CNN: Both Parties Think VA Is 'Political Bomb' For Obama (Video)
Breitbart TV ^ | 29 May 2014

Posted on 05/29/2014 10:40:20 AM PDT by kingattax

CNN’s Drew Griffin, one of the first reporters who took on the Veterans Administration hospital waiting time scandal, stated that the VA scandal was a "political bomb" that both parties believed the Obama administration was handling poorly in an appearance on CNN on Thursday.

Griffin cited the overflow of members of Congress who wanted to “rail against the VA” at a hearing last night as evidence that the scandal is “a political crisis that's just getting worse and worse and worse.”

In reference to the ongoing scandal, Griffin said “this is a political bomb for the president, and both sides don't think he's handling it very well.” He predicted that until Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki stepped down, the president would take more heat as more revelations about VA misconduct surfaced.

Over the years, Doormat Republican Speaker Boehner has been able to fund all of the Democrats’ Commander in Chief Obama’s Military decisions.

Speaker Boehner has thus been essential to helping Obama to lead from the bottom of a Socialist, Group Hug, Hell Hole.

Speaker Boehner should indeed be in line for a promotion by Arrogant Commander in Chief Obama.

Over the years, Boehner has doubled the taxpayer dollars sent to the failed Veterans Administration.

The rumor that a grateful, but still Arrogant, Obama is considering promoting Boehner to be in charge of the Veterans Administration has yet to be confirmed.

No. Obama’s black. No fault can ever be assigned, and his actions have no limitations whatsoever.

Not having glowing things to say and having monsters at the VA commit crimes like the ‘lists’ were are two different things. Your original comment was creepy - the issue on the table today is criminal action by democrats at the VA. It’s not about overall care.... which I’m sure is not as good as it should be.

I heard Obama, May Allah Bless & keep him, give a speech. He said he was shocked and outraged. He will not rest until the problem is solved. So that should take care of it.

What more do you people want from him?

The media called Reagan the Teflon POTUS.
But the real Teflon POTUS is Caliph Baraq.

“But the real Teflon POTUS is Caliph Baraq.”

The big difference is that Obama’s teflon is now scratch and cracking.

It’s gonna be a tough 2.5 yrs for Baraq and Moose.
Golf and ultra luxe vacations, followed by a monster cash hoard from selling POTUS pardons.

Why is everybody calling for Shinseki to resign yet giving his boss a pass?

The real tough time is going to come starting in early November with a LOT of Dems loses.

Point taken.
I accept the correction.

State-controlled media has strategically chosen the VA scandal for their focus because it can't be directly traced to Ubama. He didn't tell the VA to do anything. He just ignored them. It's not something that can bring down his administration.

The IRS scandal, however, leads straight to the White Hut. They won't touch that one with a ten-foot pole, because it could bring him down.

They're just distracting us. They don't really care about the vets. They're just toying with us.

I believe there are several “Time Bombs” out there—the worst are the ones that haven’t surfaced yet. In time Obama will be the most hated man in American—by the left and the right.

How many people will realize that government medicine, as represented by the poor care by the VA, is proof that socialized medicine or Medicaid for all is going to be just as bad?

It doesn’t matter what people thing. The feral government cancer has metastasized. From this point on its only goal is taking over more and more of the resources until the host dies.

” even democrats aren’t that crass...”

IMHO, they are. Harry Reid called the TEA party and Cliven Bundy supporters terrorists. They supported Obastard’s lie that you could keep your insurance, and they ridiculed the republican who tried to pass a bill to protect current insurance plans.

Next to muslims, democrats are the most worthless lying trash on the planet. Actually, they are American muslims, trying to force a fascist system on us, but their god is government.
