Both parties are to blame, for allowing this to happen. They need to own it.

As for fixing it, first of all bust the public service unions that have a death grip on the system.

Is it really anybody’s fault? Or is it the government/socialist system?

Did Bush come up with the idea of -- in effect -- paying VA employees bonuses for hiding patients on secret waiting lists? I doubt it.

The bureaucratic nightmare aspect of the VA must go back to the VA's inception.

I realize Nancy has never had a close encounter with the truth - but - it still boggles my mind that she has no sense of shame with her idiotic statements.

Any sane person realizes that both parties have screwed our veterans. It is a constant.

"He sees the ramifications of some seeds that were sown a long time ago

So, because problems at the VA began before Obama took office, hhas absolutely no obligation to take any action to fix the problem, even 6 years into his administration - is that what we're supposed to believe?

If things are going bad at your job, and you were asked for an explanation, what would your boss say if you replied: "it's not my fault, it's the fault of the guy who worked here six years ago."

Blame Bush, blame the Dems, blame whoever you want. The bottom line is a large bloated bureaucracy let a lot of people down. This is why Republicans are against socialized medicine, education, economies, etc etc. Things always tend towards maintaining the health of the bureaucracy rather than the task the bureaucracy was created to handle. The VA thing points this out so clearly, if this doesn't change people's attitudes, nothing will.

Remember that America kills over a million of its own children every year: pretty much all due to Pelosi and the party of Moloch.

If you’re hired to coach a bad team and the team is still bad six years later, who’s fault is it? Plus, Obama made fixing the VA one of his main issues in the 2008 election. He provides more empty rhetoric than any politician in modern history. It’s clear Obama views his job as undermining the GOP, raising money, and playing golf. In his mind, Anything beyond those three tasks is not only not his job, it’s not even his poblem. He doesn’t run the government in any meaningful way and he bever will. It bores him.

Sad to say - the VA has been “broken” for a very long time. In the late 70’s I was training as a tech in 4 hospitals, and a VA was one of them. *One was state owned, one private, one county and then the VA.

It was my absolute least favorite rotation. As a child of a career Navy Dad, the “good enuf for gubmint purposes” mindset that was, even then - Everywhere there, infuriated me.

The complete disrespect meted out to those good men/women was appalling, and it does not surprise me that today, many have been left to die.

May God keep watch over them, because their government surely will not.

Obama doesn't want to be president, he just wants to be a celebrity.

“It’s clear Obama views his job as undermining the”...United States of America. Obama is doing his part for establishing the world-wide Islamic Caliphate.
