If Obama Were President, He’d Take Care of Our Vets
Posted On 31 May 2016
Community organizer Barack Obama, in a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, honored America’s fallen soldiers while taking some thinly-veiled shots at the current administration. Speaking to a crowd gathered to mourn and remember their lost loved ones, Obama said the country needed to do more for living veterans.
“We have to be there not only when we need them, but when they need us,” said Obama, who some predict will run for president in the near future. “For us, the living, those of us who still have a voice, it is our responsibility – our obligation – to fill that silence with our love and gratitude. Not just with words, but with our actions.”
While some hoped to see the young Chicagoan address the failings of the current president more directly, Obama chose instead a more general tone.
“We have to make sure our veterans get everything that they have earned, from good healthcare to a good job,” he said. “We have to do better. Our work is never done.”
For many, the speech was yet another reason to crave change in Washington. It was impossible to listen to Obama talk without wondering what he might do to finally improve life for ailing veterans. If only a man with such integrity and heart were at the helm! Even if he only accomplished half of what he’s capable of, imagine how quickly he could turn the VA around!
Alas, it’s but a dream. For some reason, we keep electing the same old politicians instead of taking a chance on someone fresh and exciting like Barack Obama. This is a guy who understands what’s wrong with America. A man who values the military. Give this guy four years in the White House, and it’ll be smooth sailing for a generation.
President Barack Obama (no relation) could not be reached for comment.
This is a good example of how many politicians are all talk and no action.
Ginger, many politicians don’t bother to be all talk and no action. They are more concerned with how much money they can get out of our government for themselves! Haven’t you noticed that most of them come to their elected office and retire 20 years later millionaires all on a regular salary. How does that work?
Because they get rich taking bribes from all those willing to pay to get favor for legislation that will favor their companies. Then their is the insider trading! You may know it as what sent Martha Stewart to prison! And they keep passing laws that apply to all of us but exempt them from them!
all of them need to be replaced completely
Remember the Walter Reed scandal?
Who was president?
Who was Secretary of the VA?
Our ONLY, jailed, Secretary of the Veteran’s Bureau was Charles Forbes!
Harding was president!
Our ONLY president, to order our troops to fire upon our vets, was President Herbert Hoover!
Ever read about the BONUS MARCH?
Was it in our national interest, for BIG OIL to drill, at the US NAVAL OIL RESERVE at TEAPOT DOME?
Hey stupid; ALL the dimocraps should be i prison but the crooked DOJ run by an Obama butt kisser does NOTHING.
Now go stick your head in the toilet and flush three times; If you’re lucky it will act as an enema and flush all the bullshyte from between your ears.
Our ONLY, jailed, Secretary of the Veteran’s Bureau was Charles Forbes!!
Harding was president!!
Our ONLY president, to order our troops to fire upon our vets, was Herbert Hoover!
Ever read about the BONUS MARCH?

Do you report the money you make blo.wing hobos at a buck a swallow or is it all ‘under the dumpster’ income for you?
that was funny , meany
I try.
Our ONLY, jailed, attorney-general was Nixon’s first, John Mitchell!!
Our ONLY VP, to enter a plea bargain, was Nixon’s first, Spiro Agnew!
Our ONLY president, to receive a pardon, was Nixon!
Republican “law and order”?
INOPERATIVE!!
WOW why did hoover do that?
Why?
The vets marched because they wanted the government to honor its commitments!
Hoover wanted to keep the money!
He was president!
He gave the orders!
General MacArthur OBEYED!
General Eisenhower OBEYED!
General Patton OBEYED!
General Patton remembered!
He never trusted Washington politicians again!
He tried to keep the discovery of Hitler’s gold from them!
Motive for murder??
gonna look into this one
leave it to obummer and all trhe Vet’s will be done away with so his friends can invade the USA
This vet will never remember Obama, and his fellow anti-American Democrats, with anything but total disgust. He’s diverted tens of millions of dollars from the VA, and Social Security, to pay for massive handouts for his illegal immigrant constituents. I don’t know a single vet who still uses the VA so long as they have an alternative.
Lies, Lies, and More Lies. F**K obammy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so where in the hell have you in the seven and half years in office –scumbag.Oh! forgot you play balls with your putt putt such a disgrace to even make a comment like you did
Yo, People. Look at the date of this article. It is new.
Now, look at the last line of the article:
“President Barack Obama (no relation) could not be reached for comment. ”
Apparently two different Barak Obama’s? This is actually FUNNY.
Tell me if I’m reading it right. lol
yes you read it right {a mockery}
The writer is mocking the fact that the Obama running for president is not the same as the POTUS who
made all the huge promises to the Vets!
yeah…and a good point it made, too.
