Obama Statements: I’m searching for the source…
Supposedly Obama made these statements. I would appreciate help in locating the source. I find this hard to believe and would like to find verified confirmation.
The alleged statements made by President Obama follow:
Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal.
“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.”
REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT… “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?”

2010 – Democrats Will Not Be The Only Ones To Get The BOOT…
It’s about time a shock was sent through members of Congress: However, I don’t believe that the American people really care whether they are a Democrat or a Republican. The people are starting to look at the man himself/woman herself, and weighing them on their individual performance.
The good of the people come first and Americans are tired of the same-o-same-o! So Congress members should not be voting for the purpose of saving their seat in Congress. We need to get rid of the old misplaced rules that are set in Congress, and get back to honesty, and a true desire to represent the people.
Analysis By Michael D. Shear – President Barack Obama speaks in the Rose Garden
…”Given the heated and often misleading rhetoric surrounding this legislation, I know that this was a courageous vote for many members of Congress,” Obama said Sunday, a nod to the 39 Democrats who voted against him. “Now it falls on the United States Senate to take the baton and bring this effort to the finish line.”
If he needed any reminder of how difficult that remains, the week began with a blunt message for his party from voters, who resoundingly rejected two Democratic candidates for governor and sent a shock through members of Congress who are up for reelection next year…
