Anyone believe this nonsense??
You should know that these Vets are my age -
Boomers all. To imagine that these men of honor would allow
themselves to be used by a man who cares nothing for the values of the nation
they fought to support, is beyond me.
Understand that Obama's approval numbers with the military
stand at 59% for and 35% against his work as Commander In Chief
(Rasmussen)
After the meeting, two of the three men were scheduled to be interviewed on a local conservative radio talk show. As it turns out, they were contacted by the Obama campaign and encouraged to not attend that interview -- and they promptly canceled.
As reported in the Obama
Foodorama Blog, Los Angeles Times, Tribune Washington Bureau pool reporter, Michael Memoli, was supplied bios of the 3 Veterans by the Obama campaign in the pool
report.

Dean says that health care is the issue that is most
important to him, particularly as he is getting older. He is also focused on
veterans-related issues and says he is grateful for the President’s commitment
to supporting veterans like himself.
-Mark Peterson from Portland
Mark is a retired veteran. He served in the Air Force and Air National Guard for 27 years, from 1966 – 1993. In the Air Force, he was rated as a Navigator and flew B-52s as an Electronic Warfare Officer and in the Air National Guard he was a Weapons System Officer in F-4s and F-101s. Following his service he worked as a CPA, and retired around 2006.

Mark is focused on health care and foreign policy. He is
thankful for his military benefits and Medicare coverage, but as the father of
two disabled children, he knows a lot of people who have had problems with
coverage, so he knows how important it is to have access to quality, affordable
health care.
-Thomas Foeller from Oak Grove
Tom is a retired Vietnam War era veteran. He enlisted in the Navy Reserves in 1967 during his junior year at Portland State University because he wanted to serve his country. He left the Navy Reserves as a lieutenant in 1976. He served for a total of nine years; four of those were active duty. He was a member of the Inshore Undersea Warfare Unit and spent six months stationed in Japan, then six months in Guam while on call to deploy to Vietnam. His unit never received the call to deploy.

Tom retried from a career in the housing industry six years
ago. At the time of his retirement, Tom was diagnosed with stage III rectal
cancer, during a routine physical. He believes that had the Affordable Care Act
– and the emphasis on preventative care – been in place a decade or two ago, he
would have caught his cancer earlier and could have saved tens of thousands of
dollars in healthcare costs.
The waitress who served the four men, told reporters that only one had been in the cafe, before, and none were "regulars."
Obviously, this was a contrived meeting, with the three prepared bio's being more the proof than anything. No doubt, there is a planned explanation to be offered, as "plausible deniability" kicks into high gear.
The mainstream does not have this story, as of yet. Let's see how long it takes to get into the Fox news cycle (at least).

Great to hear that all three of them had benefits because of their health care plans. Maybe they just stage this event to put an emphasis on the Obamacare that was recently changed.
ReplyDeleteNot a chance. It was all about politics and Obama's standing within the military community. They all had "benefits" because they are vets. You do know that the ObamaCare Tax Act has not been written, as of yet and "protects" none of the three men, for that reason?