Obama, like HRC has lied to American people, passed so called laws (that only Congress should pass), etc. I had trouble with the VA taking care of my Uncles who were vets. Had to go the their Congressman for help.
Yea stupid I guess you would need to do more for the living ! Because the dead don’t need anything
Barack “OBOMBARDIER” Obama “FAILED” when it came to “PROTECTING” the Veterans when they came “HOME” from the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan!
Veterans should not have “DIED WHILE WAITING TO SEE A DOCTOR!” SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, ON HIS WATCH AS SENATOR OF ARIZONA, “ALLOWED” 40 VETERANS TO “DIE” WHILE WAITING TO SEE A DOCTOR AND THAT IS “REPREHENSIBLE!” SEN JOHN MCCAIN IS NO “HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” A “HERO” IS ALWAYS THERE FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO “SERVE” OUR COUNTRY AND JOHN MCCAIN IS NOT THAT “HERO!!!!”
“A VETERAN OF THE VIETNAM ERA WAR SERVING IN THE U. S. ARMY FROM 1968 – 1971!
A total disgrace for that POS to even address vets. C-in-C my A_S_S
And the same morons who elected him want to put Clinton in the White House? Insanity, and I don’t think they are expecting a different result.
Obama would’t give up a vacation for beheaded Americans, Christians can die by the thousands and he goes on a late night show. This man has never shown leadership, but will tell the world American isn’t as great as people think I see him as a lazy do nothing, un-American squatter in Our White House, suckling us dry with his idiotic plans to destroy us.
precisely what he’s doing Deb . It’s the “change” he meant{complete obliteration then transformation}
I do not know why Hillary says she wants to be our First Women to be President , She is late , Obama is not our President , He takes his advise from his Adviser and leader , Our nation is being ran by a Communist Valerie Jarrott Obama is just in there for the Ride and to say what the teleprompter tells him to say , Obama is brain Dead!
Red neck rantings, go get your GED’S! and get off of welfare and meth!
Zoe, these guys ranting are Military Vets not the welfare class. These are the same guys that protect you so you can make ridiculous statements like you did. There is a reason Obama has been elected as the worst president the USA has ever had. He is!
Ever hear of the Walter Reed scandal?
Who was president?
Who was Secretary of the VA?
Ever hear of corporate welfare?
Mind paying for that?
Zoe go back to drinking oblameo’s fruit punch. you haven’t a clue what you are talking about. And btw, I’m a Navy Vet who has never been on welfare or meth, unlike yourself.
Navy vet?
Was it tn the national interest, for BIG OIL to drill, at the UNITED STATES NAVAL OIL RESERVE, at TEAPOT DOME?
Ever hear of the USS REUBEN JAMES AND THE USS KEARNEY?
Those ships were attacked, by NAZI submarines, BEFORE the dastardly attack on PEARL HARBOR!
Any outrage from Trump?
Wow do ya think? What a waste of time
You know? This Obama is amazing in his quest to screw the people (Vets in this case) and tell them some BS lies to justify bad behavior on his part. What is truly astounding, is he expects us to believe it!
Just another Democrat who learned to say whatever it takes to get elected. Then they turn their backs and forget you exist! And look how many ignorant veterans and family members still vote for them! Do NOT listen to what they SAY, watch what they DO! The Democrat Party today is not the Party of JFK!
Ovomit is totally full of crap.
Lying, deceiving scoundrel!
Obama will get his reward one day cause GOD will judge him.
Obama, JUST like the Clinton’s HATE our military. He slammed the VFW people in recent days, then like the Lying Hypocrite Obama is, he invites certain military to OUR Whitehouse to give them a medal-ONLY for a photo op, to PRETEND he cares about them….HE doesn’t, and Benghazi proved it, when he could have sent troops to help the 4 Americans Killed, but Instead, HE LIED and Concocted ‘the excuse of a net movie and jailed the producer who made it(that no one even Knew about) and HE and Hillary PUSHED that narrative, along with the REST of his Crooked REgime(Rice, Panetta, Biden, etal)
This D. C. Cesspool of Corruption with these Liars Needs to be “Drained, and REMOVED of ALL THE FILTH….Of Both Inept Parties that “Went along with Obama in his Agenda, to “Weaken America, Stuff it with HIS Muslims and turning it into a DUMPING GROUND, Shred our Constitution/Bill of Rights, and Take Our Military to it’s LOWEST Numbers in YEARS.
