Yes, he IS the most tragically uninformed POTUS in all of US history.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

You are tremendously stupid, or a shill.
There is no way the administration (el presidente) was not given notice that this was going to hit the news. No fucking way.
I believe you are as stupid as you appear.

So Obama knows all, sees all, controls all? Interesting.

Obama knew about the VA's problems since the beginning of his administration. And so like everything else, he ignored it in the hopes that the problem would go away.

The problems have been being worked on since he came into office. And he wasn't fixing them personally, he has people for that.

 

[PredFan]

Maybe Obama should watch FOX more.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

That is a massively naive statement.

No, it's isn't. It's a big government, remember? How's the backlog at the VA in Phoenix is not the first question Obama asks every morning after he wakes up.

Yes it is, either it's massively naive or you aren't bright enough to know that he asks other questions as the day and weeks go on. Which is it?

I very much doubt that Hey, is the VA in Phoenix cooking the books was one of his questions. The fact that they were shows they were under pressure to perform eh?

Who's been working on them? The waits have gone from four months to around nine months. Do you think that is progress?

In 2007, while running for President, Obama said:

“After seven years of an Administration that has stretched our military to the breaking point, ignored deplorable conditions at some VA hospitals, and neglected the planning and preparation necessary to care for our returning heroes, America’s veterans deserve a President who will fight for them not just when it’s easy or convenient, but every hour of every day for the next four years.”

PRESS RELEASE from Obama for America
November 12, 2007


That's nice, a person can't really argue that sentiment. People have known for quite some time the VA needs fixin'...


In 2012 Obama said:

“For the first time ever, we’ve made military families and veterans a top priority not just at DOD, not just at the VA, but across the government.”

Remarks by the President to the 113th National Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars


Hey, that's great! Sounds like there's been progress since he took office! Sounds as if President Obama has been following up, checking in to see how the changes are going... Certainly someone he trusts briefed him about the changes at the VA... Well... I'm sure the speech writer did some research... Smartest President ever and all that...

And please, let's not forget that it's a damn good thing our President watches a lot of news... How else is he going to find out what's going on in his administration?


Good GOD, is there nothing this man can do that you sycophants won't defend?

 

[JakeStarkey]

don't bark down that alley, that is not how presidents find things out

 

[Rozman]

The President like most Democrats get their news from The John Stewart show.

 

[1776]

Obama just found out via the news that the world is not flat.

 

[blackhawk]

It is nice to know we have a President who watches the news instead of cartoons.

Watching it yes understanding it that seems to be highly questionable.

 

[Katzndogz]

obama is bored. The job no longer interests him.

Not sure if your being serious or sarcastic but there is more than a bit of truth to that comment in my humble opinion.

Hey, dipshit...American Vets dying because of inadequate, if not criminal, oversight...he knew.

Save the bloviating.

Prove it? Oh wait, you can't of course since it isn't true.

Obama is the Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces and one of his primary duties is to look after the well being of all military men and women. That includes those that served and are now veterans.

He does have people that he appointed to administer the VA and they have failed miserably. When is he going to fire some of them and hire some one in their place that is capable of doing the job?

 

[BluesMistress]

Obama must watch A LOT of TV.

Just sayin'.

He must be watching FOX News since they're the only ones investigating & reporting all these scandals

I think you're on to something. I watch the PBS News Hour from time to time and I have yet to see them mention these scandals (not that they haven't but I have seen it). Today's story was the merger between AT&T and Direct TV and how that would be a bad thing because it would raise prices. Big frigging deal!!

no kidding, people need to stay away from the lamestream medias if they want to get ALL the news...they have become DNC PRAVDA propagandist

That is not one of his duties. He doesn't lead them into battle either. We have something called the Pentagon and lots of people work there.

Actually it's much better than when Bush was in office, and it still doesn't have the resources it needs and he doesn't control the budget, Congress does that.

Plausible deniability; an excuse for incompetence!
