Hillary was always the favorite of the NY Times.


I thought they were calling her a racist for running against The One in 2008.

The left is ashamed now that they fell for the Hope & Change crap.

Sorry I cannot buy into that meme. Many many millions are still in awe of this TOTUS READING NATIONAL CLOWN and would die for him. Yes I said it. I do believe the RAT party will take a shellacking in 2014 but will retain the WH in 2016 unless the GOP-e can see their way to nominate a Cruz, Lee, or DeMint. Try your Bush or Christie routine and I guarantee you Hildebeast or another RAT will be in the WH IF Clown leaves.

Obama faces nothing. He’s mismanaged his way to the top and the Legacy Media is full of Progressive capons.

“As a candidate, Mr. Obama denounced delays and poor care for veterans at hospitals........”

Boom! I was thinking, based on the headline, this would be about Obama the victim, being challenged.

This dates back at least to 1986 when Jello Biafra penned this immortal words.

War is sexy
War is fun
Iron Ego
Red Dawn
Be a wolverine. You’ll rule the hills
Just get some guns and Cheerios
Any kid can conquer Libya
Just steal a fighter plane

Look who came home in a wheelchair
V.A. Hospital, they don’t care
“We’re the machine
You’re just a tool.”
Who fell for the myth of Rambozo the Clown

Of course, to guys like Jello, it’s only cool to protest wars when a Republican is in the White House.

Kudos to your mother for her dedication to her job and attempts at making improvements.

This year I started taking my 81-yr old father to Lyons VA Hospital in NJ and have nothing but good things to say about the staff. Fellow vets look after each other with a sense of caring and understanding that you don’t see anywhere else. They do a great job under difficult circumstances, and it’s sad that there are so many veterans who can’t be helped beyond a certain point. I’m sure it weighs on them plenty.

The problem is the management and bureacracy, which turns the VA process into the ninth circle of hell. Most of it seems to be administrative CYA but there is also plain old buffoonery. You can tell when some mid-level non-military twit adds a step in the process or changes a piece of paperwork, just to score points on their resume.

...threatening to engulf President Obama in another scandal...

Another scandal?

I thought that all the others were phony scandals.

First of all, he made speeches condemning the wait time for veterans to get care. Now he says he heard about it on TV.

Second, the NY Times says this is “another” scandal. Are they saying all the other scandals weren’t phony as obama claims?
