Obama’s Woes With VA Problems Expand to a Lying VA Secretary
Canada Free Press ^ | 02/25/15 | Judi McLeod

Obama is the most incompetent, lying and untrustworthy, not to mention questionable ethics and suspicious dereliction of character ever to hold high office

Only mere weeks into the scandals of Veterans Administration’s improper handlings and bingo; the story gets more odorous when Obama’s hand-picked Secretary of that federal agency admits he lied about his own military service.

I have to ask you, the general public, is there anything this usurper of America’s highest executive, administrative, elected officer has done in a proper and legitimate way? I hear you now and I agree, he is the most incompetent, lying and untrustworthy, not to mention questionable ethics and suspicious dereliction of character ever to hold high office.

He could put his hand into an unopened fresh bag of peaches and always withdraw a rotten apple. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, as recent as a few days ago, stated in a FoxNews.com column that President Obama is “incapable of being commander-in-chief of the United States of America.”

It was a bizarre thing for the guy to say, he was an Airborne Captain with a Ranger tab, for him to say that he was also a Green Beret when talking to the homeless guy claiming to be a Green Beret, is baffling.

He could have said that he was a Ranger, or Airborne, of perhaps mentioned some connection to Special Operations, but “Special Forces”?

Has anyone looked into the homeless guy?

No other government agency could get away with treating people like the VA treats Veterans.

All together now! Let’s recite the VA Motto!

Delete, Delay, Deny And Let Them Die To Make Our Bonuses Go High! High! High!

Is there nobody in public life or the government anymore who is honest and doesn't tells lies? Waiting...waiting...waiting...

Never mind. I think I answered my own question.

I think a full page of descriptive adjectives would not be enough to describe this poser of a president. I would never have believed that seemingly sane people could elect such a sorry excuse as this guy has been,& then after having done that,stand by & re-elect the clown & never admit to any of his missteps. The same people,of course,have no problem explaining everything that Bush did wrong. One of the things Obama has accomplished more than any other politician,& that is to divide the country. He’s done a swell job of that.

No, he couldn’t say he was a Ranger. There is a difference between going to Ranger School and serving in a Ranger unit. I know, I’ve done both. That being said, the guy needs to be fired for being a liar, but we all know that no one in this admin is ever held into account for their actions.

Yes, I know there is a difference, but he could have said he was a Ranger when talking to a homeless guy, because he is one, but to make the mistake of calling himself SF, is bizarre.

The Army counts the tab wearer as being a Ranger, as well as the scroll, but the tab alone does not put one in Special Operations, only the scroll does that.

When I wan in 2nd Ranger Bn, we looked at guys with a Ranger tab, but not in Bn as Ranger qualified, not a Ranger. That was reserved for guys serving in Ranger units. Just my 2 cents.

They are entitled to call themselves Rangers although when in the Army, they would almost certainly call themselves tabbed, and more relevantly, especially after being out of the service and talking to a homeless vet, as the opening line to a conversation.

I understand that, I’m just going by how we differentiated those who just went to Ranger school, and those who served in the Ranger Regt or Ranger School Cadre. That being said, my utmost respect to most of the guys that did one or the other, or both. As this assclown has demonstrated, we get our dirtbags too, though we try and weed them out.

I’m well aware of the difference, but legal is legal, and in this case he could have opened with being a Ranger or that he was Airborne, or had served in the 82nd, but it was very, very odd for an Army officer to say what he said.

How can any Army officer accidentally call himself a Green Beret?
