Obama Betrays Veterans

Thank You Mr. President,

Thanks to Matt Drudge, you have just insured a Republican Victory in 2012.

So far you are making George Bush appear as a “Saint”.

Maybe history will place you where you belong, one step below Jimmy Carter.

Is he also going to propose that when someone gets hurt at work in the private sector, their company and/or workman's comp can bill their private insurance company?

I bet not. For one thing, the unions would go ballistic.

You know, if a Mafia member is hurt or killed in the “line of duty”, the mob takes care of the expenses and the family. Perhaps Obama should have learned some *other* kinds of ethics from the Machine’s allies.

You are not gonna like this then.

I just finished Watching Brit Hume on Special Report and he stated the Cost of Veteran Health Care is around 554 Million Dollars (that is Million with an "M") a year.

Note that to date we have given AIG 180 BIllion (That is Billion with a "B") dollars in the Past 6 months. The reason Obama states we need to do this according to the story I read is to help pay for National Health Care for the rest of the citizens.

If you run the Numbers, instead of Paying AIG its 180 Billion Dollars we could have funded Veteran Health care for over 320 years figured at today's costs.
