Obama made a national security case for a strong economy and suggested that his opponent, Mitt Romney, won't take proper care of veterans if he's elected president.

This coming from the man who said that "active military should pay for their own health care"! The nerve of that clown...

Anyone notice how, at this point, his lovely wife Mooshy has all but left her anti-obesity campaign behind and has instead
bifurcated herself and her image,into a “let’s care for the Veterans” spokesperson?

Hmmmm.....telegraphing his own intentions and reassigning them to his opponent?

This may have something to do with the $500 billion cut to the military over the next ten years that was divulged on Friday. The VA may well be high on the list along with the shipyards and military contractors.

Meanwhile, Romney sits quietly in a darkened closet, with his thumb up his backside.

What a waste of time and money. If Romney isn’t up for the fight, he should have never applied for the damn job.

I can’t stand Romney, but I hate Obama’s guts. Romney is driving me crazy with his sheep in sheep’s clothing act.

If Romney truly wants to win, he needs to get on the offensive and he needs to do it NOW.

112 days until this goofy game is over....

CONCERNED VETERANS OF AMERICA

http://concernedveteransforamerica.org/2012/07/03/1095/

No one would ever believe that the current administration wants to increase U.S. military veterans medical fees after hearing President Obama say on Memorial Day during a thoughtful speech at the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C., “Let’s resolve to take care of our veterans as well as they’ve taken care of us – not just talk, but actions. Not just in the first five years after a war, but the first five decades.”

Based upon President Obama’s own words, this Memorial Day message exemplifies a hypocritical and misleading statement. It clearly implies our veterans are going to be cared for under this administration. His feel good statement on such a symbolic day of remembrance, dedicated to those who have sacrificed their lives for our country, is insulting to surviving veterans who trust our Commander in Chief has their best interests at heart.

Here is the evidence that demonstrates the contrary: Earlier this year, Pentagon budget officials came under fire for their efforts to hike medical insurance (Tricare) fees on U.S. military veterans. Fortunately, Congressional committees in the Republican-controlled House and the Democratic-controlled Senate blocked those fee increases while considering defense appropriations bills.

However, if you thought that debate was over, the Obama administration hasn’t given up in their efforts to demand more from our veterans’ wallets. From the Washington Free Beacon:

The Obama administration on Friday threatened to veto a defense appropriations bill in part because it does not include higher health care fees for members of the military.

“The Administration is disappointed that the Congress did not incorporate the requested

TRICARE fee initiatives into either the appropriation or authorization legislation,” the White House wrote in an official policy statement expressing opposition to the bill, which the House approved in May.

President Obama’s most recent budget proposal includes billions of dollars in higher fees for members of TRICARE, the military health care system, and is part of the administration’s plan to cut nearly $500 billion from the Pentagon’s budget.

There’s no question the explosion of federal spending over the last decade is completely unsustainable. What’s alarming is that the Obama administration thinks it’s appropriate to demand that veterans pay more for their care, while ignoring the much larger programs that are driving the growth in federal spending.

Obama you are an IDIOT.
You have been President for over 3 years and our veterans have NOT been getting the care they need. Then on top YOU want to charge them more for their insurance......
Do you really think that we all are as dumb as Joe Biden?

Being a Vietnam Veteran this half white, homo, poser isn’t fit to scrape sh!t off my boots.

He hates the American military and all that it stands for.
