Meanwhile, a whole bunch ( including many of the sickest, who would have needed more care in many cases ) are neatly dispensed with by just letting them die. Yet another way of Transforming Amerika by weakening our defense forces (who is gonna sign up when this is how they’re treated?!) elections have consequences.
And Barack Obama’s response was
