So, has he blamed the whole thing on Bush yet?

I listen to his hip-hop delivery style and all I can hear is “Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah you’re all a bunch of suckas, I’m the head MF what’s in charge, tough noogies!”

O: I am going to get to the bottom of this, when I get the reports from the VA. And those which don’t show significant improvement will get a big F on their grade sheet. I takes this seriously. Those reports must be double-spaced with 1-1/2 inch margins and page numbers at the bottom of the page. I will not stand for any report to fail to have a viable table of contents and effective index!

[Polyxene]

The Liar -in - Chief lying about lies and liars. Hope he can keep all of the lies straight. What a lying pig we have as POTUS. God help us!!!!!!

[molson209]

he’s on mute ,but he’s saying a lot for someone who just hear it on the news

[ssaftler]

So, in other words, it’s “Nothing to see here folks, just move along”. Typical of this bastard child and Manchurian Candidate.

[TomGuy]

O doesn’t know whether other facilities have been cooking the books ...

FoxNews showed similar ‘list’ problems and double lists in about 7 states. FoxNews anticipates that more state will be added as prospective ‘whistleblowers’ feel they have cover to reveal the situations in their respective states/facilities.

O needs to start listening to FoxNews, since he apparently only knows what is going on in the world from the cable news networks and newspapers.

[Gritty]

I read the entire CBS article. It is frightening.

It sounds more and more like the Miami VA is a criminal organization.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Mobama? How many paper shredders did your people burn out over the last few days?

[Toespi]

King Goffrey your pigeon pie is waiting.

[molson209]

He’s leaning on the podium and waving his left hand ,yawn

[TomGuy]

he’s saying a lot for someone who just hear it on the news

That is because he is talking in circles and repeating the lines from ole campaign speeches.

[ken5050]

DID YOU NOTICE THAT HE DUCKED THE QUESTION OF WHEN HE FIRST LEARNED ABOUT IT

[no-to-illegals]

I will not stand for any report to fail to have a viable table of contents and effective index!

Since zer0 doesn't take Security Briefings, we can be certain zer0 will not read these reports. File 13.

[BerryDingle]

Searing memories of visiting wounded troops? I don’t remember him ever visiting wounded troops.

[no-to-illegals]

Scary ...

[demshateGod]

More of my freedom taken from me.

[VeniVidiVici]

I only learned of the missiles when I read about them in the New York Times!!!!

Obama vows to tackle VA problems, stops short of ousting secretary

President Obama, breaking his silence on the Veterans Affairs scandal, outlined steps Wednesday to “fix whatever is wrong” at the agency — while stopping short of heeding calls to sack VA Secretary Eric Shinseki.

Rather, the president said he would wait for the conclusion of internal probes.

“When I hear allegations of misconduct ... I will not stand for it,” Obama said. “None of us should.”

He added: “If these allegations prove to be true, it is dishonorable, it is disgraceful and I will not tolerate it — period.”

Obama then followed up with a list of what he claimed are his administration’s accomplishments in taking care of vets and their families.
