... In 2010 -- four years ago! -- the deputy undersecretary of the VA wrote a nine-page memo saying that in order to cover up their continued delays, various parts of the VA system were engaged in "gaming strategies" -- in effect, lying.
The General Accounting Office and VA inspector generals wrote reports saying the practice was widespread. One would have thought that would have set off alarm bells at both the VA and the White House. Where was the anger then? There were some internal investigations, but they never went anywhere and there was little apparent sense of urgency.
Six months ago, CNN turned loose its own investigative reporters and aired stories about excessive waits in several facilities across the country. Again, the VA and the White House had little to say.

‘Obama has also taken up the cause of veterans since he first ran for the U.S. Senate. So has the first lady. And under this president, much good has been accomplished for veterans in terms of health care, reducing homelessness, jobs, and importantly, a nation’s respect.”
Total nonsense. But if this Obama butt kisser is on his case, he’s in deep doo doo.
The long waits for appointments at VA Health Centers have been common knowledge since the dawn of time. What has not been known is that, by design, vets were placed on lists that never moved them up to an appointment. Unknown is when that started but that definitely has happened under the Obama regime.
David RODHAM Gergen, now that is funny. CNN keeps trotting this clown out like he still has credibility. Just because he at one point made an honest living working the Right side of the isle, doesn’t mean squat 25 years later.
The Democrats seemed to be able to get those $50,000 federal checks to those Democrat make-believe pig farmers in a hurry.
It appears to me that they put them on separate lists so they could collect their precious bonuses. They’re no better than Judas, IMO.
What could make you think he was honest when was working for the Right?
This Admin just simply cannot EVER find any wrongdoing in which they have participated. Every sane person knows this is because they cover-up constantly for themselves. Big Media should WAKE UP before they are completely irrelevant due to their sycophant attitude for the Dems. ARE YOU LISTENING, BIG MEDIA?
0bama’s stories always add up to lies.
Limbaugh had a caller who claimed Obama via Shinsecki had opined that vets vols should pay fo their own hospitalization which Rush reported on his show. Limbaugh researched it and sure enoungh in 2009 he did and carried over CNN .Limbaugh replayed the audio.
Surely we don’t expect to hold our service personnel to their service commitments if we will not, as amply demonstrated by this administration, will not honor our commitment by offering the kind of VA medical care they so richly deserve! All current military personnel should be offered immediate release from their service commitments with a hefty bonus (e.g., $250,000) or, in the alternative, an even heftier bonus (e.g., $500,000) should they elect to stay in service anyway. Its the only ethical thing to do!
Clown Prince nobama hates the military and Veterans. These commies are true ghouls. His (and his obese grifter wife, mooch-elle) posing as primarily caring about them is smelly BS.

My “bonus with immediate separation from service” idea is simply to help implement Obama’s proposal that military people should pay for their own medical: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2014/05/22/flashback_obama_wanted_to_charge_wounded_veterans_for_treatment
He is an apologist for big government, and the one time I met him I made a remark to that effect. The meeting terminated.
Even raising the questions he has raised is a pretty big deal, IMHO, given his background and orientation. Obama is toast (or perhaps the old Army term “SOS” is more appropriate)
