OH THE IRONY! Flag pin lady has a husband on disability, tons of medical debt. . . [View All]

[wndycty]

. . .borrows money from her 70 year old parents and she cares about a FUCKING FLAG PIN?

Again, her flag pin question reinforces what Obama said in San Francisco I said this in a thread last night when it was exposed that the was previously quoted in a NEW YORK TIMES article that was referenced on DU last night.

She has a ton of potential issues to be concerned about, but she cares about FUCKING FLAG PIN? Replay what Obama said in San Francisco and tell me what he said that was wrong. Hopefully folks won't only look to the McCabe question as a reason to question the press, but they will also look at the McCabe question as proof that what Obama said in San Francisco was right.

Unemployed, husband on disability, medical debt and she cares about whether or no Obama wears a FUCKING FLAG PIN?

SOMEONE, ANYONE, TELL ME HOW A FUCKING FLAG PIN will get this woman a job, get her husband off of disability, pay off her medical debt?

Why woman who grilled Obama finds him annoying

But to understand why Obama rubs McCabe wrong is to go beyond the question of what a flag pin has to do with patriotism - it's not really about the flag pin, she said in a telephone interview Thursday - and consider McCabe's life. It's no Hawaiian prep school and Ivy League story, unlike Obama's. It's a slice of working-class Pennsylvania, the core of Hillary Clinton's support there.

McCabe met her husband, Lloyd, in April 1983 at a dance. They married two months later. Six months after that, she says, he was injured in a coal mine accident. He hasn't worked since.

They never had children. He had back surgery. The muscle relaxers he took damaged his heart. He's had three bypasses, nine angioplasties, seven stents and a pacemaker. Three months ago doctors found a brain tumor. His choice: surgery that he may or may not survive, or life in a wheelchair.

Over 25 years of marriage, McCabe was the breadwinner. She said it took eight years to get her husband disability payments, during which time they racked up huge bills.
