Obama’s playfully earnest PR clowns

2014_06 Jay Carney BHO's old Press Sec

Asked whether he had ever lied to the media, Jay Carney stated, “The answer is no.” That, of course, was a lie. Here are just a few of Carney’s biggest lies:

  • In April, an email from deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes dated September 14, 2012, emerged in which Rhodes explicitly stated that then-UN ambassador Susan Rice should say the “protests are rooted in an Internet video.”  Carney said the email was not about Benghazi.
  • In mid-May 2014, the American Legion called the resignation of top VA health official Dr. Robert Petzel “a continuation of business as usual [because] Dr. Petzel was already scheduled to retire this year.”  Carney said the American Legion had praised VA for making Petzel retire.
  • As late as October of 2013, Carney stated (again), “The fact of the matter is, if you had insurance on the individual market prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and you have that plan today, you can keep it, you’re grandfathered in forever. No matter how crummy the plan is.”  After Politifact named this the 2013 Lie of the Year, Carney said no one had ever seriously made that claim.

PETE’S PAGE; THURSDAY EDITION

Posted by Pistol Pete

Every night when I go to bed I pray to the Lord: If You’re ready for me, I’m ready to go. It’s just so depressing to have to witness the hardship and pain the left and one man in particular have wrought upon my country and he’s got his foot jammed on the accelerator because he apparently thinks he hasn’t made people suffer enough. As if Obamacare wasn’t bad enough he plans to inflict cap-and-tax regulations through his assassins at the EPA to crush the coal industry completely and raise energy rates exponentially. Just because he can. Brownouts,blackouts,what does he care? As long as he can use the climate change hoax as a convenient excuse he can justify it in his own twisted mind.

There was a special hearing on the VA scandal last night and it went exactly the same as every other hearing. Officials had been pre-warned by the regime to say nothing. Stonewall. Keep your mouth shut and you’ll walk away from this clean. The GOP can’t do a damn thing to you.

Obama and Holder will protect you as long as you keep quiet. That’s the way this bag of bastards approaches every crime they commit. The GOP is calling for Holder-Himmler to investigate the VA. What the hell are they smoking? In what hallucinogenic state do they think that corrupt prick is going to do anything? Nothing is ever going to happen because even if democrats disapprove of what Obastard does they can’t say anything that would jeopardize the 95% loyalty from the parasite class that they would perish without.

Veterans Affairs Management Accountability Act

May 21, 2014: The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed (390 to 33) the Veterans Affairs Management Accountability Act. If the Senate passes and the President signs this bill into law, it would be much easier (read: possible) for the scandal-plagued VA to fire employees based on poor performance (read: clean out dead wood). YAYS were bipartisan; NAYS came from Democrats ONLY.

May 22, 2014: The day before Memorial Day weekend started, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) asked for the Senate to bring this bill to a vote.  Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) objected on behalf of Senate Democrats. As chair of the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs, Sanders has the power to delay ANY action on this important bill INDEFINITELY. He says in the video below he is going to hold a HEARING …. in June.

Senate Dems Block Veterans Bill [:33]

Q. Guess who hates the idea of dead wood getting fired?
A. The UNION that protects said dead wood from accountability.

Q. Guess what Socialist Senator is owned by the UNIONS?
A. Bernie Sanders.

Remember back in 2009 when Democrats kept screaming about how Republicans opposed Obamacare because we supposedly WANTED people to DIE?

Democrat Alan Grayson Claims “Republicans Want You To Die” (:19)

May 15, 2014: Senator Sanders justified his “sit on all VA reform legislation until hell freezes over” policy by telling CNN “We know that people die every day.”

Sanders also claimed, “There are problems, and we have got to get at those problems. But we need the facts to lead us to where we want to go.” But Congress AND the TWO presidents have KNOWN SINCE 2005 that the VA was failing veterans by delaying care, wasting money and falsifying their records!

Sanders NEVER served in the military, so why is he CHAIR of the Senate’s Committee on Veterans Affairs? Because he votes the way Harry Reid tells him to vote. Officially, he is an Independent (not a Democrat), but he describes himself as a “Democratic Socialist” which means he’s not the centrist his Independent status might suggest, but rather a Progressive Obamacrat.

