How Many Have to Die?
American Thinker ^ | 5/31/2014 | William L. Gensert

How many have to die before people recognize Barack Obama for what he is, an incompetent ideologue, in way over his head? Ever the sociopathic solipsist, everything is always about him, and if lives are lost in service of his place in the history books, they will not have died in vain, for there is no greater goal than the deification of Barack Obama.

Just ask him; he’ll tell you.

The latest administration scandal involves the VA hospital system, which is alleged to have been run like a criminal enterprise. The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for Veterans Affairs has released a preliminary report raising the possibility of criminal misconduct.

It is said that as many as 40 or more veterans died unnecessarily while waiting for medical treatment they never received.

Sadly, it did not start there.

It’s genetic. All leftist despots require the sacrifice of as many lives as they can convince others to take. Death without restraint.

The way I see it is - anything that has happened to America is laid at the feet of the liberal media. And 0bama. Not Bush. 0bama has had the helm going on six years. It’s his fault.

The corrupt VA directors get cash rewards for killing the most vets. A liberals dream come true.

The song for pres__ent Obozo is not “Hail to the Chief”. It is “I Wanna Talk About Me”!

The Office of Inspector General does a damn good job so long as it is non political and will not cause a problem for the the top brass. If it is a political problem one must always remember the the IG works for the top political brass.

I have worked for the VA for 23 years and I am proud of my work and proud of the work that most of my fellow care givers have done. I have also put my job on the line to make sure what is right is done. When I did this it was quietly corrected. If I was wrong, I would have been gone.

However, about 15 to 20 percent of the VA should be fired tomorrow morning and about 50% of the higher bureaucracy also.

The real problem is VA care is a totally rational program given the structure of the VA. This rationale is of central control and structure. You can not cure the VA by firing a few people. The cure for the VA is to sell it to private enterprise and fund it properly. Oddly enough it is funded well but these funds are squandered by the federal bureaucracy. The cure is to privatize it but funded by the Federal Government. The governments only role should be to determine that the funds are spent properly and put in jail any and all fraud.

The good guys in the VA would welcome this. The bad guys would tremble in fear of this.

Dead veterans, and now Americans who can’t get medical care thanks to Obamacare, are just “bumps in the road” on Obama’s glorious yellow brick road to Utopia.

I agree with you. The VA by it’s very structure is a goldmine for fraud. Like any government bureaucracy, it exists to support itself, not the people it purports to serve. I’d be willing to bet that we could buy private insurance policies that could do a better job for our vets and the VA does.

The lead paragraphs of the article were somewhat misleading. The true premise of the article was how many people needlessly die to support Obama’s ego. Either at the VA, military, civilian, or innocents in general.
