Obama, 2007: Time to End 'Deplorable Conditions at Some VA Hospitals

Then-senator Barack Obama, November 12, 2007:

After seven years of an Administration that has stretched our military to the breaking point, ignored deplorable conditions at some VA hospitals, and neglected the planning and preparation necessary to care for our returning heroes, America’s veterans deserve a President who will fight for them not just when it’s easy or convenient, but every hour of every day for the next four years.

By 2012, Obama continued to compare the performance of the VA during his administration favorably to his predecessor, declaring,

For the first time ever, we’ve made military families and veterans a top priority not just at DOD, not just at the VA, but across the government.

Now we know the report of at least 40 U.S. veterans dying while waiting for appointments at the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care system is only the tip of the iceberg.

Like your next President would say "What difference does it make". And your current President would say, "It's just a bump in the road". Any person who would vote for a Democrat in November is UN-American.

Well said 6:29. The Dems don't know the definition of truth. They do know "dumb" however. Thats what they think the "D" stands for when recording their political affiliation.
