Thank you Mr. President, and God bless you. This is exactly what I voted for.

"Paul Rieckhoff, Founder and Executive Director of Iraq and AfghanistanVeterans of America (IAVA) quotes:


"Today, the President's signature transformed VA care for America's veterans
forever. At the signing, I witnessed the President put an end to the rationing
of care for our country's veterans, even when Congress fails to deliver the VA
budget on time. This is a historic investment in the future of veterans'
health care that will benefit millions of American heroes. With this
legislation, politics can no longer stand in the way of VA funding and VA
Secretary Shinseki is more effectively set up for success.""

I second that. Excellent post! Glad to see some headway on the VA front, and by a Demo no less, good for him.

The Senate could not pass the VA budget because the democrats tacked on so many stupid things to the bill as all our filthy politicians do on both sides. So, Obama signed something. Nice, what's in it for him?

Go President Obama!

I love how no righties/Republicans came in here. This thread has been up for a while.

Come on righties. The president did the right thing!

This is a good thing. Let's not spoil it with a lot of partisan ranting.
