Michelle Obama credits president for new G.I. Bill
To mark the end of combat in Iraq and the return of U.S. troops in time for the holidays, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama spoke at Fort Bragg, N.C., on Dec. 14, 2011.
Michelle Obama thanked service members and their families for their sacrifices and touted her husband’s work in supporting returning veterans.
She mentioned improved mental health care for veterans and tax cuts for businesses that hire veterans. She also said this of her husband: "He's helped more than half a million veterans and military family members go to college through the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill."
That makes it sound like the G.I. Bill was a major initiative of President Obama. But it was actually signed into law by his predecessor.
Then again, since when have these people ever shied away from lying?
