(CNSNews.com) - Amid increasing pressure from both Democrats and Republicans for President Obama to say something about the unfolding scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the president finally did so on Wednesday.

"I know that people are angry and want swift reckoning. I sympathize with that," Obama said. "But we have to let the investigators do their jobs and get to the bottom of what happened. Our veterans deserve to know the facts; their families deserve to know the facts. Once we know the facts, I assure you, if there is misconduct it will be punished."

The very man who called G.I.’s ‘babykillers’, as both an Illinois AND a U.S. Senator, just can’t wait for us, who did our duty and love America as it was, before the Queer-in-Charge got in, to just die off.

Excellent catch. Thanks. Here's a link with the various English translations. The muslim god is ever so beneficent and merciful (strangest definition of bloodthirsty I've ever seen).

I was thinking along the lines of "recompense", as in Isa 66.6

A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord rendering recompense to his enemies:

Deu 32.35. To me belongs vengeance, and recompense when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste:

Here's another angle:

"The Midrash compares Amalek to a dog. Rabbi Yitzchak of Volozhin explains that a dog, when struck with a stick, sinks its teeth into the stick. It fails to realize that its real opponent is the person wielding the stick. So too, Amalek's error is that they view all worldly events at face value. They refuse to perceive the secondary forces which cause every event to occur. They only see the stick, and not the master who brandishes it."

Obama is the latest gilgul. The gallows (obamacare) he is constructing for Mordecai (a man who is a symbol for people who tell the truth and warn of danger) he is unwittingly building for himself and all of his sons.

"The two-snake caduceus design has ancient and consistent associations with trade, eloquence, trickery, and negotiation."

He parsing what about says, since he never actually means what comes out of his mouth....

It could be that he's so cold that he's saying what he thinks people want to hear, knowing that eventually they'll leave him alone and let him get back to burning down Rome.

Eggactly....

Sort of like a husband bring nagged by his wife and just says what she wants to hear...

I truly believe he looks down on the people of this country because "we" don't understand his magnanimous sacrifice transforming this country into his utopian vision for us mere mortals...

These "phoney" scandals are just a distraction for our King...

All I can think is that I want a swift reckoning, as well. In southern, “I hope how soon.”

Maranatha.

and by the way, I don’t think he nor his minions know how very many and how very angry people and the heavens are?

travesties and injustices abound — for example: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3159029/posts

**Thanks** for your list, Nachum. It is quite an effort to keep track of the depth and breadth of the evils that abound. As I said in the post above...
