You lose any benefit you gained for being a decent soldier in the war in Iraq. First good health care, then decent insurance. And now educational benefits. 1 day on a piece of paper seperates these devoted Americans from their due. Note to America: You’re a little late to be outraged. This shit has been going on for years (it was going on in 1995 when I joined).
Fear not, however, for their souls will be sa – say what? Oh, so the biblethumpers in the military are now facing lawsuits. Hooray for progress. No worries, Blackwater will fill the ga – say what? An official probe has uncovered that Blackwater is liable for slaying civilians? Even MORE progress!
Remember when Bush said the economy was going to be fine while he was in office? How it was “doing well”? Then suddenly we had airlines declare bankruptcy and the health care industry kinda tripped? And then the mortage company facing massive defaults caused a slump in the real estate industry, which caused a massive loss and pain in the banking industry? And then we found out we’re going to be in debt in the Fed by over a trillion dollars? Well, it gets more complicated. Our dollar is being dumped left and right, and when China decides to dump the dollar and unpeg their currency, the deficit triples and Wal-Mart prices will be four times what they are now. Congratulations, Mr. President. You were completely and utterly WRONG. And all this goes on your record.
There are days when I look at Barack Obama and can’t forgive him for being a Democrat. Then there are days like these when he says something so intelligent and true that I’m pretty sure I’ll overlook that minor defect when I vote.
