The scandal at the Veteran's Administration is rocking the Obama regime and may yet be one of the worst scandals of the Obama era. Already two major newspapers are starting to accuse the Obama administration of utter incompetence.

Are you of the thinking that the lack of proper and timely care our vets get in a VA healthcare facility only occurs in a VA facility? Ha! Just wait until Obamacare is fully implemented!

Here we go this is not an Obama scandal this is a congress scandle. President does not run the VA congress does . And here comes the republican talking points threw our republican newspapers. Next will be Fox then Rush l and here come the committees and millions and millions to blame Obama. When do these tea party folks take any responsibility and come up with solutions. All they do is play the blame game.

You're right about who runs the VA. Nancy Pelosi is blaming Bush. So since the VA is ran by congress, and the democrats controlled both houses of congress in Bush's last 2 years and Obama's first 2 years, and still control the senate, shouldn't she be blaming herself and her comrades for the recent failures? Obama promised to fix this mess. Instead of only passing his signature disaster ACA, why didn't he have congress address the VA too? He had complete control of government for his first 2 years, he could have easily had congress make the necessary adjustments! Why didn't he?
As for the blame game, Obama is pretty good at that himself!

I just don 't understand how or why you came up with that post so let me help. In 2004 the democrats brought a bill to congress for. $26 billion to build 22 new facilities around the country. It was to handle the number of injured in Iraq and Afgan. Every republican in congress v**ed no. That's what polosi was talking about. Then in 2012 the republicans finally agreed to appropriate more money for the VA. 7 years to late. Ignoring the problems that were only getting worse. Just look at the bills that have been blocked by Boehner and the filibusters in the Senate by republicans . Please look at these things before you posts . It's all there. You have to get out of the Fox News bubble to understand the real cause of this problem. And real facts. Please understand what happened, and let's get together and fix it.

So happy to see new faces on 1PP. There are some absolutely wonderful people who post here, and then there are those whose only goal in life is to be insufferable.

Once enough people see what is going on and will believe it, there are no longer any surprises at what our government does. On the surface, it can be automatically assumed that if the government is doing it, it is or will be a drastic and emphatic FAILURE. Our government is being run by some of the most heartless, cruel, and inhumane persons in the nation. It isn't very far-fetched to say that our government as a whole is sociopathic and not to be trusted with anything of true value.

Talk about incompetent. The WH press team outed the head of CIA operations by mistake at Obamas surprise drive by yesterday. Of course Karzi wouldn't go meat him and going off the base is much to dangerous for the likes of Obama. Now he will fly away and leave the head of our spy agency there and exposed.

"The Obama Administration’s press service unwittingly put the real name of the CIA’s top spy in Afghanistan on the ‘pool report’ distributed among journalists accompanying the American president on a surprise trip to Kabul’s Bagram Airfield base.

The identity of the man dubbed ‘Chief of Station’, the usual address to a CIA local chief, was inadvertently added to a list of 15 US officials supposed to take part in a military briefing with Obama at the base, and emailed it to the White House press pool on Saturday, the Washington Post reported.

The unusual address was observed by Scott Wilson, the Washington Post's White House bureau chief, who informed the White House press officials.

“Wilson said that after the report was distributed, he noticed the unusual reference to the station chief and asked White House press officials in Afghanistan whether they had intended to include that name,” reported the Washington Post. “Initially, the press office raised no objection, apparently because military officials had provided the list to distribute to news organizations. But senior White House officials realized the mistake and scrambled to issue an updated list without the CIA officer's name.”

Up to 6,000 journalists, including some for foreign outlets, received the original version of the document, yet the identity of the CIA officer has not been disclosed. The list also contained such names as the US Ambassador to Afghanistan James B. Cunningham, the commander of US and ISAF forces in the country, Marine Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. and other top brass.

There have been no comments either from the CIA or the White House on how the CIA officer will proceed with his duties in the Afghan capital from now on. Yet the White House press service informed inspective Washington Post’s employee that making the CIA’s officer name public might endanger his family.

As the Washington Post noted, with hundreds of subordinate officers and analysts under his command, the CIA Station Chief in Kabul is unlikely take part in clandestine missions and operates from the US Embassy compound anyway, whereas senior Afghan government officials are probably aware of his identity anyway.

In neighboring Pakistan, at least three CIA station chiefs have been exposed over recent years, and in at least one case an officer had to flee the country after receiving death threats.

The Washington Post points out that the latest incident of a kind took place back in 2003 during the George W. Bush presidency, when former CIA operative Valerie Plame was deliberately exposed as the US officials tried to apply pressure on her husband, an American diplomat criticizing the US invasion to Iraq.

President Barack Obama made a surprise visit to the US largest military installation in Afghanistan to mark Memorial Day with US troops ahead of planned withdrawal from the country, and to try and talk the outgoing Afghan President Hamid Karzai into signing a security deal. The latter aspiration proved to be in vain. "
