PhantomOnTour is correct when he says it is difficult to keep up with all the threads that have been started lately. Particularly if you choose to post logical well thought out replies like you know who rather than one liners like Tom.
Here is a link that lists twenty four laws, regulations or initiatives taken by the Obama administration to help veterans.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/veterans
Of course this does not include measures the administration attempted to pass which were thwarted by Republicans in Congress; such as the one mentioned by jognlope.

In the immortal words of Obama
My fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you. If you make more than $250,000, I'll tell you what you can do for your country.
My fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you. If you make LESS than $250,000, I'll GIVE you all I can to make your life more comfortable. Don't worry about working for it, we've got plenty to give, even if we have to borrow it from China.

Maybe you should direct us to the link for his collegiate transcripts.

Why do you need his college transcripts. He graduated magna cum laude, unless the prez of Harvard is lying, too.

Nope. That was Larry the Cable Guy who graduated "magna cum laude".....Obama can prove me wrong by producing his 'scripts. Till then...

Your insinuation was that Obama has done nothing special to help any vet and my question was do you have any proof that he's done nothing.

I didn't insinuate anything...I asked what he's done because I didn't know.

Yeah, he's really taken the election hard. Very emotional. Even worse than Tom, which is not an easy thing to do.

You guys are never happy. 
Everyone was certain that it would be a ghost town of conservatives sheepishly avoiding the reality of a King O Part II and were reassured that wouldn't be the case...

Valuist, forget those transcripts. I was lucky enough to find his Electoral College transcripts online! Let's take a peek while nobody's looking. 
2008 Electoral Votes:
Obama - 365
McCain - 173
2012 Electoral Votes excluding Florida:
Obama - 303
Romney - 206
Combined Electoral Votes:
Obama - 668
Repubs - 452
Damn! The way things are going stat-wise Obama may not get that 4th term!
