Yay! BO Backed off from something....

Thanks for stopping by the TACWASH Blog. My sermon this morning was on "The Stone was rolled Away" and the outline can be seen here.

I received the following a while back from one of my cousins and was flabbergasted. I have to tell you, I am absolutely embarrassed for our country. I wish I could apologise to every one of our troops that are presently serving in the Armed Forces of the United States of America for the present resident of the White House. He does not deserve to be called Commander and Chief in my humble opinion.

Obama's Military Private Insurance Proposal

The following has been checked out through http://www.snopes.com/ and alsohttp://www.ask.com/, the story appeared in the Washington Times. Chew on this for a while.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT EVER MADE BY A PUBLIC OFFICIAL LET ALONE BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO REQUIRE THE MILITARY TO PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES.

Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans to carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel 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 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."

Please pass this on to every one including every vet and their families whom you know. How in the world did a person with this mindset become our leader?

REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT.

"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?" If he thinks he will ever get another vote from an Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard service member or veteran of a military service he ought to think again. If you have a family member that has served their country please pass this to them. Please pass this to everyone. I'm guessing that other than the 20-25 percent hardcore liberals in the US, everyone else will agree that this is just another example why this is the worst president in American history. Remind everyone over and over how this man thinks.
