As an American, this is the most offensive and ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Read Obama’s quote highlighted in BOLD below.
Here is his response as he "changed" his firm and bold decision to require the military to pay for their war injuries. Evidently, this is what he thinks of our men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line every day fighting for our country and who get hurt protecting our American freedom.
A storm of protest from Veterans and the "far right extremist" Fox news, as well as a major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama's abandonment of his requirement that veterans' or their private health insurance cover the estimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government for treatment of injuries received during their tours on active duty.
The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal. "LOOK, IT'S AN ALL VOLUNTEER FORCE," Obama grumbled. "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 IT ITS HISTORY, I'D HAVE THOUGHT THAT THE PATRIOTIC THING TO DO WOULD BE TO TRY AND HELP REDUCE THE NATION'S DEFICIT. I GUESS I UNDERESTIMATED THE SELFISHNESS OF SOME OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS."
He's no President. He's an asshole.
