In 2006, Obama voted for two amendments to increase funds for veterans' medical care by $1.5 billion and expand funding for Department of Veterans Affairs outpatient treatment by $450 million. McCain voted no on both; the veterans' medical care amendment died; the outpatient treatment amendment passed.

Obama introduced a bill in April 2007 to provide housing for low-income veterans (Homes for Heroes Act). Again, McCain didn't show up for the vote.

Now who is supporting veterans?

"Lets send this asshole back to one of his 7 homes. "

Veterans are not behind McCain 100% and far from it. They know his record on voting on vet benefits. Obama was one of 57 co-sponsors (along with Joe Biden) of the Webb GI Bill, signed into law June 30. McCain not only did not support the bill, claiming it was too generous, but also didn't even show up in the Senate to vote on it.

McCain is anti-veteran. He opposed the new G.I. Bill. He benefited from it, but I guess he didn't think this generation of veterans should.

Obama has done MORE for Veterans ! McCain is for the Corporations ... (I'm sure he got a nice kickback from the makers of NAPALM which he dropped on innocent Vietnamese WOMEN & BABIES and probably enjoyed when their skin was burning ... just as much as he enjoyed telling his hospital bed-ridden wife" hey I found a slut named Cindy to be my wife ... " Hero??? hero ? my ass !
