OT: Obama backs off plan to alter vets’ healthcare

Found via HotAir.

Thanks - but don’t count yer chickens yet, will you!
see this (from the link):
‘Jim King, the national executive director for American Veterans (AMVETS), said that the meeting with Rahm Emanuel lasted all of 15 minutes and that the health insurance issue was the only topic discussed. The representatives of the 11 veterans organizations told Emanuel they were not willing to back down, and the chief of staff told them that he thought the issue was “off the table,” but that he needed to talk to Obama.’
(Emphasis by me)

Rahm ‘thinks’ its off the table, because the vets tell him they won’t back down - but PB0 has not decided, Rahm ‘needs to talk to him’.

I hope the vets scared the living beyasus out of Rahm - whichever way this turns out, its verrrry interesting!
