muslim." (3/14/2007). But his official website says: "Obama Has Never Been A Muslim, And Is a Committed Christian" (11/12/2007)

    That's not what his friends and classmates have said. Classmate Rony Amiris describes young Barry as enjoying playing football and marbles and of being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. We previously often asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was wearing a sarong, he looked funny," said Rony.

    Amiris, now the manager of Bank Mandiri, Jakarta, recently said, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. His birth father, Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim economist from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Hussein Obama was married to a woman from Kenya who had seven children. All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims"

    Emirsyah Satar, CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as saying, "He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a 'sarong', at that time."

    "He was quite religious in Islam but only after marrying Michelle, he changed his religion."
    So Obama, according to his classmates and friends was a Muslim until the confluence of love and ambition caused him to adopt the cloak of Christianity: to marry Michelle and to run for President of the United States.

    In "Dreams," Obama sheds light on his formative years and the political views of his mother, an anthropologist and Islamophile who hated America and subsequently "went native." (It was her mother -- Barry's "other" grandmother who cared for him in his druggie teenage years -- that he would describe as a "typical white person" who was, he said scoldingly, fearful of black men and prone to making stereotypical racial remarks.)

    Obama Senior also had three sons by another woman who are all Muslim. Although Obama claims Senior was an atheist, Senior was buried as a Muslim.
