But the proposal would be "dead on arrival" if it's sent to Congress, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, said.

Maybe, but the damage is already done. He just drove another nail in his coffin by pushing this.

As if his slapping America in the face with his Hamas welfare scheme wasn't enough?

This thread actually made me tear up with sadness.

The rest of my post would have been deleted by the moderator.

Military haters

I wonder if these liberals like Patty Murray could possibly open their pea brains long enough to go the step further and make some decisions about the motivations and thinking of a man who would make such a horrendus proposal in the first place. Obama is an excellent example of someone who thinks only of himself and talks about how he is going to make the nation a better place in which to live. Now the nation will only improve when Obama is out of office.

Everyone except disabled veterans.

“I read Rules for Radicals and there is zero mention in there of destroying the health care system or insulting veterans.”

that’s because you just read the book. Obama lives by it.

Actually I see it as helping offset my expense so other vets without insurance will still be covered. I fear we all will lose our benefits if the current White house occupant is allowed his wishes.

"It's called a "trial balloon". They like this idea, and other similar ones. They float this idea, saying it has "no chance"... but if the outcry isn't bad enough to cost many Dem seats, they'll tinker with it, and push it through. They know that the silent majority only has the stomach for so much complaining per year... so if they can find a soft spot, or a time when they're sick of being dismayed and annoyed, they'll push a few more across."

By summer (maybe earlier) there will be a split within the dems in congress. Moderate dems will side with the GOP to stop Hussein. Stuff like this is going to cause it.

If it really gets bad (economy, polls, etc.) I predict that mod dems will acquire and release Hussien’s BC. If he is not eligible, this will be a way of getting rid of him fast.

Obama won’t go visit our wounded vets our of fear of what they’d say to him. Obama after all can’t handle criticism.

I’d expect a few vets to spit in his face (because of the mediation they’re on of course) if given the chance and I would not blame them!!

Oh my frikkin gawd!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks goodness I have FR....or my head would explode!!!! This is just UNBELIEVABLE!

[Doogle]

...IF ANYONE HAS A MILITARY PING LIST USE IT NOW!
I realize it is just a proposal, but one that should get WIDE notice

[Syncro]

The free health care if only for Obama voters.

Welfare recipients, ACORN, illegal alien insurgent criminal invading colonists etc

Not for patriotic heroes.

[Churchillspirit]

This Kenyan guy is making even the left wing dems. in Congress look like moderates.

[rintense]

WHAT!!!!

[rockinqsranch]

This is one I am NOT going to tell my wife about.

She’ll get that Mossberg 12 ga. expression on her face with that Smith & Wesson look in her eye. Quite unnerving.

She listens to Hewitt on the way home from work, so let him tell her about it.

[b4its2late]

Wow.

[MtnClimber]

Of course, Zer0 wants to punish good and reward evil.

Words cannot express how angry I am. Wounded veterans made a huge sacrifice for their country the least we can do is cover their health care costs. As commander in chief Obama should know it is his duty to take care of his troops.
