‘I Will Not Tolerate It. Period.’

Posted by | May 21, 2014 11:33 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


President Obama said he “will not stand” for misconduct when it comes to taking care of our veterans.

The president called allegations of long treatment delays and preventable deaths “dishonorable” and “disgraceful” and said “I will not tolerate it. Period.”

The president’s comments came just moments after he met in the Oval Office with embattled Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki to receive an update on the controversy and investigation. They were joined by Rob Nabors, Obama’s Deputy Chief of Staff, who has been assigned to assist with the review of the agency.

The president announced he expects results of the initial review next week.

    Apparently someone was not watching what their subordinates were doing. Did they approve? Were they surprised they were caught? The VA needs a major house cleaning, someone is trying to cover up their ineptitude. So sad for our Vets.

      It may be more a lack of adequate funding than ineptitude. Probably best to wait for more facts to come out before judging.

        Yeah that’s right, we just need to throw more money at the problem. No, this is part and parcel of a government run system.

          maybe just have their family members drag their bodies (or parts) off the battle fields?

          so, being that you must have a vast knowledge of administering, your solution is…..?

          or perhaps you think a river of tears will wipe all the bad stuff away?

          so, go for it mister whiny tart, name a POTUS that has ACTUALLY done more for US Veterans than POTUS Obama – ?

            Obama has done more for veterans? So why is he in a pickle now with them some 6 years on from him becoming the president?
            Hey, I seem to remember the last time he used the word “period”. I think it was something like: “If you like your doctor and your current health care plan you can keep them – PERIOD!”
            If you can continue to believe what Obama says about anything after all his many lies you have no personal integrity left.

          Well, we’ve seen what happens when we “throw more money” at stupid sh*t ($3 million plus to kill Muslims in an unnecessary war for profit). And anybody who considers the care of our vets to be a “problem” should be shot!.

          • granpa.usthai May 21st, 2014 at 14:55

            the occupational liberation of Iraq was to find weapons of mass destruction that did not exist, Bunya. It was necessary in order to have a permanent US Base inside an Islamic Republic. The tremendous financial cost will more than be covered just as soon as US starts receiving FREE IRAQI OIL FOREVER. Casualties are collateral damage. Osama Bin Ladin forced US to invade Iraq because of the vast array of non existing weapons of mass destruction. Mission was accomplished during short cake walk.
            US MUST return to REPUBLICAN ABSOLUTE RULE before POTUS Obama destroys America.
            Republicans must take America back so the FREE IRAQI OIL FOREVER will begin flowing!!!

    Here we go with more words of outrage and a promise to get to the bottom of the problem. Still waiting for him to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal, Fast and Furious, and bring the killers of our Ambassador to Libya to justice. Don’t hold your breath folks, it’s the same old song and dance. I predict no one will be held to account. NO ONE!

      so exactly what should the President do, start another $1trillion dollar war, which undoubtedly you right wingers would be whining about too.

      FBI barred from making Benghazi arrests in Libya

      By CNN Foreign Affairs Reporter Elise Labott

      The Libyan government will not allow the FBI into Benghazi to arrest suspects for last year’s deadly terror attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission, a top State Department official told a House panel on Wednesday.

      Federal authorities have filed charges against suspects in connection with the September 11 attack on the mission and nearby CIA annex that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

        Every time Obama shouts his mouth off about doing something and then does nothing there is always an excuse. What will be the excuse when nothing happens with the VA scandal?

    • granpa.usthai May 21st, 2014 at 13:47

      you doing a might powerful whimpering today, Mr. Tart -er, kinda like a feller by the name of wayout use to do. Always the same type whining, bogus projections, no historical facts (actual documented occurrences that are basis for a valid complaint -of which you have NONE).

      One things for sure – this POTUS is not giving comfort, aide, or support for those who killed 4 (four) (FOUR) Americans as other POTUS in the past have done.
