Is this the CHANGE Obama promised?
In the ultimate travesty and slap in the face of America's military, Obama now wants veterans to pay for their own injuries and health care.
“The leader of the nation’s largest veterans organization says he is ‘deeply disappointed and concerned’ after a meeting with President Obama today to discuss a proposal to force private insurance companies to pay for the treatment of military veterans who have suffered service connected disabilities and injuries. The Obama administration recently revealed a plan to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in such cases."
"‘It became apparent during our discussion today that the President intends to move forward with this unreasonable plan,’ said Commander David K. Rehbein of The American Legion. ‘He says he is looking to generate $540 million by this method, but refused to hear arguments about the moral and government-avowed obligations that would be compromised by it.’ ”
Obama and his out-of-control Democrats in Congress waste trillions of taxpayer dollars on their Liberal SOCIALISM -- including multi million dollar bonuses to AIG executives and their failed company -- but they can't support America's veterans.
I'm sure it won't take Obama long to refute and spin his statements, claiming (and convincing his mindless minions) that he didn't mean what he said -- another teleprompter malfunction?
Pass it on!

More Worthy of Health Care: Disabled War Vets or Illegal Aliens?
John Lillpop, Tuesday, March 17, 2009
President Obama continues ... his seemingly endless stream of proposals that advance incredibly arrogant, illogical and foolish ideas.
The latest shock concerns the proposal to force private insurance companies to pay for treating disabled veterans.
With this sort of insanity making news on an almost daily basis, reasonable leaders of the Democrat party, if there are any, need to visit the Oval Office and remind Obama that disabled veterans are American heroes, and the very essence of patriotism and sacrifice.
Without contributions made by war veterans, America’s freedom and liberty would be very much in doubt.
President Obama ... would pile additional burden on the backs of the men and women whom have served in harm’s way to defend our great nation.
...why in the hell would the president go after the most noble and worthy citizens in our midst?
Rather than punishing [America's veterans] ... Obama should “go after” the hundreds of billions of taxpayers dollars that are wasted on providing public services to invading illegal aliens who have no business even being in America.
Even lifelong liberals should be capable of seeing the wrong in dumping disabled war veterans while embracing illegal aliens!

It was announced on the late news last night that Obi-One is already back-peddling on this one. There seems to be a recognizable pattern developing with this crew -- throw large quantities of leftist sh*t against the wall, and see what sticks and what doesn't. Anything that results in immediate outrage, just announce that so and so got a little carried away, "thinking out loud" as it were -- just sweep it away quickly and move on. One 24 hours news cycle later almost no one remembers that they came up with this ridiculous, radically left idea -- only that saner minds prevailed and they didn't pursue it. And, of course, just by the shear numbers of radical ideas they're coming up with, some of it is bound to slip through. A common public outcry during this administration will be, "how did that crazy idea become law?"
ReplyDeleteThis is really and devious and evil bunch, and I don't think the damage they're capable of doing can be over-stated, but they will do their level best to make sure than anyone who tries will be labeled a kook and conspiracy theorist. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" is going to take on an entirely new meaning in the next few years.
