Web Montage: Nobody Liked How Obama Responded to the VA Scandal

Nobody Liked How Obama Responded to the VA Scandal (Washington Free Beacon)

President Obama’s meandering press conference Wednesday on the growing scandal in the Department of Veterans Affairs was widely panned by politicians and commentators.

VA Secretary Eric Shinseki was not fired over the news of deadly waiting times at VA hospitals around the country, and Obama, after insisting he was angry about the allegations and vowing to get to the bottom of things, then laid out supposed successes of the VA during his administration.

It received bipartisan condemnation, with Rep. David Scott (D., Ga.) calling himself “disappointed” and shouting that the president needed to show more urgency, and Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Mich.) saying he was “horribly disappointed.”
