      jean, aren't you the one that thought that Weiner's account was hacked? A vast right-wing conspiracy!

    HERE IS OBAMA'S RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO REQUIRE THE MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES.

    "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."

    SAVE AMERICA ... DUMP OBAMA !!!

    Howard's quote is fiction, from an email circulating the web:
    http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_obama_accuse_veterans_of_selfishness_and.html

    Misquoted, misrepresented, and about a financial model that never even got proposed.
