Obama and the VA scandal

[Jim in CT]

Am I the only one who finds it disturbing that when these stories come out, time and time again, Obama claims that he didn't know about it until he heard about it in the media? Isn't he more closely connected to these things than we are? How disengaged is this giy? And even if it's true that he's so aloof he doesn't know anything until it's reported in th emedia, WHT ISN'T HE EMBARASSED TO SAY THAT OUT LOUD? Is he that disconnecxted, that his political handlers can't tell him and Carney to stop saying that, even if it's true.

God Almighty,
