So, has he blamed the whole thing on Bush yet?

I listen to his hip-hop delivery style and all I can hear is “Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah you’re all a bunch of suckas, I’m the head MF what’s in charge, tough noogies!”

O: I am going to get to the bottom of this, when I get the reports from the VA. And those which don’t show significant improvement will get a big F on their grade sheet. I takes this seriously. Those reports must be double-spaced with 1-1/2 inch margins and page numbers at the bottom of the page. I will not stand for any report to fail to have a viable table of contents and effective index!

O doesn’t know whether other facilities have been cooking the books ...

FoxNews showed similar ‘list’ problems and double lists in about 7 states. FoxNews anticipates that more state will be added as prospective ‘whistleblowers’ feel they have cover to reveal the situations in their respective states/facilities.

O needs to start listening to FoxNews, since he apparently only knows what is going on in the world from the cable news networks and newspapers.

My wife and I were outside at about 7 am this morning doing outside chores, so we could walk and shop later today.

We came inside a little after 8 am PDT, and she turned to our local Fox TV station. Instead of the local station stuff, there was the Liar in Chief lying about the VA. She turned it off quickly.

Obama: Any misconduct at VA will be punished

WASHINGTON — Seeking to head off a growing furor over veterans’ health care, President Barack Obama declared Wednesday that allegations of misconduct at Veterans Affairs hospitals are “dishonorable” and will be not be tolerated by his administration.

“I will not stand for it — not as commander in chief but also not as an American,” Obama said following an Oval Office meeting with embattled VA Secretary Eric Shinseki.

“We are going to fix whatever is wrong and so long as I have the privilege of serving as commander in chief, I’m going to keep on fighting to deliver the care and the benefits and the opportunities that you and your families deserve, now and for decades to come,” Obama said.

Obama’s statement marked his first public comments on the matter in more than two weeks. Last week, he dispatched his deputy chief of staff Rob Nabors to the VA to oversee a review of department policies and ordered him to report back to the White House next month.

Nabors first joined the Office of Management and Budget, straight out of graduate school, as a program examiner in 1996. Assigned to the Bureau’s commerce branch, he was given responsibility for the decennial census, and while he was working on that task, he was recognized as a “budding wunderkind” by OMB Director Jacob Lew, who promoted him to special assistant to the director in 1998. In 2000, he was further promoted to assistant director for administration and executive secretary.

In February 2010 Nabors, became senior advisor to then-White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, who is now the Mayor of Chicago.

In November 2011, Nabors was included on The New Republic’s list of Washington’s most powerful, least famous people.

Nothing to see here.

The Low Information Voters will eat this up. Obama and the Dems know this.

Maybe the money was stolen, er taken from the VA programs to help fund the large upcomeing and increasing Obozo Care Costs for the health insurance companies?

Federal funds earmarked to offset Affordable Care Act insurer losses (Too Big to Fail)

Posted by longtermmemmory

he Obama administration has quietly adjusted key provisions of its signature healthcare law to potentially make billions of additional taxpayer dollars available to the insurance industry if companies providing coverage through the Affordable Care Act lose money..

The move was buried in hundreds of pages of new regulations issued late last week. It comes as part of an intensive administration effort to hold down premium increases for next year, a top priority for the White House as the rates will be announced ahead of this fall’s congressional elections.

Administration officials for months have denied charges by opponents that they plan a “bailout” for insurance companies providing coverage under the healthcare law. ...

I didn't watch...was he as mad as he was when he found out someone took Air Force One for a joy ride around The Statue of Liberty?

He found out about that when he saw it on the in-flight TV programming.

Call your Senators and Congresscritters, express your outrage amd call for Shinseki’s resignation.

How can Shinseki investigate his own department? The faux outrage by Obama was sickening in his statement.

My arms are in traction from using my middle fingers the whole time he was speaking, err aaahh, lying.

I think the lesson to be learned is obvious—get rid of the VA. Commie care doesn’t work. Why send our patriotic veterans to communists for health care? That makes no sense at all.
