Excuses...dead soldiers and vets.....Obama has fundraising to do, dammit.
Shinseki wasn’t qualified, either. They need a hospital corporation administrator to take over, but we’ll probably get a woman studies professor from Chicago university.
Shinseki does bear responsibility. He’s military. He knows that. He’s had 6 years at the helm to make that bureaucracy work, but he hasn’t done so.
But, it’s the mid-level managers who are the terrorists with the lists. They need to be rooted out and fired.
The US Senate, though, went on record the other day in support of letting veterans continue to die and their care deniers to get off scot free.
The GOP (Party of RomneyCARE and gaymarriage and polygamy)
SUPPORTS Obama and especially, their ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE.
They are EXEMPT, and care only about themselves.
Nothing until after the mid-terms, and probably not until after 2016.
Libs heads exploding in anger and outrage everywhere for him resigning over a problem they say Bush and the GOP created. They still claim Bush and the GOP refused to fund the VA hospital system.
Now it’s time for some serious jail time for those who cooked the books and got bonuses out of it.
Of course, if you put this in political commercials, the same people who were fine with painting Mitt Romney as someone who caused a woman to die of cancer will suddenly scream foul.
The GOP elite and Reince Priebus are too afraid. Somebody might call them a racist.
They need to campaign on Always Do The Right Thing . . . no matter what . . . not the Obama Political Chicago Way Thing.
He has NO answers..
He’s just winging it and stuttering.
What a colossal disgrace for a CIC.
I wonder what Jamie Gorelick is doing....
Obama: Not only mandatory fixes, but we have to deal with Congress and you guys [press].
Agent Orange.
Not enough space [at VA hospitals], need more resources [tax increases].
Former Sec [now] said that info didn’t get to him [about how bad things are/were at VA hospitals].
DOJ will have to determine whether there is any criminal action.
It is my presidency and I ALWAYS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
[Quit laughing people!!!! This is series and hugh!!!]
Where we knew of problems, we were able to fix them. [Is that Healthcare.gov website working yet?]
Poor information flow.
[Poor Bambam only finds out things by watching the TV news and reading the daily news papers.]
I am going to find out how things got in this bad of a shape. Healthcare the vets actually received got good marks [assuming only those still living were surveyed].
Poor information flow and underlings did not bring problems to the Sec.
Reporter: [fumbles with words] Is this decapitation of the agency head political.
[Heresy! Heresy! Heratic!!! Burn, Heratic! Burn!]
Now, what’s going to be done about the VA?
Well , Obama is doing this on FRIDAY DUMP DAY , so nothing
President requests 3 percent increase for VA budget
President Barack Obama has increased the Department of Veterans Affairs’ budget each year since he took office, claiming the funds would give veterans the health care they deserve. However, an analysis of records show the agency has spent close to $500 million on office furniture under the Obama administration.
This upcoming fiscal year Obama requested a 3 percent increase for the Veterans Affairs budget. Obama’s FY 2015 budget request points out he has increased the VA discretionary budget by 35.2 percent since 2009 so veterans continue to access necessary services.
The VA has spent a total of $489 million to upgrade conference rooms, buy draperies, and purchase new office furniture during the past four-and-a-half years.
A total of 15,010 contracts were awarded for office furniture by the VA for Fiscal Years 2010 through 2014.
One contract awarded $6.8 million for construction of a conference room and facilities at its Carol Stream, Ill., office. That renovation is ongoing and is expected to be completed next April.
To make the office makeovers complete, draperies, roller shades, and cornice boxes were also purchased. The VA spent $10.7 million in the past five fiscal years on curtains and draperies.
Some of those contracts include $454,085 for “cubical curtains and draperies” for its Brecksville, Ohio, office. The Pittsburg, Pa., VA office spent $382,879 on window shades which were just installed in January.
Instead of draperies, the VA’s Los Alamitos office preferred cornice boxes and roller shades. The contract shows they spent $106,615 on its window treatments.
IF we need more DOCTORS?
He has ruined the medical profession with Obamacare!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama is hitting his stride,, he’s lying like a brook babbles with runoff
Do my ears betray me or is Obama repeatedly referring to the VA as the VHA?
Waiting for 2017 and a post in the Hillary administration....
Head rolled, problem solved...now, let’s get back to talking about how I got a concussion playing in football games nobody knows about...
Everything’s good....
