America didn't exist before 2008.

That said, while most of this was building up well prior to Obama taking office it's his mess now. He needs to step up and figure out how to fix it. That's why he's in office.

There were VA health care delays in 2008. Obama was warned about them when he got into office. It was a poorly worded sentence in that screen headline. It's now been at least 6 years since they started (most likely much longer) and at least 5 since he knew. He's done nothing. He has been responsible for it since January 2009. Bush was responsible in '08.

And republicans didn't give a shit about it in 08, nor did they care about all the veterans that would flood the system because of the wars. But yeah, poorly worded sentence and Obama.

Kindly list all of the Repugs who recently voted against expanding Vet funding. Probably the same ones bitching about Obama's lack of compassion.

The VA has been a fucked-up institution for decades.

If you live in a town with 1000 people there are probably 5 or 6 high school kids who could be a better president than him.

Actually, no. It was a lie. Fox News banks on their audience being stupid.

If you think that a billion dollar news corporation could "poorly word" a sentence, you're a fool. Their audience wants to blame Obama for everything, even for things he wasn't even around for, and they try to slip a couple past the goalie. They're playing to their audience. Anyone who watches Fox News and thinks they're being informed, and not told what they want to hear, is a goddamn moron.

It's like when Alex Jones says Obama is an alien lizard. He doesn't believe it. His audience desperately wants to believe and he gives it to them.

You're telling this to a middle aged man who has spent his whole life and thousands of dollars to build a shrine to a mediocre musical group which hasn't seen it's better days in decades. If Gene and Paul can bank on Roadhead, so can Rupert Murdoch.
