White House deputy chief of staff Rob Nabors will be temporarily assigned to the VA to work on a review focused on policies for patient safety rules and the scheduling of patient appointments, officials said Wednesday.

If you had said that 10 years ago, I would have laughed. Now? You may very well be right. I have no doubt the communists would like to do that. They do, however, have a problem. It is called the second amendment. They can not do this until they have a successful gun grab.

When Obama does this, the MSM yawn.

Remember what happened when Chris Christie issued an internal report exonerating him from the bridge closure?

Everybody cried foul!
