Biden: contributing to Fisher House is no “Big $%^&ing deal” but posing with wounded warriors is
By Kevin “Coach” Collins
Joe Biden isn’t only a buffoon he’s a typically cheap liberal who is there for a photo op with our wounded warriors, but doesn’t see the need to contribute to a worthy cause like the Fisher House.
On Monday, November 23 Vice President Joe Biden and his wife hosted a well photographed early Thanksgiving Day dinner for two ambulatory wounded war fighters and their families. The Marine and Army Sergeant were recuperating at Walter Reed Hospital and their families were staying at the Fisher House guest facility on the grounds of the hospital.
Fisher Houses are private hotel rooms offered free of charge to the families of wounded warriors giving them a place to stay while visiting their loved one.
On Christmas Day Biden visited Walter Reed’s Fisher House for more handshakes and pictures doing what politicians do, but no more.
Looking closer
Recently released federal tax returns filed by Biden and his wife tell a story very different from the one he presents for the cameras.
The Bidens whose tax returns have regularly shown pitifully small charitable contributions did not do much better for 2009.
Their list of charitable donations included:
National Guard Summer camp $500 – the only military support item and $1,000 to various high profile funds to help the people of Haiti.
Nevertheless when it comes to contributing to the Fisher House system Biden lets his celebrity do the work or so he thinks.
Not even the fine example of his boss President Barack Obama who contributed $250,000 to Fisher House could move Biden. Not even the fact that his own son Beau Biden served in Iraq with the Delaware National Guard could move this typical liberal tightwad.
May brings thoughts of our war dead. Please honor them by donating to Fisher Houses: http://www.fisherhouse.org/contribute/contribute
It is not well understood but because our wounded warriors have to be hospitalized wherever there is a facility staffed by specialists to treat their particular wounds, they are sometimes sent hundreds or thousands of miles from their hometowns.
This causes major financial problems for the families involved. Fisher Houses lift this burden and contribute to the process of healing by making it possible for loving family members to be with our wounded men and women during their worst hours.
Fisher House which accepts no government money, will help you arrange a monthly donation that you’ll never regret and always be proud of. Take a minute to go to the Fisher House site above and donate today.
If you are disgusted by Obama’s snub of the Arlington Cemetery wreath laying ceremony, please show your feelings with a contribution to the Fisher House system.
The danger is real. Do something yourself because the Democrats won’t and the Republicans don’t have the power.
America is in real danger. Do something yourself because the Democrats won’t help us and the Republicans don’t have the power.
