Jay Carney, once again, has played the "we learned about this from the media reports..." when asked about the VA scandal. We have heard this line from this administration over and over again on every 'scandal.' I have two questions...
1. Do you think they're lying, or do you believe that they actually don't know jack shite until the media reports on things?
2. How are the 'best and brightest' among us, who know more about everything than everybody(therefore better qualified to run things), supposed to run the show when they don't know about anything that's going on?
Edit: title

Liberals don't care about results so long as they are in control. I've seen many issues with the VA treating veterans and after watching how they treated my best friend, nothing shocks me about them. Did anyone expect them to be treated well when the DHS considers veterans possible domestic terrorists?

I don't understand how they think that lame explanation makes them look any better.

Obama appointed people to supervise every agency/department of the federal government. It is inconceivable that none of those persons were aware of any of these problems until the problems were reported in the media. It is even more inconceivable that not one of the people Obama appointed would have bothered to inform him, or one of his close advisors, of the problems within the agencies/departments they supervise when they became aware of the problems.
Ignorance by management is evidence of incompetence. Why and how the Obama administration is permitted to get away with repeated admissions of ignorance is a mystery. I'm not surprised that those who were loudest in endorsing Obama are the most reticent when it comes to questioning his competence.

The only thing this administration cares about is campaign advantage. Truth and results are immaterial to them. They know they can get away with it because the media runs interference for them.
They have no notion of what is good for America - nor do they care. All they want is to win the next election - to hell with anything that doesn't, at the moment, lend itself to that narrative.
They are liars and schemers - they would rather be the unchallenged dictators of a third world country than have to compete for leadership in a superpower. That is why every thing they do is to retreat from what has traditionally been the American spirit and to seduce every malcontented and disillusioned group they can find.
Racism is the cherry on the DEM's sundae. They savor it.

They're lying.
Odumbo in 2007
To be fair to the idiot, as long as I can remember the VA has been known for inefficiency and often inadequacy.
And I'm sure the current administration of morons also knew very well the poor reputation of the VA hospital system and they have continued to let it flounder. To feign ignorance is just another lie.

every time Carney takes the mike he either says they didn't know or that didn't happen.
Someone should ask him, " Mr.Carney if the administration didn't know are they incompetent,stupid,lying to us or all of the above?"

And guess what the VA and Obamacare have in common? Government run healthcare. You are seeing a preview of Obamacare guarantee it. I dont care if you are Republican or Democrat, government cant run any type of business effectively.

Ok, but this DID start under Bush. Obama Admin was told when they took office, and nothing was done. Now, they pull out the old "we saw it on the news" line again.
Liberals, this thread has not left the front page and nobody has chimed in. Why not?

"He would burn the world down if he could rule over the ashes" Varys talking about Littlefinger.
Littlefinger is definitely an Obamabot except a whole lot smarter.

Touche. Touche.
By "this" I mean "secret lists" to mask wait times. But you're right, Vets have been underserved forever.
