Version 1:
Dear Friends and Family,
I know many of you voted for our
current president, based on his ideas for change in this country. I was
not a supporter of his, and even though I did not vote for him I had
hoped he would do what he said and not what his voting record stated.
However it seems as if my first
impression of him was accurate.
Before I decided to send out this
email and check my facts from different sources, as I did not want to
pass on speculation or rumor.
If you have not heard Mr. Obama would
like for our Men and women serving in the military wounded in service of
our country to pay for their medical care. He feels they should obtain
private insurance to pay for these injuries. I am only assuming at the
moment but it would be my guess, that he would never ask for workman's
compensation to be revoked. However that is what he proposes for our
Military members.
I am outraged that the Commander and
Chief of our Armed services would propose such an action. Please contact
your senators and congressional leaders to make sure that this never
comes to pass.
It is because of these brave service
members both past and present, that we have the freedoms that we enjoy.
Here are several websites confirming
this.

I don't usually spout off about such
things, but my husband and many more military members have served their
country with honor. Making sure military members who have been injured
while serving their country have health care is the least we can do for
them.
Version 2:
OBAMA IS SURPRISED THAT THE MILITARY
WANTS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM
HIS DECISION TO LET THE MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES.........WHAT
A EMPTY HEADED PERSON HE MUST BE....SEND THIS TO EVERYONE TO SHOW JUST
WHAT HE THINKS OF OUR MILITARY WHO FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY AND GET HURT
PROTECTING OUR FREEDOM!!!
Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by
comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to
require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated
$540 million annual cost to the fede ral 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 vet and their families
whom you know.
Version 3:
He doesn't seem to have much respect for the military.
Maybe in the future our leaders should be veterans.

THE MOST STUPID STATEMENT EVER BY A PRESIDENT-Unbelievable
THIS MOST UNBELIEVABLE PRESIDENT?
HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO REQUIRE THE
MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES.
Bad press, including major mockery of
the play by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his
proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the
estimated $540 billion 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

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?"
