So apparently BO (aka Barack Obama) doesn’t think that our young American heros that defend our way of life are responsible enough to have a beer legally when they come home from battle. This from the AP:
Obama tells vets no lower drinking age
SCRANTON, Pa. – Democrat Barack Obama on Monday promised Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans help with their grievances — save one. “I know it drives you nuts. But I’m not going to lower the drinking age,” the presidential candidate said.
Army veteran Ernest Johnson, 23, of Connecticut, said one of the things that peeved him before he turned 21 was that he couldn’t come home and drink a beer — even though he was old enough to serve in the armed services and die for his country.
Obama told Johnson he sympathized, but that setting the legal drinking age at 21 had helped reduce drunken driving incidents and should remain.
Can you imagine this young hero sitting there having to listen to this jerk tell him he’s not responsible enough to legally have a beer!? Forget the fact that we’ve sent you overseas to defend our country… put the safety of all Americans in your hands… but , ahhh, no beer for you! The idiocy of left knows no bounds.
