Patriots and Patriettes -- I am forwarding this e-mail because I believe that
every patriot out there should be aware of our Commander in Chief's beliefs. I
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>know that there are a few Obama
supporters out there within our ranks and please don't misconstrue this as
political. Obama has already been elected as our President and is accepted by
all as that. This is an informational e-mail to make you aware of where we all
stand in the eyes of our elected President of the United States. In his
statement below he states that patriotism is - going to fight for your country
but does not stop there. We are expected to pay the monetary price of the
medical treatment in conjunction with fighting for our country. And he further
states that he is puzzled by the amount of opposition to his plan. In essence he
is calling those that do not support his plan as non Patriots. Read it and
decide for yourself<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

despicable, since it is voiced by our President. Where is his sacrifice! This
individual is incapable of a coherent thought. Apparently anyone in the United
States military services has volunteered to have their marrow sucked dry. Their
employer wants nothing to do with their health and welfare. Since when is this
the employees responsibility. It is clear President Barack (the shah) Hussein
Obama has no idea what comprises a Patriot.<SPAN

<P class=MsoNoSpacing style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Verdana>Bad press,
including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President
Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans’ private health insurance to
cover the estimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government of
treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on
active duty.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNoSpacing style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Verdana>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..<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

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.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
