Well, this ol' "carin' for th' folks" President, Hussein O, wanted to require veterans to carry private health insurance to cover their injuries. Yes sir, this fella wanted to offset th' almost $600 million annual cost to th' veterans. Of course, when "his" networks began to complain, then, and only then, did he forget about it. Here is what th' ol' boy had to say:
"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." Talk about arrogance!!! And this is comin' from an ol' boy that never even served one single day. And this is our COMMANDER IN CHIEF??? The head of the defense of our country? Yowsa! Brother, we goin' down, unless he's goin' out! God bless America!
Now, Gunnery Sgt Michael Burghardt, known as 'Iron Mike' or just 'Gunny' is one of those veterans that Mr. Hussein O is talkin' 'bout. He is on his third tour in Iraq. He had become a legend in the bomb disposal world after winning the Bronze Star for disabling 64 IEDs and destroying 1,548 pieces of ordnance during his second tour.
On September 19, he had arrived after a bomb had killed four soldiers. This time he chose not to wear his bomb protection suit. "You can't react to any sniper fire and you get tunnel-vision," he explains. So, with just a helmet and a standard-issue flak jacket, he began what bomb disposal officers term 'the longest walk'. He stepped into a 5 foot deep and 8 foot wide crater.
The earth shifted slightly and he saw a bomb base with a wire leading from it. He cut the wire and used his 7 inch knife to probe the ground around him. "I found a piece of red detonating cord between my legs," he says.. "That's when I knew I was screwed." Realizing he had been sucked into a trap, Sgt Burghardt, 35, yelled at everyone to stay back. At that moment, an insurgent, probably watching through binoculars, pressed a button on his mobile phone to detonate the secondary device below the sergeant's feet "A chill went up the back of my neck and then the bomb exploded," he recalls. "As I was in the air I remember thinking, I don't believe they got me... I was just ticked off they were able to do it. Then I was lying on the road, not able to feel anything from the waist down."
The photo above depicts his defiance. It was taken by Jeff Bundy for the Omaha World-Herald. Most of this my information came from there also.
Sgt Burghardt's injuries - burns and wounds to his legs and buttocks - kept him off duty for nearly a month and could have earned him a ticket home. But, like his father - who was awarded a Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts for being wounded in action in Vietnam - he stayed in Ramadi to engage in the battle against insurgents who are forever coming up with more ingenious ways of killing Americans.
OBAAAMA! OBAAAMA! OBAAAMA! Yeah he's in there now! But if this ol' boy thinks for a minute that he'll get any more support from our servicemen and women, past and present, well then, his bread just ain't quite done! There's worms in his peaches! His noggin' is boggin'! Th' boy is wacko!
'Course Hussein, if ya really want to cut costs, then how 'bout you drop fundin' for th' spotted owl, th' lil' minnows in California, Pelosi's Pond, your czars, free Congressional health insurance, Congressional salaries after they are retired, private companies, Freddie & Fanny, Social Security employee retreats, Congressional vacations, and replace th' IRS with a sales tax. No, not those! Those would make too darn much sense! It's better to ruin th' moral of every single serviceman & woman that we have protectin' us. Obama, YOU ARE NO FRIEND OF MINE and you are certainly not my President!
…………..and there ya have some more opinions from TH' DUMB OL' EAST TEXAS BOY. Oh, an y'all keep on spreadin' th' word and remember: "IN 2010, WE WON'T SEE THEM AGAIN!!!!" And in 2012 "Well hush my mouth! Obama's goin' south!"