My smoking hair

The HEADLINES about the VA scandal have been making my hair stand up and smoke. I couldn’t bear to read the stories until Dearest talked to our Rep. Tom Reed and learned VA services in our area appear to be good. Phew. I’ve got a kid who uses them for a war injury. My heart goes out to those who are NOT getting care, but relieved my inner Mama Grizzly can calm down and take a BREATH about one piece of good news. Plus, my hair.

Leading liberals have long touted the VA as an efficient model of government-run health care.

  • In 2009, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, wrote, “The system for veterans is by all accounts one of the best-performing and most-cost-effective elements in the American medical establishment.”
  • In 2011, New York times columnist Paul Krugman called the VA a “huge success story.”

Yeah, right.

  • Whistleblowers have now identified 26 VA facilities around the country experiencing similar problems. One says illegal dealing of VA pharmaceuticals was a daily occurrence at his hospital.
  • In Los Angeles, federal bureaucrats tried to cover up their decade-long backlog by simply canceling 40,000 diagnostic tests and treatments for American veterans with cancer and other illnesses.
  • One veteran who had a small spot on his forehead confirmed as cancerous in 2011, but was forced to wait four months before having it removed, by which time, it had spread and has since killed him.

The Republican-dominated House of Representatives has passed a DOZEN VA reform bills; they’re all gathering dust in the Democrat-dominated Senate.

GOP Rep: House Passed VA Bills Collecting Dust On Reid’s Desk

My FOX news update email said the VA scandal “has become a crushing burden for vulnerable Democrats.”

Good! I hope it squashes the corruptocrats FLAT.

Apologies for my lack of attention to this regular feature. This subject upsets me so much, I was literally SHAKING by the end of my blogging day on Saturday. Keeping track of where I read what just didn’t happen.

Obama should be mad at himself

CNN: Obama’s VA Scandal Anger Seems “Rather Hollow”

Numerous Examples Of Obama Appearing To Be Left In The Dark

Democrats have been quick to blame the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But wounded warriors coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan cost $4,800 each on average, while aging vets cost $8,800 each on average. Iraq and Afghan vets account for 7% of those treated, yet use only 4% of the money spent on health care.

Democrats have also been quick to blame “not enough money” (when are they not?) … but Investor’s Business Daily crunched the numbers and found that from 2000 to 2013, the VA’s budget nearly tripled, while the population of veterans declined by 4.3 million.

Roger L. Simon: “With veterans dying while waiting lists are falsified, it’s hard to see government healthcare as anything but incompetent, disgraceful and quite possibly criminal.”

I know nothing!

OBAMA I know nothing

Almost two months after the VA scandal hit the news, Obama said he didn’t know how widespread the problem was, whether it was big or just “episodic.” But he wanted to wait and see the report before saying more.

Really?! He needs to WAIT for a report?

Check out what he knew and WHEN he knew it:

2005: As a member of the Veterans Affairs committee, Senator Obama was briefed on problems at the VA.

2007: Senator Obama said, “Keeping faith with those who serve must always be a core American value and a cornerstone of American patriotism. Because America’s commitment to its servicemen and women begins at enlistment, and it must never end.”

2008: Candidate Obama railed against VA failures under Bush saying, “How is that acceptable in the United States of America? The answer is, it’s not. It’s an outrage. And it’s a betrayal, a betrayal of the ideals that we ask our troops to risk their lives for.”

2008: The Obama-Biden transition team was warned by Veterans Affairs officials that VA medical facilities were lying about wait times that threatened veterans’ health.

2009: Liberals touted the VA health system as the perfect example of how good ‘socialized medicine’ can be, so we totallyl need Obamacare.

2011: Congress was informed that “gaming the system” at the VA was so widespread, employees would look to get around regulations as soon as the rules were implemented.

2013: House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman personally warned Obama about “failures, deceptions, and lack of accountability permeating VA’s healthcare system.”
