that would have resulted in private insurance paying for some
service-connected injuries. I do not know if the quote is accurate.

WHAT A SELFISH ...............
...but remember....before he became THE most powerful man in the
world with the largest and most deadly military arsenal ever known to
man at his disposal...he WAS a "community organizer"!!!
Whether you served in the military or not is not an issue. The
point is, is this the kind of SOB you want for the president of the USA?
PRESIDENT OBAMA
HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO LET THE
MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES. WHAT AN EMPTY HEADED PERSON HE
MUST BE. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE TO SHOW JUST WHAT HE THINKS OF OUR
MILITARY WHO FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY AND GET HURT PROTECTING OUR
FREEDOM!!!
Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart,
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.
"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."
