run the country. or am i wrong? and that s the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction. joining us from washington, kirsten powers, and here in the studio monica crowley, both are fox news analysts. so you are about to enter the no gloating zone. i m not gloating. no gloating here. even though you did say at the beginning on the radio. i did. all right. that you do not believe this president could administrate. could run anything. right. that was one of the many points that those of us on the right were making and warning about barack obama back in 2008. all of the examples you lay out are true. that you are seeing gross incompetence from the v.a. straight on through. but i think there is another issue here. and this is something that we also warned about in addition to the incompetence and the fact that he had never been an executive. i know you don t like to deal in ideology, but you are dealing with the president for whom far left ideology is everything. so, it s les
competency. and you may remember that the radio guys pointed out that barack obama had little experience running anything. that he was basically a community organizer and theorytitian if you analyze the facts seems to be accurate. problem skills and problem solving ability are dubious. president obama was quite clear, quite clear that if elected president he would reform the veterans affairs department. the true test of our patriotism is whether we will serve our returning heroes as well as they served us, that s why i pledged to build a 21st century v.a. as president. that means no more red tape. so what happened to that pledge? well, the v.a. is now a scandal. there are allegations that more than 1,000 american vets have actually died because they could not access proper care. the v.a. admits that more
than 120,000 vets waited far too long for doctors so see them. in addition, the feds have paid out $845 million to settle v.a. malpractice suits. senator coburn of oklahoma, a physician himself has identified $25 billion wasted by the v.a. despite that $100 million given to v.a. ad in bonus money in 2010 alone. a shocking abuse of taxpayer money. and while all that was happening, president obama did nothing, absolutely nothing add that the border, iraq, putin, the irs and you have an administration that s basically missing in action. in fact, for you history buffs what s happening right now is almost identical to president u.s. grants second term. it all fell apart for the old general because did he not pay attention. so, to be fair, it looks like the conservative radio talk show hosts were correct in their assessment of barack barack obama s ability to
about what he called the fundamental transformation of the nation. that s an opinion which you are certainly entitled to, you can t base that on fact because it s hard to know intent. can i just make one quick point here? go ahead. when you talk about incompetence. here is how you can tell that it s not incompetence. because this president laid out a series of objectives to transform the country and he has done it in a lawless way. this is a very intelligent man. he knows that he is defying the law, requight rewriting the law of obamacare and. overrides your, the v.a. he pledged and he didn t do it. i don t think it had to do ideology. think at this had to do with mismanagement. is he too busy the other things to pay attention to that. you read the polls, you know what s going on. the president is cratering in job approval among independence, even among democrats. 25% of democrats according to the cbs poll think he is doing a horrible job. radio guys in the beginning, i u
