The decision to drop the idea was announced by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at a meeting with veterans groups after the meeting with Emanuel.
You are absolutely correct.
NEVER, EVER forget this.
To even think of doing something like this to our veterans is unthinkable.

Barack Obama hates and despises this country. He has made one blunder after another since he was sworn in. I think that this demonstrates the basic incopetence and irrationality of the left, from obama through the morons in the leadership of the Democratic Party.
It is just a shame that the Republican Party has proven itself to be little better. As Obama escalates his Marxist attack on the American people we are approaching a crisis in America that may result in armed conflict in the streets.
“No one can call themselves patriotic and support such a disgusting idea”
No one can call themselves patriotic and support such a disgusting excuse of a president.
There, fixed.
He mentioned that his son just finished a tour of duty in Iraq.
Sammon said this was the most politically tin ear piece of legislation he can remember.
I don’t know if I fully understand the motives of the Trash in the White House for this.
What was the endgame?
My theory - tell me if I’m off base here:
1. Obama messes with veteran benefits.
2. Less people want to join military, knowing this administration won’t respect their service or take care of them if they are hurt.
3. Military numbers dwindle.
4. Obama uses this as an excuse to reinstate the draft. (Didn’t he say that, if we go to war, “we ALL go to war” ??)
This was quite possibly the biggest thud of any lead trial balloons ever. Give them a few days and they’ll deny it ever happened.
The Disabled American Veterans today commended the Obama administration
This almost makes me madder than the original idea. That this Veterans Group is commending this guy for backing down on the most egregious assault on Veterans in US History makes my blood boil. Don't they remember why these guys were disabled and what they were fighting for? This person stands for none of their values. As a member of the VFW I am going to be watching for their comments on this.
It’s sickening ....
Thought Crime?
Zero is a clown ... he’s down right scary. There have always been firsts in the WH ... maybe he’ll be the first to be dragged out in a straight jacket ....
It is a Distraction.... Now they will go after Military Retirees TRICARE and either seriously up the out of pocket cost of the insurance or drop it all together...
Marxists at work.... I spend 22 years in the military defending freedom to come home and get my benefits stripped away and given to the Lazy young punks that want hand outs from the government and the Illegals...
What a country under this new Obama Communist Regime.
Some of you need to wake up. This was never a plan by obama, its a diversionary tactic to keep you off the trail of the bigger problems. Wake up for chrissake.....
You probably already read this, but just in case not: ping
I know they have to phrase the press releases that way but it sure sounds like the victim thanking the robber for not pistol whipping them. I suspect there is a draft version of that release that isn’t so complimentary.
