Obama Drops Vet Insurance Plan; More Showdowns Loom

President Obama won style points from veterans' service organizations this week even as he was forced, under heavy fire, to withdraw his plan to have the Department of Veterans Affairs bill veterans' health insurance for the cost to VA of treating service-connected medical conditions.

"The issue should never have come up [and] he got a black eye out of it," said David W. Gorman, executive director of Disabled American Veterans Wednesday. "But we came out…very, very pleased that he had recognized the issue, he has listened to us, and he has taken heed of our advice."

All of the BS pet projects that could have been killed off to pay for this and yet, it took all of the veterans organizations to jump on them with both feet.

The money for this budget item is chump change considering all the stupid "let's study why monkeys like bananas" grants...

So, O makes nice by inviting them to the WH....I hope they aren't really that guillible.

Yea, that is good news, but David W. Gorman is a hypocritical, greedy, prick.

Okay, I'll believe ya. I haven't had any dealings with the DAV, although I really should join them.

Care to elaborate?

I'll refer you to this thread which nobody seems to give a shit about.
