Let’s start a bet on how many minutes late he will be. I’ll go 26 minutes.
As Rush said, this does not touch Obama. Benghazi, IRS, Fast-n-Furious, all touch him personally, but his does not. So, Zero will act outraged.
I won’t watch...will follow this thread.
I can’t stannd to watch him lie wheen his lips move. I’ll wait and let Rush tell me what to think about :-)
A day after claiming the president learned from TV news reports of accusations that as many as 40 veterans died while waiting for treatment at a Phoenix VA hospital, White House press secretary Jay Carney said the burgeoning scandal is “not a new issue” to Mr. Obama.
“The president, as we all know, has been talking about the issues and challenges facing VA since he was a candidate. And it was precisely those problems that had been identified and discussed in 2006, 2007 and 2008 that he spoke about as a candidate and that led him to commit to increased resources,” Mr. Carney told reporters. “So no, this is not a new issue to the president. That’s why he has been focused on it since he’s been president.”

Jay Carney needs to be fired for lying about this.
0bama announces a time figuring that the television audience will tune it . . . then he purposely arrives so late that most of the viewers have lost interest and gone on to something else. Then he speaks to a handful of the original number. Easier to deny he said something if all they have is tape . . . didn’t happen. He seems to get away with that all the time.
He’ll bring out one of his, “Fill In The Blanks” speeches
Then-Senator Barack Obama, November 12, 2007: “After seven years of an Administration that has stretched our military to the breaking point, ignored deplorable conditions at some VA hospitals, and neglected the planning and preparation necessary to care for our returning heroes, America’s veterans deserve a President who will fight for them not just when it’s easy or convenient, but every hour of every day for the next four years.”
Every hour of every day? Really?
obozo will be late for sure. obozo has to read Free Republic so he knows what to say before coming out to spread his lies. obozo thinks spreading his lies will make him sound more believable by reading Free Republic. It will not work though. We are on to him. It is a dummycrat thing of reading Free Republic to try and see what should be said to make themselves believable. Btw, it never works for them though. Dummycrats lie too much.
We need to capitalize on this and equate VA with single payer. Everybody just start calling it the VA “single payer” system.
He will give his commentary/speech and that will take care of that.
Next issue.

Doesn’t make any difference how ‘madder than hell’ he is or how many red lines or how many promises to cut red tape. Five minutes after this issue is off of the front pages, he will ‘move on’ and will expect his media cohorts to do the same.
Here’sssssssssssssssss Barry!

Reading his speech. Not showing much emotion. Couldn’t tell by his demeanor that he is ‘madder than hell’ that this issue ever came to light.
==
‘I will not stand for it’ ... cooking the books, etc.
“IF” these allegations are true, I will not stand for it!
[IF ?????????????????]
Ohhhhh. Some people have already been put on administrative leave. [a.k.a., vacation]
yada yada yada
Problems have been going on for a decade [blame predecessor]. He has been working to fix these problems since he became president — ‘been working really hard’ no less.
0bama hates veterans . . . they are responsible for killing many of his brothers in the muslim hood.
Miami VA Whistleblower Exposes Drug Dealing, Theft, Abuse
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – When asked why he would risk his job and speak publicly, Detective Thomas Fiore considered the question carefully before answering.
“People are dying,” he finally said, “and there are so many things that are going on there that people need to know about.”
Fiore, a criminal investigator for the VA police department in South Florida, contacted CBS4 News hoping to shed light on what he considers a culture of cover-ups and bureaucratic neglect. Among his charges: Drug dealing on the hospital grounds is a daily occurrence.
“Anything from your standard prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet, and of course marijuana, cocaine, heroin, I’ve come across them all,” he explained.
Even inside the hospital, he says he was stopped from doing his job – investigating reports of missing drugs from the VA pharmacy. When the amount of a particular drug inside the pharmacy doesn’t match the amount that the pharmacy is supposed to have, a report, known as a “discrepancy report” is generated. Normally it was his job to investigate the reports to determine if they were the result of harmless mistakes or criminal activity. But all that changed, he said, about two years ago.
“I was instructed that I was to stop conducting investigations pertaining to controlled substance discrepancies,” he recalled.
He said he was personally told to stop investigating them by the hospital’s chief of staff, Dr. Vincent DeGennaro.