He wants the “Equally Inept Hillary to become POTUS, so she can carry on with HIS Marxist Agenda and add to HIS Lying Legacy, as they continue “His Illegal Alien and Refugee INVASION of this Republic, as he puts American Citizens in Danger.” They have “Aided and Abetted OUR Enemies, like IRAN, that he gave millions to them to Continue to pursue their nuclear weaponry, EVEN as they chanted:
“DEATH TO AMERICA”
Too bad we didn’t HAVE a Congress that SHOULD have removed this traitor from Office a long time ago. Trump IS the only Answer to get this Republic Back On Track, OR, it will NOT survive another Crooked Democrat.
obama is doing his best he had his campaign contributors put up multi millions of dollars in Solar Panels to cover all the parking lots at the VA hospitals unfortunately there was only enough money left to bring 20 or 30 K Afghan Refugees here & none left for Doctors. Now waiting four months to see a Primary Care Doctor (Nurse Practitioner ) Have to many Medical problems for that wait will use Medicare
WHAT A JOKE THAT WAS!
Sadly, Obama isn’t our real president, Valerie Jarrett, the unelected Iranian Muslim is. This explains the calculated destruction of our nation, it’s heritage, history and the flooding of our reddest states with a tsunami of illiterate Muslim refugees of which some 90% are on the dole, the latter element a clear aspect of Cloward/Piven.
Right spot on! Jarrett has been the de facto president since day one. One cannot possibly believe Obama, who believes 2 hrs is a long work day, wrote all those EOs and memos. The voice on the phone giving the stand down order for Benghazi was Jarrett. The highest level in government that gave the order to assassinate LaVoy Finicum was none other than Jarrett. Valerie Jarrett is Obama’s first brain and John Obama Brennen is his second brain and hit man. Assisted suicides and exploding Mercedes are his forte.
Another lie! There are so many you will lose count.
I have a lot of friends whom are veterans, but I will go out on a limb here. I don’t think it is right for people who are in the service for a couple of years to be eligible for a lifetime of free medical care, and other benefits. These are not the “wounded warriors, but in my eye, freeloaders.
Talk about entitlement? I know veterans who make appointments with drs to increase their monthly income to get milage checks. I believe the solution would be to make it a minimum of ten years service to be eligible for military benefits. Sorry, but they are bloodsuckers, like others who who feel they are entitled. Let give higher wages to those who serve, and eliminate the free ride.
one lying SOB screw you obama and take your cassia clay and shove the trader up your ass
This pathetic Kenyan Muslim Gay Boy is in full lying mode as usual! This Fool has been in office for almost eight years and has done nothing but screw our military, cut fund, equipment, benefits, and given them to his Illegal Criminal Maggots and Islam! I am hoping that one day soon, Obama will be visiting his ISIS JV Team, that he and Hillary ARMED & FUNDED from Benghazi, and the meeting is taken out with a drone! Now that would be awesome, the death of this traitor! I can’t wait until President Trump takes the Helm and sics his DOJ on Obama and Hillary. I do think we will see them both go to prison, as they so very much deserve! TRUMP/TRUE PATRIOTS 2016!
To simplify matters, Obama is a flaming faggot cross dressing girly/man that is the real deal as a complete cowardly imbecile, the country would be so much better off without his kind. This is the very worst president in the history of our country, January 2017 can’t possibly come to soon.
ALL Vets the message is clear VOTE TRUMP, as Hillary will continue O numb nuts policies. What happened to the investigation on all of the wrong doing and the supposed fixing of the program about 6 months ago. Your Muslin Leader and his blonde sidekick, have no respect for Vets or anyone else in this country. They view you as a vote only, once they get in Office it is all about the special interest groups.
Our Fearless Leader is, as usual, a liar and a crook. He would lie if someone gave him $1,000 to tell the truth. He wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him on the butt. Remember his idea to “make the soldiers pay for their own healthcare, because they volunteered for this”. Some positive advocate, isn’t he?
The writer paints with a broad brush of negativity. Countless VA hospitals have no superior same quality hospitals in the private sector. The author fails to point the chronic tight fisted policies of Congressional Republican budget writers who ever increasing amounts to Defense and Corporate welfare and deprive everything else. Place responsibility where it belongs on Republican congressional budget writers..
We’ve given Ovomit 8 yrs & he’s been the biggest joke ever played on the American people. Words may have flown eloquently from his mouth but his actions don’t match. He favors illegals over our veterans. All I can say is I’m HOPING for a CHANGE come Nov. A big change & I don’t mean Killary.
Now he has a press secretary say his research has discovered the cure for old person ailment. He keep the world from financial clasp.
