that s a good idea. i don t think we need to privatize everything. i think this is a straw man argument here. the president said today he s prague bragging about spending $40 billion more. he says these computer systems are all outdated, they are from the 70s, they don t make any sense. where did the money go? the guys who created health care.gov to be in charge of the v.a. there s a doctor shortage. this is the guy who took doctors away from people through obamacare. the idea of privatizing, people forget that before obamacare, if you look back and say it was a wonderful system, it was a terribly managed by the insurance companies and hospitals, they functioned worth than the v.a. money hospitals hospitals did them.
shinseki himself calls this report the findings reprehensib reprehensible, perry, but can he survive this? i don t think so. i think the number of democrat senators, republicans have been criticizing him for a while and we saw five democratic senators and you look at that list of senators and a lot of them are up for reelection in 2014. it is a case when the president stuck with secretary sebellious for a long time despite problems of health care.gov and the difference being one and the politics are that much more sharp and two, we re talking about potential actual deaths from what happened here and the health care website is still here and these problems are much more severe. the politics of this and then there s the reality of what this report showed which is disturbing. there is a discrepancy. and officials claim patient wait times of 24 days and the general inspector found it was 115 days to get a first appointment and almost four months and so you look at these numbers and you say what would be the rationale
Investigations on the benghazi, irs, fast and furious. a billion dollars spent on health care.gov. once they say there s an investigation, then they say we kpt talk about it anymore until the media loses interest then they don t have to be held accountable. exactly. i m letting bob s heart take a couple of extra beats to recover. it s an incredibly sloppy mistake. probably lazy, careless. it seems like they don t care about the safety of their people overseas. i don t know who they put in charge of doing this. if it s a 20-year-old, 30-year-old, they need to be fired. remember what obama as senator said about valerie plame, we have it right here. he called for an immediate investigation, called it a criminal act, jeopardize the safety networks of our intelligence agencies.

Allegations? it s like he s discovered this all this newspaper and i ve been working on for six years. on the hill, we ve talked about there s bipartisan outrage. several measures that have been introduced. george, you mentioned the senator majority leader, harry reid, do you think he moves forward in the house? do you think this will be the kind of issue that will unit fie both sides? yes. you ll get some photos votes on common measures. this comes at the end of six particularly intense instructive months that began in october with health care.gov. it s a teachable moment about the actual scope and proper governance of government. we have to back off and say we re trying to do things we don t know how to do. deliver health care. the private sector is talented at doing that. but the chances of democrats
Midterm elections. sandra, do you think this is just typical first lady stuff or is there something else going on here? her likability factor is huge right now for democrats. we re hearing they want her and not her husband. so it s going to be interesting. school lunches, obamacare, health care, she s put herself out there and she s right now winding up to engage in more engage in more than the 2010 midterms so they see her as a major weapon approaching the midterm elections. they re going to use that to their benefit and by the way, she doesn t have to do this as she s campaigning for her president anymore. she can be a little more outspoken than she had been in the past. i think this is the report of her having her own political ambitions. i don t think this is just michelle obama trying to help democrats or change the school lunch program. why do you say that? if you look how active she s been in a policy perspective, not just, you know, working with
They ve understood let s not give them a monthly benchmark. make them cry for about a week but from their mind, it s good politics to turn it down. transparent administration america, of course not. they want obamacare to go away. do you know what benchmark i would like to see? i haven t heard how the security is twoing work for health care.gov. as more people dump out of the state s exchanges because they re failing and then sign on to the big national one, i want to know that they re going to be safe and secure. so that is an update. i don t care what the number would look like but i would like an update. there s a bill that needs to make its way. no updates. no soup for you. coming up, new reaction to the growing scandal of the department of veterans affairs. the secretary heeding calls to let more veterans get care at private hospitals. plus the first lady front and center when it comes to school lunches and other policy issues. why mrs. obama is flexing her muscles now. mine was earned in korea in 1953.
Lackluster security. eric, do you think the reason that president obama keeps general shinseki in is because he can run interference sew can deal with all the incoming. then it deflects off the president. when the media stops focusing on this and move along, then he can make some internal hr changes? i think that s exactly what it is. as long as eric shinseki is the guy, the face of this, justice kathleen sebelius was the face of the health care.gov. notice when that fixed they moved her out. so when they fix the v.a., they ll move shinseki out or he ll be able to step down. but i would disagree. i would say that in every organization, if there has to be accountability, the buck stops here, someone has to take some of the blame. and you go to the stop and you go to as high as it goes. if it stops at shinseki, i m not sure it stops in phoenix. it may go higher. it may be systemwide f. it is systemet ettett ick, i think yo
Nor than health care.gov was signing up. i don t care. i m not convinced, millio7 mill million, i m not convinced they signed up. you re not convinced the sun is coming up. he s taking shots at republicans based on a number someone told him. this is it a guy who didn t know about benghazi, didn t know about the irs, didn t know about don t forget reverend wright. until he watched it at tv. bill ayers. or the dog. here s the point. at one point he said, let me do the math and he came up with 15 million. where did that come from? are you kidding me? not only that, but get out of here. somebody just decided to write it down. yesterday he said there were 15 million muslim that s ovstay their visa. i m tlling you, the idea
