the President is Puzzled about the Military "Selfishness"

another of the most interesting emails I have gotten. don't blame me, I didn't write it.


THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT EVER MADE BY A
PUBLIC OFFICIAL LET ALONE BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AND
THIS GUY IS OUR "COMMANDER IN CHIEF". HE IS A DISGRACE.


HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO LET THE
MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES.

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.."

Please pass this on to every one including every vet and their
families whom you know.
How in the world did a person with this mind set become our leader?

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? And "I guess I underestimated the
selfishness of some of my fellow Americans." Soldiers, Family Membera
and DOD Civilians are some of the most selfless Americans ever. They
risk their lives, loss of limbs, loss of eyesight and quality of life
while fighting Ameica's wars and providing Freedom throughout the world.
And the President calls them "selfish...."!!!!!!!! He has never been
there. How could he ever understand..

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 you or a family member is or has served their
country please pass this to them. Please pass this to everyone.

I'm guessing that other than the 20-25 percent hard-core liberals in
the US will agree that this is just another example why he is rapidly
becoming the worst president in American history. Remind everyone over
and over how this man thinks, while he bows to the Saudi Arabian king.
