The controversial booklet, "Your Life, Your Choices" has been dubbed "the death book" by some commentators due to its subject matter and method of presentation in advising veterans on end-of-life decision-making. "While The American Legion does not believe this publication is in any way designed to influence veterans to end their lives prematurely," said Rehbein, "we can understand how some might interpret it that way, At best, it is an awkward attempt to help."

I may just repost this a couple of times since G-man is throwing one of his tranny posting fits.


Zick, you seem to think that the above press release somehow how exonerates Obama or otherwise attacks Michael Steele. It doesn't.

In the full press release, the Legion Commander calls the the death book a "controversial publication" which "can be easily ... appear insensitive... the release of this publication demonstrates poor planning."

He also says that "we can understand how some might interpret" the book as "designed to influence veterans to end their lives prematurely."

So, in the end, you've cited two sources to try and excuse Obama's death book: a partisan fringe group (which you attempted to falsely portray as a non-parstian veterans' organization) and a mainstream one that, far from defending the President, said the book was open to exactly the interpretation that we've cited and called the decision to release it "poor planning."

And if the best defense you've got here is an admission that the federal government engages in "poor planning" when providing government-funded health care then you might as well give up right now.
