Obama `madder than hell' over VA allegations
The White House chief of staff says President Barack Obama is "madder than hell" about reports of treatment delays at veterans' hospitals across the country.Sounds good, right? Based on that statement, one would expect the prez to be focused like a laser on fixing the problem. No one rests until things are straightened out. But as my dear old Daddy taught me, actions speak louder than words.
Top aide Denis McDonough tells CBS' "Face the Nation" that Obama is demanding that Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki (shin-SEHK'-ee) and others in the administration "continue to fix these things until they're functioning the way that our veterans believe they should."
(Saturday) ... President Obama golfed at the fancy Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va., an exclusive course that has hosted four President’s cups...However, the White House press pool reporter who was allowed to accompany obama wasn't allowed on the course. He spent the day in a maintenance shed.
As he noted in his White House Pool Report, “POTUS motorcade departed at 4:45 from the gated, lakefront campus of Robert Trent Jones’ signature golf course, which looked like a nice place to play golf, at least from the maintenance shed where pool spent the day.”I noticed that the pool reporter is named Kevin Diaz. Isn't that racist, sending a Hispanic to a golf course maintenance shed?
En route to the club, Diaz never laid eyes on Obama. But he did observe a funny driver on I-66.I choose to believe that the motorist knew full well who was in the motorcade...
“Poolster observed one motorist on I-66 from DC extend his middle finger at the motorcade, but unable to tell if said motorist knew who was in the motorcade, or just didn’t like being passed,” he wrote in his report.
