So Obama knew even as Senator of these lingering issues and in 6 years as President has done nothing to prevent these episodes to occur. Obamacare rollout failed, VA issues galore on top of all the other lesser but still important failures. That we know of, of course.
How can an administration that can’t properly take care of roughly 23 millions Veterans be trusted to provide care for 230 millions Americans?
How do you know he’s done nothing?
And in your typical fashion, you drag the ACA into this—when even you know that the two issues are not connected in any way.
You’re trying to muddy the waters again, and you’re using your usual logical fallacies in yet another vain attempt to change the subject.
Another Colossal Fail for you.
Republicans blocked a $21 billion spending bill to help the VA in February.
Do try to keep up.
I have four words for you. George Bush Walter Reed. Crawl back under your bridge.
It’s adorable how these people JUST NOW figured out the VA has serious issues. Where have they been? It’s almost like they are picking and choosing what to be outraged about, huh?
