Barack Obama is on record as being furious over the needless deaths in Veterans Administration hospitals. Hes not furious because he loves veterans, to the contrary, Barack Obama is furious at being been caught in yet another lie.
By his own admission Obama knew there were problems in the VA in 2007. In 2008 even before he first took office, Obama was made aware of the problems in the VA hospital system. His response was to appoint Eric Shinseki whose only qualification was that he is Americas first Asian American four star general, as the new head of the Veterans Administration.
Like so many of Obamas appointees to other top positions, Shinsekis qualifications for his job were his skin color and Party registration. Democrats dont need qualifications because Democrats dont respect anything except Party political power. Thus incompetent Four Star Fake Eric Shinseki was perfect for the VA. And since Democrats dont do patriotism...

Obama is worried that the sheeple may see the connection between government incompetence running the VA medical system and what would happen if we ever go to the liberals’ dream of socialized medicine for everyone.

Gen (Ret) Eric Shinseki “exposed” his depth of critical thinking many years ago, while on active duty. He attended a change of command ceremony at USSOCOM (US Special Operations command) and notice how all of the men and women participating in the ceremony stood so tall and proud. He decided that the cause of all this pride was the berets they wore.
That’s right he latched on to the visual symbol of the pride. He ignored what those berets said about the people that wore them. He ignored the failures of 90% of the volunteers who stepped forward to compete for the honor of wearing a beret. I ignored the months of intensive training, mental, physical, and emotional. he ignored the horrendous TDY schedules around the world both into and out of live combat zones. He ignored the KIA and WIA numbers.
but, by God, he noticed and focused on those fancy berets.
After he got back to the five-sided playpen (aka the Pentagon), he directed that everyone in the Army would wear a beret. He even forced the Ranges to change the color of their berets.
Any questions about the root cause of his miserable performance at the VA?
Yeah, I was thinking he was a lousy active duty general.
Shinseki was the guy who tried to make part of the Army into the Marines. That’s how the Army got the Stryker. That was the vehicle designed to be transported by C-130 and ready to fight as soon as it was unloaded.....only it can’t.
