President Speaking About VA Controversy

Listening on the radio (107.3 for other BR folks) so no link.
He's saying the things you expect... people will be held accountable (lulz), this should not be tolerated by either side of the political aisle, blah, blah, blah.
I'm waiting for a leader to start off a press conference one day and, instead of reading a prepared statement, start it off with something like "This kind of activity, ladies and gentlemen, is bullshite!"

It would be refreshing.
But, unfortunately, the notion of accountability has pretty much died.
We live in the new blame/excuse world.

Lets reconvene in 2 years and discuss how far (
) Obama has driven the accountability train down the tracks.

I vaguely heard the first question.. something to the effect of "You campaigned on this issue...." Basically throwing prior comments in his face.
Didn't hear the whole thing though.

Cut the man some slack, he inherited the entire mess from Bush. Everyone knows that.
Now that he knows about the situation, it will be resolved by the end of the week.

Yeah he always says he's angry after the fact. After finding out about it on the news that is.

Did he say which particular TV station or newspaper he saw that FIRST alerted him of this controversy?

I bet it is times like these that he really wishes he was Kim Jong Un.

Also, Ann Romney DOES have a horse, after all. We can't forget that.

Is he just replaying his speech from 2008 when he said changes at the VA were coming to make sure this doesn't happen again?

Remember the IRS ? He was furious. Six months later there wasn't a smidgeon of corruption.
NO ONE TAKES THIS FOOL SERIOUS.
As a matter of fact this big eared fool should play the Joker in the next Batman movie.

Then-Senator Barack Obama, November 12, 2007: “After seven years of an Administration that has stretched our military to the breaking point, ignored deplorable conditions at some VA hospitals, and neglected the planning and preparation necessary to care for our returning heroes, America’s veterans deserve a President who will fight for them not just when it’s easy or convenient, but every hour of every day for the next four years.”
By 2012, Obama continued to compare the performance of the VA during his administration favorably to his predecessor, declaring, “For the first time ever, we’ve made military families and veterans a top priority not just at DOD, not just at the VA, but across the government.”

Thought-provoking thread. Would read again.

Did he say, as soon as Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and the IRS investigations are complete, Holder will start his investigation into VA?

There is no controversy. Even with the best healthcare available people die in hospitals. When you have an unnecessary war started by Bush the VA hospitals will be overcrowded leading to waiting lists.
The only solution is spending more on the hospitals to increase staff and upgrade facilities but no the Tea Baggers won't allow that because big mean government rabble rabble.
Then they try to pin this faux "scandal" on Obama just because they don't like the fact we have a black president all the while exploiting these brave veterans deaths for political purposes. Just disgusting. And they wonder why they don't win elections

If the goverment can't manage the health care of the veterans, then how the hell will the government manage the health care of the entire U.S. population via obama care?
