Whatever it takes to kill off those pesky conservative voters, he’s full steam ahead.

Because he hates the US military.

The idea that people, this late in the game, still ask questions like this is mind boggling.

1. They don't care.

2. This is the treatment EVERYONE is going to get soon. Minus the elites.

3. The veterans are a problem in their eyes. The more that expire, the less they need to deal with later.

4. Obama could not fix anything if he wanted to, he's a incompetent tool who gets his marching orders from others.

And they have no problem finding resources to give freak soldiers sex change operations.

He is totally disinterested because he hates the military and conservatives, which military tend to be.

Secondly, he doesn't have a clue how to do it, if he wanted to. He is into organizing for tearing down, not building up.

Everything this uber fool (aka Clown Prince nobama) does is intentional.

But Private (Wo)Manning is getting pretty good treatment, isn’t she?

Because they’re just veterans, who are nothing more than handy props on campaign swings.

He hates Veterans. These are the guys who killed the heroic Red Chinese, NK’s, NVA’s, and VC, and Obama’s getting payback.

Well, the news today says he’s very angry about the reports of VA failings...

Not mad about the problems, actually, just that they’re being reported.

The problems can all be blamed on someone else, so he’s cool with that.

He hasn’t fixed it for all the reasons already posted, but mainly because -

IT ENTAILS WORK!

He doesn’t believe in hard work. Never has, never will. Believes in giving speeches and being admired by those he gives checks to every month.

It is an entire administration of the post- Greatest Generation. Never had to earn anything. Never had to sacrifice. Never understood the cost of Freedom.

Can’t relate to veterans.

One of his plans was to destroy the military. He started with making sure the leaders were communists and loyal to him. The veterans were of no concern to him and elimination of care was fine.

“he hates the US military”

It’s a mutual feeling. He is no friend to the old guard, even if he has installed some “perfumed warriors.”

My family lost my father this past Christmas day to pulmonary edema, partly due to complications from Agent Orange.
I heard from someone that Obama wanted to send us each a signed certificate of thanks (autopen I’m sure) for my Dad’s service.
My response was that I would do with it what I think he would have done with it: Once I determined who it was from, it would go straight into the `round file.’
So they didn’t send the certificate.
One of his favorite expressions was, `What goes around comes around.’
And it’s coming around. Two more years of this joker.

Obama bends over backwards to advance the cause of illegal aliens, criminals, terrorists, militant homosexuals.

He abandons veterans, special forces and ambassadors in Benghazi, any believers in God unless they are Muslim, anyone of Medicare age, Millennial, and a vast majority of Americans.

It is quite obvious his intentions and priorities and to pretend these are oversights is delusional. Anyone who believes this person or anyone in his party is incompetent, well-intention or has the best interest of the country at heart is so stupid they should be required to have a cork at the end of their so that they cannot hurt themselves.

Obam a or no Obama, the VA has always done this. To say otherwise is overplaying a hand, not to say that Obama shouldn’t have done something, or should not step up and say something.

We suspect, rightly, that if this were a different group, say if it were one Trayvon Martin, or illegal immigrants, or muslims or so, his reaction would be different.

But the VA has always been like this, I think. No one who’s paid attention is surprised.

But it IS single payer and a single payer problem. I have always said that Obamacare will make the VA look like the Mayo Clinic. And I meant with all of this taken into consideration.
