Toss out the sorrow but keep your anger and keep it focused on this communist b*****d! I have a son still serving Army Infantry (10 yrs), over 2 1/2 yrs actual combat (Iraq) don’t think I won’t try for a piece of my “representative” and he’s good but he’s going to hear my fury.

FUBO!

[skeeter]

Obama will support HIS troops, once he forms his homeland defense force.

[Marathoner]

I hate Barack Obama. I have saved that sentiment until today, but I mean it right now.

DITTO!!I only wish this was an impeachable offense, well in my mind it is but with the worthless Congress we have now I know it won't happen.

[Lurking in Kansas]

I must confess, I'm shocked. Not shocked that it's happening, but so quickly. I thought he do something like this a few years down the road.

Instead, the Zero is pissing everyone off as fast as the can.

Americans need to tell this President....NO WAY. These military injured heros were defending, are defending, the American people and the government needs to take care of them. This guy has no understanding of the military and their commitments to the security of the US.

[jedgarlives]

And instead of talking about this Republican party leaders are attacking Rush Limbaugh!

[kyperman]

A few years ago..the very thought of this country breaking apart into two different ones would have drawn a smirk from me...but now...I almost expect it.

[snowsislander]

The Kenyan Clown plans to destroy our military.

[Arrowhead1952]

But, he, pig lousy, and dingy hairy insist they support the military. This is their way of being “patriotic”. < /sarcasm>

[Natural Law]

"Napolean took care of his troops and built the Invalides Hospital for their care."

Don't forget that Napoleon was a soldier who was wounded in action multiple times.

[WildcatClan]

He is looking to save $540 mil and ACORN is receiving billions? Did I not read that somewhere? I would fix all this in short order. I would shut down all the VA hospitals and make sure our wounded veterans had the best insurance and access to the best healthcare. I do not like the idea that some veterans have to travel long distances to be treated.

We could open the bidding up to private insurers in each state and call it the “Heroes Policy”. Enough pork could be cut to easily pay for this. I think this just highlights what we all already knew of this mans character; he has none.

[SECURE AMERICA]

As an American,a Veteran, a Christian, I am truly ashamed that there were enough weak, spineless, whiney Americans, to have voted this absolute LOSER into the Presidency.

1. Sounds like it's time to take a cue from the Bonus Army march. 2009 style, sans the commies.

2. Jeez, this betrays the mission of pretend piety that the snob's wife is supposedly on about assisting military families.

[OpeEdMunkey]

FWIW veteran members of my family have always done well and been satisfied at VA hospitals. All things considered maybe we have other areas to look at for cost savings.

[manapua]

the Zero is pissing everyone off as fast as the can.

That's precisely the game he's playing. He's a Marxist community "organizer."

[SJackson]

I hate Barack Obama. I have saved that sentiment until today, but I mean it right now.

I hate to personalize it, but, politely, the guy is a jerk. Just how he'll void insurers policies on a national basis remains to be seen. He can ask for reimbursement, but if the conditions are preexisting and/or the result of military service, I don't know how he'll get it.

[Kitanis]

Ok.. you all can scream at me.. you can put me down for saying this and repeating myself.

Get on the phone, write a letter, or write a email to both senators and your representative and voice your opposition to this idea NOW.

I wrote letters and put them in the mail and I just got off the phone with all three offices.. without telling them I sent the letters and talked to the Representative on each end.

Enough dissent to this idea goes through.. the more they will think TWICE about wanting it on the table.

[autumnraine]

I can’t even imagine hippy vietnam vets to be in support of this. No matter how liberal they are!

[Boris99]

I have to admit, I’m enjoying rubbing some noses in this down at my Post. Its chock full of obedient union Democrats that parrot the talking points. It saddens me.

Sounds like my family. Union Democrats that always pull the lever for the (D) no matter what because "they're for the little guy." Not like those mean Republicans with their beaver pelt top hats, monacles, three piece suits,gold pocket watches and cigars clenched in their teeth./s
