Verify Obama Statement
"Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody Made
these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the Risks.
Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It Doesn't
compute.." "I thought these were people who were proud to Sacrifice
for their country, "Obama continued. "I wasn't asking for Blood, just
money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in
Its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be
to Try to help reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated
the Selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."
Can anyone verify the Obama actually said the above?
This is supposedly related to the proposal to require
Veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540
Million annual cost to the federal government of treatment
I received this in email and am absolutely floored! I have to know if this is true.

I haven't heard this either. watch Fox news if it is something he said they will air it unlike the other stations who sweep everything under the rug for him. To be fair even some of those such as CNN and MSNBC are starting to express their concerns in our new leader. Even when you listen to everything he says you still walk away scratching your head asking what the He!! was that? He answered a question that wasn't asked and didn't answer any questions directly that were asked.
He never speaks without a teleprompter and I find it hard to believe he would say something so stupid , but then again look at his VP Biden.
HE WORRIES ME!
And he should worry you too if you belief in Life and Liberty and want to preserve the freedoms we have.

I can say without a doubt that is is not true. It it were true it would be on the DAV, American Legion and VFW websites and it is not there. Snopes has put the lie to several vicious lies told idiots who want to weaken US military morale. All kinds of vicious lies are making their way over the web.
Snopes debunked this lie about Obama:

Obama is not my favorite political hack. But he does care about the troops.
BTW: There is Politics section where that question should go.

I can't tell you whether or not Obama said it but I am ashamed to tell you that the proposed bill was authored by Ted Kennedy from "The Peoples Republic of Massachusetts."
