       More outrage

       The President is outraged at the conduct of the VA and promised
       a "swift reckoning"  I assume this is the new code phrase for
       "consequences".  I hope this "outrage" draws more of a reaction
       and this doesn't turn out to be a "phony scandal" six months
       down the line.  Our vets deserve better than this.

       His body language indicated that he was FORCED to give this
       press conference and it annoyed the hell out of him.

       I think that means 9 holes instead of 18 tomorrow.

       If recent history has taught us anything, it's that this
       investigation will carry on for months, nothing will happen,
       nobody will lose their job and six months or so down the line
       democrats will accuse republicans of using this as a "political
       tool" against the democrats and may even use the term "phony
       scandal" when referring to it.

       Lots of outrage and finger pointing all around, but fairly
       little to address the central issue which is more about
       logistics than any mismanagement.
       The current system (which is currently transitioning to a faster
       electronic format) cannot handle the rising amount of claims,
       its just numbers.  Its simple as that.

       Concealing the problem is mismanagement.  Creating secret
       waiting lists is not only mismanagement but is dishonest and
       does a disservice to our vets.  The people they are supposed to
       serve dying because of it is a tragedy.
