For some reason the American Government has never done even a passable job of taking care of their veterans. But this move by Obama smacks of both desperation and ruthlessness. If they need the money this bad then they should clawback on AIG for giving out gross bonuses worth several hundred million.
I kind of chuckled as our own Prime Minister got totally lambasted during the last election when he pointed out that there were good buying opportunities on the stock market due to the recession, yet Obama made the same speech a few days ago and he was saluted as being heroic and confident.
I always said at the start that there's no way that Obama is going to live up to his own hype. But he does make a pretty sound bite.
