Obama on Mental Health

Today, Senator Obama said that he would invest hundreds of millions of dollars for the mental health care of our troops and veterans. Seems fit for the Memorial Day weekend. This weekend is the time for us to remember those who've given their lives for our country. Obama's speech for the improvement of the mental health care of our troops now should score him big points with the veterans and those who strongly support our troops. He's using this weekend to bring in support from the highest demographic of U.S. voters. Its been proven that the biggest demographic of U.S. voters are the elderly/older people. It's funny because I've never heard of Obama and his stance on mental heath until today, and it happens to fall on Memorial Day weekend. Anyways, candidates say things for certain crowds and usually promises made pre-victory are often sketch.

Man, I have a buddy who was fighting in the first desert storm and he has told me some crazy stories about the fighting and how his employers treated him when he got disch-arged...

Over 15 years later, he is still kind of "intense!"
