Barack Obama actually said...

"One thing that reform won't change is veterans' health care. No one is going to take away your benefits. That is the plain and simple truth."

"America's commitment to its veterans are not just lines on a budget, they are bonds that are sacred, a sacred trust we're honor bound to uphold."

"I'm honored and humbled to stand before you as Commander in Chief of the finest military the world has ever known."

"Today, the story of your service is carried on by a new generation, dedicated, courageous men and women who I have the privilege to lead and meet every day."
