shinseki resigned. so do i feel better? no. wiring back our dead veterans? no. will it bring soleace to their families? no. not to worry. the president is on it. he ll make everyone accountable. he will take away their 2014 bonuses. really? god help us. yet the president bemoans that shinseki resigned because he is, quote, a champion of veterans. quote, a very good man. well, mr. president, with all due respect, you re wrong. a good man would have said mr. president, our soldiers are not just dying in foreign countries. they are dying here in america. a champion of veterans would have said, mr. president, our soldiers are not dying on the battlefield but in our union-run veterans hospitals. what is that?
so lieutenant colonel tony schafer. thank you for being with us. now to my open. ever get sick? call the doctor? no answer? when they do open, you can t get an appointment. but they ll get back to you. and then they never do. because your name went in the garbage can. you get sicker. you know you re dying. you wait. but no doctor. because you were put on a death list when your name went in that garbage can. welcome to barack obama s america. where corruption scandal and lawlessness reign. where truth, justice and integrity went right into that same garbage can and make no mistake, you re next. folks, it ain t going to get better. get ready because obamacare will do the same to you. yesterday, v.a. secretary
