The White House chief of staff said Sunday that President Obama is “madder than hell” about reports that dozens of veterans died due to preventable delays at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Denis McDonough said the president is demanding that Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and others in the administration “continue to fix these things until they’re functioning the way that our veterans believe they should.”
POLL:Should Barack Obama resign the Presidency?
“The president is madder than hell. I’ve got the scars to prove it,” he added.
The VA is investigating scheduling practices at its hospitals as part of a nationwide audit after rumors surfaced that a secret electronic wait list showed information from veterans that was entered into computers at a Phoenix VA facility but never saved. Dozens of veterans reportedly died while waiting on the fake lists.
The department’s secretary, Eric Shinseki, resigned on Friday, just one day after lawmakers called for more accountability.
Comments
Obama said in a speech back in 2009 on how he was going to "make sure" that Veterans get the care they need. AGAIN, all talk, no action, he was in charge of his cabinet and Obama is the one to blame for the long waiting times that led to the deaths of many good Veterans.
ONE MORE SCANDAL that has caused lives. There is no end to the corruption & scandals of this Socialist anti-American Dictator.
It's not like they have to create a system from scratch. Thousands and thousands of hospitals all across the US have computer systems that make appointments, schedule treatments, dispense drugs, etc. and they work just fine. Sure I sometimes have to wait for a month to get in to see my doctor but I don't wait for years or never like the VA system. The VA could just buy an existing systemm. This is what you get when you let the government take care of your health care which is also why I have never attempted to go to a VA medical facility even though as a retired vet I am elligable. I figure I'd be dead before I saw a doctor.
Mr Obummer is not mad about this. This is the crazy crap that he does to demoralize the country
Yeah, just like he was 'mad' about the IRS scandal, and 'mad' about the Benghazi murders - he's only 'fake mad' about everything - he couldn't care less about any of this, and least of all our veterans. Doesn't matter what anyone does - nobody has been fired since he took office - they just get shuffled off to some other dept. Obama just needs to disappear himself.
Hey, soetoro. Liar, liar, your pants should be on fire. Shut UP. You don't care about them at all, and you can't fool me. I hope this takes you down...all the way.
cheaper in barak ocommies eyes to let them die than to fix them just a preview of ocommie care death panels who will bonus for denying care
Yea, he resigned but where did Obama reassign him to. Obama isn't mad, under that smerk his plan to kill Americans, especially our veterans is slowly proceeding as schedule, Who is he trying to kid. If he was so mad then why didn't he fire the head honcho. Just another lie. What's new.
