And as the POTUS, he should be more informed than he is.
When you are the POTUS and resort to saying "I'm just finding out about this, just like you guys", that means you are incompetent. Only an idiot would use that line more than once.
Exactly. I'm wondering why Democrats are okay with that... especially when Carney admitted Obama knew these problems existed in 2008.
That's ridiculous, he's basically saying "look at all the money we are spending" as if throwing money at a problem is the answer for everything.
Jay Carney did the same thing yesterday in his Press Briefing - he talked about all the money that Obama has gotten from Congress for the VA. They will soon start blaming the Republicans in Congress for not giving them money for the VA ...... they can't keep their stories straight.
Wow. And this friggin rat, traitor gets to get his expensive sex change surgery fast tracked, while others have to continue waiting to get REAL issues dealt with. WTH! And of course, the main stream media doesnt point this out.
Easier to cut off a **** than treat colon cancer. Plus it is politically sexier.
Just because you are a veteran doesn't mean you know how to run the VA administration.
It's like all the political appointee "experts" from the universities who go to work in the real world and wind up scurrying back to their safe bubble world on campus because they can't cut the mustard.
He is more competent than some around here . He is the POTUS. Gladly for 3 more years or so.
Obama is in a death spiral. His defense has declined from he's better than Bush, McCain, and Romney, to he's more competent than some around here. I happen to agree: he's not more competent than many around here.

Naah, that's just his less competent sycophants who are in a death spiral.
Obama doesn't care. Plenty more at where they came from.
The White House has already announced that it knew nothing about these VA death scandles, until it read about them in the newspapers. And here, they simply try to brush off questions with the usual talking points and platitudes.
Even CNN is getting tired of the constant "We knew nothing, it's not a big deal, we're handling it, nothing to see here, move along" attitude the White House takes to each and every thing that goes wrong in the Obama administration. And that's a lot of things going wrong.
But these same media outlets will support the next Democrat who runs for President, just as they supported the last ten.
CNN's Jake Tapper Grills White House Chief Of Staff: 'How Many Dead Veterans Do You Need?'
May 15, 2014, 6:15 PM
CNN’s Jake Tapper hit White House Chief of Staff Dennis McDonough hard over the Veteran’s Affairs scandal Thursday afternoon on The Lead.
Tapper asked McDonough how it’s possible for President Obama to continue to place confidence in Shineski when the Secretary has made a mess of veterans and their medical treatments.
“The Obama Administration cares deeply about veterans and wants to ensure that they will receive all treatment necessary,” McDonough replied.
Regarding Shinseki’s role in the fiasco, McDonough told Tapper, “He holds himself to account.”
Tapper, visibly upset with McDonough’s praise and defense of Shinseki, impatiently asked the Chief of Staff, “How many dead veterans do you need before somebody asks the question within the White House, ‘Maybe this guy isn’t the best steward of these veterans?’”
The reason the President knows nothing about his administration's scandals before the fact, insulates him from impeachment actions no matter how farcical, ludicrous, clumsy or absurd his denials sound.
That's ridiculous, he's basically saying "look at all the money we are spending" as if throwing money at a problem is the answer for everything.
I was referring to Reporter Jake Tapper having a great script, not that bozo representing the
WH
IMO money was part of the problem, e.g. the bonuses clouded VA care.
I don't think anyone in the federal government should get bonuses.
They are not a private company with profits.
The argument that they need to compete with private sector is BS. Try to find those kind of
jobs they have in federal service in the private sector. They don't exist.
