Obama blames others for his bad decisions

| April 11, 2013 7:00 AM

No shame of guilt, President Obama.

The Veterans Administration has been serving our veterans for many decades. There have been many problems with any large department. Their budget of $140 billion for 2012, haven’t produced a budget (as required by law) for almost four years. Many of us, unfortunately know how you feel about laws and rules.

You, Mr. Obama and staff, can’t possibly be proud of the more than $100 million spent by VA staff leaving to be better than union members. It must be fabulous and quite elegant as the average expense for attendees range from $2,400 to $5,000 per person. Our vets waiting more than four years for service and help, only to have one out of six services incorrectly don’t; can’t be happy about this. More suicide deaths than in combat. What a disgrace to those who served or still fighting to serve America.

We’re not at all surprised by your decision to take away G.I. Bill money from our vets trying to finish their education. Those who can’t read, will believe your attempt to blame it on the Republicans. It was your decision.
