Obama's Veteran MediScam
Obama tried to implement an increment of his socialized medicine by starting with our country's wounded warriors of the US military. Obama was trying to force private insurers to reimburse the Department of Veterans' Affairs for medical care given to troops injured in their service to their country.

In other words, a wounded soldier gets treatment via the Department of Veterans' Affairs and then the Department of Veterans' Affairs would shakedown the soldier's private insurance for payment rendered.

Sadly, Obama was going to use retired General Eric Shinseki, who he named as the Secretary of Veterans' Affairs, to politically push this criminal endeavor onto fellow soldiers.

Fortunately, veterans groups discovered the scam and brought loud and vocal opposition to it. When word got out that Obama was mistreating the very people that have given everything for this country he quickly sent out his inept spokes-hole, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

Gibbs, who is as just inept at what he does as what Obama does, tried to spin it as Obama listening to the concerns of veterans and dropping the scheme. The truth is Obama loathes the military. He does everything he can to demoralize our troops from predicting that the Surge in Iraq wouldn't work, to closing Gitmo, to ending the don't ask, don't tell policy, to cutting defense spending to pre-9/11 levels. The only reason Obama instructed the scam to be dropped is that he was caught and couldn't risk the political fallout.

Obama's approval rating is falling daily. Tonight, he's appearing on the Jay Leno show in an attempt to boost his sagging numbers.

How disgusting to have Obama stabbing our own heroes in the back.
