Even worse, he gave this reply after the draft remarks were embedded in a racist screed whining that immigrants get TOO MUCH health care while the VA shits on veterans(which is true of the VA, of course)

Here are two links on liberal blogs to the same story:

have we heard Obama say he wouldn't support a draft? One of his buddies, the corrupt and incompetent buffoon Democrat Charles Rangell of New York, has advocated bringing back the draft for years. Has Obama renounced him?
