FLASHBACK: Hillary Clinton Says President’s ‘Highest Obligation’ Is to Care for Veterans (VIDEO)
Washington Free Beacon ^ | May 29 2014 | Washington Free Beacon

As a presidential candidate in 2008, Hillary Clinton said it was “the highest obligation” of the President of the United States to care for the nation’s veterans.

“We haven’t funded the VA. We have so many coming home who are injured and not being taken care of,” she said. “I think it is the highest obligation of the President, who is also our Commander-in-Chief, to take care of those who have served our nation.”

Clinton has been silent on the current Veterans Affairs scandal rocking the Obama administration, which has shed light on widespread incompetence and corruption that led to the deaths of veterans needing medical care. (VIDEO)

And then they went and chose the worst possible person to represent Veterans....Liberals aren’t very smart. Not saying that Hillary as President would have been good, but Obama hates everything America. Hillary is just a socialist but sorta cares about America.

” Hillary is just a socialist but sorta cares about America.”

Hillary is a crook who uses socialism as a tool to keep the populace in check while she loots the treasury. She got that from Bill.

No, the highest obligation is to not get them killed unnecessarily in the first place and to make every effort to save them when they’re in trouble.... Benghazi!

At least she wasn’t trying to politicize it. Steny Hoyer would have been mad.

While in the WH Hilliary treated the military as dogs and was so disrespectful it was criminal. Now, she acts like her heart is in the right place. Democrats are the lowest.

Socialism always fails no matter who the CIC is.
Without a profit motive, where’s the incentive?

Don’t tell me the altruism and good intentions of politicians and bureaucrats is enough.

Meet the new VA, same as the old VA.

I didn’t read the article, only the headline. Should Hillary become president, her “Highest Obligation” with
military is keep young, handsome Marines serving tables in
the whitehouse, like she did when billy was pRESIDEnt.
