Again, the White House claims the president learned of the VA scandal through news reports... Is this president an out-of-touch idiot, or a calculated habitual liar?
JIM ACOSTA, CNN: When was the president first made aware of these problems? Of these fraudulent lists that were being kept to hide the wait times, when was he first made aware of those problems? And when did other White House officials, top White House officials, become aware of these problems?
JAY CARNEY: When you say these problems, the fact that there have been bureaucracies --
ACOSTA: The delays have been known for some time.
CARNEY: You mean the specific allegations that I think were reported first by your news network out of Phoenix, I believe. We learned about them through the reports. I will double check if that is not the case.

Oh, wait! I thought Obama already knew about what was going on at the VA...
Obama, 2007: Time to End 'Deplorable Conditions at Some VA Hospitals' | National Review Online
That means that he either knew and didn't give a rat's ass, or he's a lying piece of ****.
One thing is certain; he's the biggest dumbass that has ever sat in the Oval Office.
Its almost like he is expected to lie. Everybody is done with the spin.
Obama said he was in charge, apparently he is not.

Its not just Obama. Govt is incompetent, period. He just happens to be the one in charge of administration right now. But hey, you guys keep electing the same people from both parties. Maybe we'll get a different result next time.
This is the fifth major failure of his administration that Mr Obama has learned about through the news media, others being the IRS, NSA spying on Merkel, Fast and Furious, and the limp Obamacare website.
Tough to believe he wasn't aware with all the work Mrs Obama and Mrs Biden have been doing for the veterans families.
I guess we all should be wondering who he will blame this one on, can't be his fault - at least he didn't break the promise his administration would be different, it's different all right!
They said BO was completely outraged this happened.
Here we go again with the excuse that this administration is either dishonest as hell or just incompetent as hell. A fairly familiar refrain from them.
He was, he was outraged it got out before the midterms, that some reporter had the temerity to report on this.
I "attacked" the tactic the messenger has consistently employed from issue to issue, something that escaped your notation. The humorous joke/photo must have distracted you, that or your Jedi mind powers gleaming "my side" in all of this did.:roll:It is noted that you attack the messenger rather than bother to discuss the subject. A fairly familiar refrain from your side.

That you don't like that I pointed out the "we are either lying or incompetent boobs who only ever learn about anything by watching the news" tactic routinely employed by the administration is really not of any consequence. It is a fact that has been their excuse over and over again. What is noted is that you can spin all day long, it does not change the reality that you came into the thread to attck me for making a joke. You did not comment on anything at all, offering literally only a drive by attack. It is understandable that you have noting to say about the story, but this whining at me about the behavior you are engaging in is rather amusing as well hypocritical. But I'm guessing you decided you had actually been participating in the thread when you ignored the content to attack me. :dohYou can spin all day long, it does not change the reality you came into the thread to attack those that put forth a news story. You did not comment on the validity of the story, you did not comment on the story at all. You just came in to do a little drive by attack.
It is understandable that you have nothing to say about the story, as it would look silly to defend it or try to (yet again) excuse away the deniability it seems this administration seems to use constantly. But I am guessing the inability to comment on content goes far beyond that for you…
