"I will not stand for it — not as commander in chief but also not as an American," Obama said following an Oval Office meeting with embattled VA Secretary Eric Shinseki.

ya! Obama is mad!
This brings to mind a famous scene from the movie “Blazing Saddles”, which I will refrain from quoting for fear of being branded “racis”.
< Sound effect> RIMSHOT! < /Sound effect>
He is so f’ing full of $hit!
And his coddling media is simply sickening.
A commentator on FNC said he pretty much dished out a bunch of platitudes.
I’m good with that idea ... might even join them and have plenty of friends/relatives/acquaintances who would as well. I do seriously think that this issue, especially after the speechifying & circling the wagons around Shinseki today, has the potential to take Obama down like none of the other ‘scandals’. You would think the 4 dead in Benghazi would have done it, but maybe it’s going to take the realization that there are hundreds if not thousands of dead Vets to get the job done this time. Words totally fail me as to what opinion I hold of Obama.
only time will tell
Im not making any bets on this!
But you already are standing for it, and have been doing so for 5½ years now.
You people really, really, really make me sick. Of course Obama is going to punish people. How many five-yard penalties, free throws, and assessed golf strokes is it going to take for you all to be satisfied?
YOU HAVE STOOD FOR IT ... FOR YEARS
“Any misconduct at VA will be punished”
Does he plan to punish the veterans, who his administration consider terrorists?
Using the rules of obamacare, no misconduct will be found.
I am sure the VA is shivering in its boots. The fearless POTUS is coming after them and he is angry.
If his punishment is as skillful as his pitching arm, they can ignore him and continue on as per usual.
The VA has a Patient Advocate (PA) office in each VA installation.
The problem is the PA reports to the local VA facility’s director. If the VA really wants to change how it works and works to support its Veteran clients, the PA office in each VA facility should report to the IG for the VA, not ANY local VA official, and the IG should get constant reports from its PA offices and initiate investigations and reports to Congress as needed, BEFORE the sh&^%$ hits the fan.
It wasn't until the backlash of "disconnect" & "Unengaged" that Obama called a meeting in the Oval Office.
05-20-14 Jay Carney Press Conference:
MR. CARNEY: What I can tell you about Mr. Nabors is that he has been dispatched to the VA at the Secretary’s suggestion -- a suggestion that was endorsed strongly by the President. The President is focused on the review that Secretary Shinseki has announced and has launched of the allegations regarding waiting lists and disclosure of waiting lists and wait times when it comes to getting benefits and services.
I can tell you that Rob is on his way to Phoenix to visit the Phoenix Veterans Affairs medical facility to meet with its acting director as part of this review. The President looks forward to the results both of the review and of the independent investigation that is underway and is being conducted by the inspector general.
“Obama said one thing that’s correct. He’s the Commander in Chief.”
If so, then he’s smarter than he was during the first campaign when he said he was looking forward to being “Commander AND Chief”. What a dolt.
He was giving a speech and addressing “fallen soldiers” in the audience. What... like Weekend At Bernies? He didn’t even know that meant “deceased”.
He said he’d visited 57 states and only had one more to visit.
He talked about “corpSmen”, not knowing the “s” is silent.
I hope he thanks his lucky stars every day for Affirmative Action. A white person this stupid couldn’t graduate from high school or get into a community college, much less attend an Ivy League school.
No wonder America is the laughing stock of the entire world.
I'd have to say Obama's buddy in Nigeria isn't doing all that well....Obama might be the second worst president in the world.
I'm a math gal. All of the stuff you listed had me appalled, but then there's the thing that did it for me. His daughter is a freshman in high school. He said she's reached a level where here math is too hard for him to help her.
Sure would be fun to see the SAT scores that qualified Obama for Columbia and Harvard.

“He said she’s reached a level where here math is too hard for him to help her.”
So, basically, the most powerful man in the world, and the (alleged) “smartest man in the world” can’t do 9th-grade math. We’re f***ed. (But we knew that already.)
