“If these allegations are true…”

Often there is one iconic picture that captures the essence of a Presidential administration; Gerald Ford falling, Richard Nixon entering the helicopter, Ronald Reagan riding a horse. The above image is the one history will use for the Obama administration. I was going to put this up as a Most Wanted and then I decided against it. I wanted to once more emphasize what a deceitful lying sack of manure our President is and leave it out for a while so the stench can find its way into the nostrils of the agnostic left.

By now we all know about the VA scandal.

We all know that this is a prelude to what Obamacare will look like.

And we all know that this is going the way of all the other scandals. If there was any doubt as to that Obama himself removed it when he said:

"So, if these allegations prove to be true, it is dishonorable, it is disgraceful, and I will not tolerate it, period,”

If?

IF????

As Jake Tapper said:

"How many dead veterans do you need?"

Several weeks of Obama silence about the scandal passed during which Obama most likely hoped this would go away and undoubtedly sat down with Valerie Jarrett to decide how he should feel about it.

So what does one do when one needs something to be buried? One delays it, just as he has done with Obamacare. And what will the means be to delay this scandal?

Investigations

"But we have to let the investigators do their job and get to the bottom of what happened.”

Hold on a minute. If these are mere allegations and might not be true, what is it Obama finding "disgraceful" and "dishonorable"? What is it that he won't "tolerate"?

He is full of shit. There's no other way to put it.

Obama knew about the trouble at the VA in 2008. He campaigned on it. He ripped Bush about it.

“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.”

We have also learned Obama rewarded with bonuses those who allowed the vets to die.

Sharon Helman, the director of the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care System, "got an $8,500 bonus last month while there was an open [inspector general] investigation into Phoenix," Chairman Miller told CNN's Jake Tapper in an interview Wednesday.

It had been previously reported that Helman received more than $9,000 in bonus pay in 2013 on top of her annual salary of $169,900. The VA office of inspector general began investigating the Phoenix VA for wrongdoing in December 2013, months before Helman received the additional $8,500 bonus.

Government rewards with bonuses those who can save it money. The bonus apparently has been rescinded once the media caught wind of this mess, but not before.

Over at the National Journal Ron Fournier asks the question

"How Dumb Does Obama Think We Are?"

as if to distance himself from the rest of the lapdog media.

The libs hate veterans anyway so what is happening in the VA hospitals is just good riddance' as far as they are concerned. I think that's why Obummer ignored what was going on in the hospitals, -he just thought 'good riddance'.

Truth is not relevant, it is the seriousness of the charges that require thorough examination.

Even before that...
