President Barack Obama is marking Veterans Day by making it his mission to ensure America has the back of its veterans.

In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says now that more veterans are coming home from wars, the U.S. must serve them as well. He’s promoting programs to hire and educate veterans. …

Just my opinion, but this is about “I’m dismissing top brass left and right if they don’t agree with me, so I need to do this so people think I actually care about the military.” I hate this a$$wipe.

Obama does NOTHING that doesn’t support his agenda.

Words. Just words. A friend of my son’s, female former Army nurse, suffered a back injury so severe she was hospitalized four months, and has an estimated recovery time of 20 months. While she’s waiting for the VA to act on her disability claim, she’s supporting herself by selling flea market finds on eBay. Estimated wait is 8 months. I’m sure there are many cases worse than this. No. Excuse.

Don’t screw with Tricare, Obama, if you want to keep Vets happy. Tricare is already a compromise for the free healthcare for life we were promised when we joined the military.

My father-in-law is a veteran. I pay a fortune each month for a nursing home for him. My brothers-in-law are Socialists but refuse to help pay. Now he is in final stages of Alzheimer’s and the medical bills have drained my savings. Went to a VA hospital for hospice. 8 beds for the entire region.

8 beds for VA hospice? Tell the WWII and Vietnam vets that you have your back while Congress leeches and Administration gerbils get deluxe healthcare?

Liar!

Now that Obama has all the vets seething mad at him, it’s much too late for him to try to suck up and gain their trust. He insults our intelligence every time he opens his lying mouth.

As a vet, I believe I speak for the vast majority of vets when I say, “FUBO”, shove yourself up your Obamahole.

The list of attacks on Veterans will not end until Obastard is out of office, and it’ll probably grow a bit more after that as we learn of the more secretive nefarious acts of The Won.

He probably thought he was talking about Veterinarians....
