Obama is madder than hell!

[Gina]

The White House chief of staff says President Barack Obama is 'madder than hell' about reports of treatment delays at veterans' hospitals across the country.

Bullcrap.  He is probably proud of it.

[Mike220]

OK. Now what is President Three Dimensional Chess Master going to do about it?

[vesta111]

Bullcrap.  He is probably proud of it.

Agree he is angry about the outing of the problem.

Say, anyone notice just how bad he looks lately, the expression of ones hair turning white over night comes to mind. 

  His problem seems to come from the white women and white men in some kind of position that keep getting in trouble, be it the men are gay or the woman stupid, lazy or worse rich and a benifit to his party. 

Where the hell is the spell check ?

It seems that this will now be blamed on President Bush.

He KNEW! Obama told of Veterans Affairs health care debacle as far back as 2008

The Obama administration received clear notice more than five years ago that VA medical facilities were reporting inaccurate waiting times and experiencing scheduling failures that threatened to deny veterans timely health care — problems that have turned into a growing scandal.

Veterans Affairs officials warned the Obama-Biden transition team in the weeks after the 2008 presidential election that the department shouldn’t trust the wait times that its facilities were reporting.

“This is not only a data integrity issue in which [Veterans Health Administration] reports unreliable performance data; it affects quality of care by delaying — and potentially denying — deserving veterans timely care,” the officials wrote.

The briefing materials, obtained by The Washington Times through the Freedom of Information Act, make clear that the problems existed well before Mr. Obama took office, dating back at least to the Bush administration. But the materials raise questions about what actions the department took since 2009 to remedy the problems.

In recent months, reports have surfaced about secret wait lists at facilities across the country and, in the case of a Phoenix VA facility, accusations that officials cooked the books to try to hide long wait times. Some families said veterans died while on a secret wait list at the Phoenix facility.

That's all the cover that Obama and his sycophants need. It's Bush's Fault^TM, and the fact that Obama did nothing for five years is irrelevant.

Is there a cabinet or department under the Obama administration that isn't completely inept or crooked?

There is no evidence pointing to any responsibility or credibility for anything Obama says or does.

That's not true.  He played golf 163 times (source: http://obamagolfcounter.com/) since he took office, so you need to retract your statement that he did nothing for 5 years.

The libs are trying to get away from blaming Bush. Their first attempt to stray from the constant blame Bush strategy was global warming...

[Eupher]

the "madder than hell" lie puked up by the chief sycophant in the Obamalaughathon is just another way of putting distance between him and the shitstain bureaucrats (Shinseki being the top critter) who are directly related to the problem.

Barry isn't related to anything except his golf clubs and AF1.

[DumbAss Tanker]

I'm sure he'll get right to the bottom of it, right after he finishes getting right to the bottom of Fast & Furious, the IRS scandal, and Benghazi.

[thundley4]

How long before the left and the MSM is saying that the VA scandal isn't a scandal and it's old news even if it was a scandal?

More VA Whistleblowers Coming Forward, Campaign Says
http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2014/05/19/more-va-whistleblowers-coming-forward-campaign-says

Conscientious workers at the Veterans Health Administration aware of their employer's reputation for punishing people who expose wrongdoing were given a new outlet last week.

 The Project on Government Oversight (POGO) and the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America unveiled an encrypted web submission form Thursday soliciting horror stories in the wake of a nationwide furor about fudged wait time records and related veteran deaths in Phoenix.

 POGO Director of Communications Joe Newman says the groups are looking for systematic problems and received 310 submissions as of Monday morning. The majority of reports are thus far from veterans and members of the public, and less than 10 percent are from VA employees, Newman says.

More coming out of the VA. This will get worse.

[thundley4]

The last I heard, it's now up to 12 different VA centers.

At least 12. I expect more.

I wonder who I contact about the VA. I had some goofy shit happen up at the one in Minneapolis. That could have been the start of the kidney problems I've had over the last year and a half. This was back in 95/96 time frame. Completely ignored by the Doctors there.

Obama Was Told About VA Problems 6 Years Ago – 100 Vets Died Waiting

The Obama administration received clear notice more than five years ago that VA medical facilities were reporting inaccurate waiting times and experiencing scheduling failures that threatened to deny veterans timely health care — problems that have turned into a growing scandal.

Go ahead and get mad, Obama.  You're still a do-nothing shitbag.

Hey, they couldn't have how bad government handles VET healthcare come out while trying to force government run healthcare on the general populous.

[vesta111]

Not just the VA. but the Military medical complex  has been in a mess for years.

Some family's of service men received benefits others did not know about.  Most interesting how it works.  Years later looking back, I see things that were right in front of my nose but ignored or was warned not to discuss with others.

Fortunately my Ex was a submariner on a boomer and a E-8 at the time, we the family of bubbleheads received care above and beyond the care of the surface fleets family's.

You may not know this but the more important a person in the military the bigger benefits they get for their family's.  I am not talking about rank but skill needed at the time.      Some E-4 riding a boomer  received a bonus of $15,000 to sign on for another 4 years.

Crazy world that of the military, the men and woman lost some rights as American Citizens--------The VA was created to help the E-military survive after their duty was done.

So who comes first today, the 60 year old hero's of the past or the hero's of today and their family's that must survive in todays world ?

Just rambling about in the world I was born into and my children were born into.

Never forget it was Nixon who in the 1970's cut the money to pay for our at war hero's to get the replacement limbs and medical devices when sent from Japan to Tripler for medical care.  Then to find the budget was not to big or too expensive   
to give a replacement limb or even a cheap wheel chair.

Looking back I can understand why all the anti - war demonstrations took place. 

We had the draft back then, no choice and our family's came home in a box or totally messed up.  Bad time back then, lead a lot of us to go liberal, then along came the Peanut farmer, interesting man, no way would I want to sail with this strange man, he was in no way a man of the sea, or a leader of any kind.

Arrrg looking back is not a good thing unless we look forward to todays leaders.

Best short film of Nam was of a copter coming to get the wounded and a white man being cared for by a black medic and given a joint to ease his pain.

This thing is blowing up.  There are problems now in 26 states.

And it's not just about the wait lists.

Miami VA Whistleblower Exposes Drug Dealing, Theft, Abuse

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – When asked why he would risk his job and speak publicly, Detective Thomas Fiore considered the question carefully before answering.

“People are dying,” he finally said, “and there are so many things that are going on there that people need to know about.”

Fiore, a criminal investigator for the VA police department in South Florida, contacted CBS4 News hoping to shed light on what he considers a culture of cover-ups and bureaucratic neglect. Among his charges: Drug dealing on the hospital grounds is a daily occurrence.

“Anything from your standard prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet, and of course marijuana, cocaine, heroin, I’ve come across them all,” he explained.

Even inside the hospital, he says he was stopped from doing his job – investigating reports of missing drugs from the VA pharmacy. When the amount of a particular drug inside the pharmacy doesn’t match the amount that the pharmacy is supposed to have, a report, known as a “discrepancy report” is generated. Normally it was his job to investigate the reports to determine if they were the result of harmless mistakes or criminal activity. But all that changed, he said, about two years ago.

“I was instructed that I was to stop conducting investigations pertaining to controlled substance discrepancies,” he recalled.

He said he was personally told to stop investigating them by the hospital’s chief of staff, Dr. Vincent DeGennaro.

“I have no idea why,” he said. “He’s the chief of staff he doesn’t have to tell me why.”
