THIS INCOMPETENT BOOB IS GETTING SO OUTRAGED IT'S BEGINNING TO AFFECT HIS GOLF GAME

It doesn't matter whether it's the IRS targeting the Tea Party or the Department of Justice spying on reporters. The claim from Barack Obama is always the same. Why, he heard about it on the news same as you and I! And he's mad as hell, same as you and I! See? He's just a regular guy. And so it is again, we're told, with the emerging scandal at the Veterans Administration.

Two problems, however:

1. He is not just a regular guy. He's the president, and these people work for him. If this sort of thing keeps happening on his watch and he just hears about it on the news like the rest of us, then someone needs to get a little basic instruction in executive management.

2. Why would anyone believe him when he says he didn't know about it? It's an all-too-self-serving story, made all the more so by the fact that his chief of staff tells harrying tales of incurring "scars" while briefing the president, and oh by the way, you know Obama is pouring lots of money into the VA, right?

For Obama, the objective of governing is never to govern well. It's simply not to be blamed when governing proves the inevitable failure you get with inept leadership.

Do you know what you call a leader who is constantly getting outraged when he discovers what his underlings are doing? You call him incompetent. Not because you expect him to know every detail of everything happening every day. The federal government is obviously way too big for that (which means it needs to be much, much smaller, but that's another posting or two). No, you call him incompetent because as the top executive, his job is to put a management structure in place that makes sure responsible people are in place who will be aware of what's happening, and will put a stop to it when nonsense like this goes on.

Sometimes you miss something, and you have to own up and then clean it up. But with Obama, it's a constant pattern of abuses no one catches, and then Obama's people telling us how "mad as hell" he got when he heard about it.

By the way, what makes you think ObamaCare is going to run any differently than this? Government-run health care puts delays like these in place as a matter of course to save money. That way it will have more money to invest in contributor-supported global warming schemes.  If you don't like the sounds of how the VA runs, all you happy new ObamaCare enrollees, just you wait. Actually, some folks don't have to wait. It's happening to them already. Obama must be mad as . . . eh, you've heard this one before.
