CNN to White House: "How many dead veterans do you need?"

[PaintMyHouse]

And Obama LEARNS about VA from the MSM???

Spying on the VA is not the kind of spying we do on Americans.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

Aren't Americans tired of this know nothing till press tells Obama what he should know?

He should have known the VA in Phoenix was cooking the books? He has people for that and it doesn't sound like they knew either. Welcome to the real world.

Then-Senator Barack Obama, November 12, 2007: “After seven years of an Administration that has stretched our military to the breaking point, ignored deplorable conditions at some VA hospitals, and neglected the planning and preparation necessary to care for our returning heroes, America’s veterans deserve a President who will fight for them not just when it’s easy or convenient, but every hour of every day for the next four years.”

Obama was right...unfortunately they are still waiting for the president they deserve.

Obama warned about VA wait-time problems during 2008 transition - Washington Times

Yet did nothing about it.

Yet in his speech today he claims he did, as they have gotten better. Dense is all I can say.

Sorry, but that doesn't fly. He's responsible for his subordinates' actions and failures. If his subordinates aren't doing their jobs, it's on Obama for not keeping them to task (nevermind that he complained about the VA and veteran healthcare while a senator and on the campaign trail). Military commanders get relieved all the time over actions they personally aren't aware of, but subordinates allow to happen because of neglect.

The buck stops on Obama's desk.

Obama held assignments on the Senate Committees for Foreign Relations, Environment and Public Works and Veterans' Affairs through December 2006.[91] In January 2007, he left the Environment and Public Works committee and took additional assignments with Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs

"We knew nothing, it's not a big deal, we're handling it, nothing to see here, move along"

Sorry. I've looked all over the interwebs. Can't find a link for that quote.

Maybe it's in one of the fifteen other threads on this subject?

He was warned about it by his transition team in 2008, even before he took office.

He knew about it when he was in the Senate. He was on the Senate Committee...
