The more things like this Obama does, the more I think he wants to exchange the title of president for the title of KING. Obama doesn’t want a military. The sooner our enemies defeat us (with Obama’s help) the sooner he gets to be crowned KING.

He thinks our wounded warriors SHOULD pay for their injuries through THEIR PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANY. Anyone joining the military in a combat roll would have their insurance at a much higher price, unless Obama makes it mandatory they all pay the same price. If he did that, then ALL OF OUR RATES WOULD GO UP.

I don’t care what it costs to take care of wounded warriors. They VOLUNTEERED to go out and do the fighting to keep ME free. I want them to have the best care possible for the rest of their life, no matter how much it costs. They paid for it first.

But below that there are links to other versions, including “.mp4 with Persian subtitles.” Persian is of course the language of Iran, so that is the version designed by the White House to be seen there.

Wow! I don’t why I am surprised by this. The same guy who hides the US flag can tell a joke about the Special Olympics…we sure got a “winner” for four years…?

Mark it is pretty big…as far as I am concerned it is huge…it is outrageous!

When are people going to wake up!?!

This man is no friend of the USA whatsoever in my opinion.

Excellent detail and what a great catch…good work as always from you.
