My wife and I were outside at about 7 am this morning doing outside chores, so we could walk and shop later today.

We came inside a little after 8 am PDT, and she turned to our local Fox TV station. Instead of the local station stuff, there was the Liar in Chief lying about the VA. She turned it off quickly.

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

Whew we ... From here can site no accomplishments except their deaths. Lame-stream missed that one too, if they did not follow up or question that zer0 statement.

Obama: Any misconduct at VA will be punished

WASHINGTON — Seeking to head off a growing furor over veterans’ health care, President Barack Obama declared Wednesday that allegations of misconduct at Veterans Affairs hospitals are “dishonorable” and will be not be tolerated by his administration.

“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.

“We are going to fix whatever is wrong and so long as I have the privilege of serving as commander in chief, I’m going to keep on fighting to deliver the care and the benefits and the opportunities that you and your families deserve, now and for decades to come,” Obama said.

Obama’s statement marked his first public comments on the matter in more than two weeks. Last week, he dispatched his deputy chief of staff Rob Nabors to the VA to oversee a review of department policies and ordered him to report back to the White House next month.

Nabors first joined the Office of Management and Budget, straight out of graduate school, as a program examiner in 1996. Assigned to the Bureau’s commerce branch, he was given responsibility for the decennial census, and while he was working on that task, he was recognized as a “budding wunderkind” by OMB Director Jacob Lew, who promoted him to special assistant to the director in 1998. In 2000, he was further promoted to assistant director for administration and executive secretary.

In February 2010 Nabors, became senior advisor to then-White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, who is now the Mayor of Chicago.

In November 2011, Nabors was included on The New Republic’s list of Washington’s most powerful, least famous people.

“Rush is wrong on this. Obama knew and campaigned on the problems at the VA in 2008. He owns this and is responsible for the deaths of dozens of vets who died awaiting treatment while hidden on secret waiting lists.”

Now, we know why ABCNNBCBS for months have been running the ads where Biden’s wife and Obozo’s Wookie telling us how much they love our vets.

That ad ties in with Obozo’s Follywood thugs and their, “We got your 6” ads!

They knew this storm was brewing and eventually would bubble over and out beyond the control of their pet Mediots.

Whew we ... Am so tired of the lies by zer0 and his crowd. Once upon a time the media pretended to care about our Military. Now our lame-stream instead prefers to lie. What a waste of exposing corruption! When corrupt, be corrupt is the new lame-stream slogan.

Probably because they were wounded al-Qaeda soldiers.

Lame-stream media tries to justify their corruption by Backing Down. Poor lame-stream media. Don’t you know you and yours are in zer0’s crosshairs too?

Just like he punished the Benghazi murderers, right? Has anyone even been arrested? He swore to track them down and bring them to justice. Why should we believe a single word coming out of his mouth?

Thank you for being the one to subject yourself to looking at and listening to the Liar-in-Chief. I cannot bear to do either.

How late was he, BTW?

Maybe the money was stolen, er taken from the VA programs to help fund the large upcomeing and increasing Obozo Care Costs for the health insurance companies?

Federal funds earmarked to offset Affordable Care Act insurer losses (Too Big to Fail)

Posted by longtermmemmory

he Obama administration has quietly adjusted key provisions of its signature healthcare law to potentially make billions of additional taxpayer dollars available to the insurance industry if companies providing coverage through the Affordable Care Act lose money..

The move was buried in hundreds of pages of new regulations issued late last week. It comes as part of an intensive administration effort to hold down premium increases for next year, a top priority for the White House as the rates will be announced ahead of this fall’s congressional elections.

Administration officials for months have denied charges by opponents that they plan a “bailout” for insurance companies providing coverage under the healthcare law. ...

“Jay Carney needs to be fired for lying about this.”

Carney is paid to lie everyday.

We can rest reassured that Eric Holder will investigate these serious charges as soon as he stops investigating racism in the minds of conservatives.

I didn't watch...was he as mad as he was when he found out someone took Air Force One for a joy ride around The Statue of Liberty?

He found out about that when he saw it on the in-flight TV programming.
