Karl Rove hits Senator Obama's attendance (VA Scandal)
Politico ^ | 5/23/14 | JONATHAN TOPAZ

Posted on 05/23/2014 7:46:45 AM PDT by Hotlanta Mike

Karl Rove is now attacking Barack Obama’s record — as a senator.

Appearing Thursday night on Fox News, the Republican strategist said he doesn’t know whether Obama “was paying much attention” while he served on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee.

“President Obama was a member of the Senate veterans committee. He very rarely showed up at those meetings,” Rove told “On The Record” host Greta Van Susteren. “It would be interesting for your staff to go take a look at that but he — these issues about scheduling and the backlog, these were discussed at Senate veterans committee meetings and I’m not certain he was paying much attention then. He was probably busy out there running for president.”

Obama served on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee from 2005 until he won the 2008 presidential election. While on the committee, Obama criticized the George W. Bush administration for ignoring “deplorable conditions at some VA hospitals, and [neglecting] the planning and preparation necessary to care for our returning heroes.”

Does this guy look like he can pay attention?

Obama and liberals hate everything our veterans fought for.

Looks like he just sparked up a fatty, smoked it, hammered down some Mad Dog 20-20 and hooked up with Reggie.

Has Rove become the DH for the GOP (Designated Hitman)...?

Fine with me!

I wonder why Barack didn’t mention he was well aware of the problems since he was on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, before becoming Observer In Chief!

I was thinking of posting a vanity about all the commemorations we’re missing. Of WWI, WWII, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the fall of Vietnam, and of Iraq. We’re missing them and official representation is not being made.

Our history is being shut down. It is up to us. These are key events. Lots of change. Lots of blood shed.

Obama’s whole career has been to move up the ladder as quickly as possible based on hype before anyone was able to evaluate his lack of job performance and incompetence.

This must be around reason # six hundred eighty one for impeachment now. After the treason trial of course, if he's "around" long enough.

Why should Obama’s time on the Veterans Affairs Committee while he was senator be any different than the 20 years he spent in Jermaiah Wright’s church. He says he never heard Wright’s hatred of the US so I’m sure he never heard anything while on the committee. He is such an empty head.

Lots of blood shed.


And I doubt much of it was shed for Marxists, gay marriage, abortion, illegal immigration, etc. We’re going to have to take it back.

Impeachment would only make him a martyr for the Left, like it did Clinton.

Let him keep tying knots in his own rope, and suffer the consequences of his OWN missteps.

It may be a slow process, but usually more sure!
