Sarah Palin: Veterans died waiting for VA care because ‘Barack Obama is lazy’

Fox News contributor and half-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) said this week that veterans had died waiting for health care from Veterans Affairs facilities because President Barack Obama was “lazy” due to his upbringing.

“The problem starts at the top, and when you have a commander-in-chief who has not been engaged, and was told six years ago about the problems at the VA, and has just pooh-poohed the problems,” Palin told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday. “Nothing is going to happen while Obama is in charge of our military, and the VA, and our federal government in general.”

Hannity wondered if Palin had any insight into why the president would refuse to hold people accountable for problems at the VA or problems or the Healthcare.gov website, even though the government spent more money “than in history of mankind” to fix the website.


“When you hold someone accountable, it takes some energy and some resource, and Barack Obama is lazy,” Palin opined. “In fact, he warned us that he was lazy. And he attributed that to having brought up in Hawaii. It’s his words, not mine.”

1. Stupid is a disease.This is not Obamas fault idiot Palin.

So um, troops died going to Iraq based on a big deliberate lie.But that's not important hu?.May my cousin R.I.P. who was killed in Iraq.

[MohRokTah]

4. And it is terminal, unlike it's cousin, ignorance.

Ignorance can be cured.

Stupidity is terminal.

[MohRokTah]

2. And the racial stereotypes just keep flowing from the mouth of Caribou Barbie. eom

[muntrv]

5. Lazy? Like when you quit your governor job midway through your first term?

[SummerSnow]

6. Exactly..and lazy cause she won't get a real job.

[jmowreader]

11. Are you sure she quit voluntarily?

Or did she do a Nixon - resign instead of being impeached?

[KittyWampus]

22. Okay. She's not lazy for quitting. She's a criminal and a coward!

Either way, she should stfu.

[Blue Owl]

7. How's the plane hunting going Caribou Barbie?

8. Oh the irony, it's painful...

[abbeyco]

9. Wait - 6 years ago?

Was she referring to the faux news 'headline' that indicated that the President knew all about this before he was sworn in as President in 2009? If the quitta is referring to that homegrown meme then she's simply as stupid as we've known all along. It's quite hilarious that newsmax is touting that same piece of crap - and no one in the wingnut faction is smart enough to realize that our current President took the reigns in 2009.

Checkmate assholes, it was your wunderkid in short pants who played Boss Hogg in 2008 and was at the helm 6 years ago.

Shut up and go home, losers!

10. Palin is just jealous

that she wasn't brought up in Hawaii - shit, I wish I was.

[jmowreader]

12. The first two colleges Palin attended were in Hawaii

She withdrew because she disagreed with the morality displayed on campus. Read into that what you will, but if Palin was raised in Hawaii she would have been a completely different person.

[packman]

16. Palin went to college?

In Hawaii? Two of them? I am stunned and surprised. Could you imagine going to Hawaii and being so uptight that you couldn't accept the sun,surf, and good people there? So she retreats to the Alaskan tundra where she made a name for herself.

Never will forgive McCain for bring her out of the obscurity she deserved.

[QED]

23. "Palin's Father: She Left Hawaii Because Asians Made Her Uncomfortable"

"Palin, though notoriously ill-traveled outside the United States, did journey far to the first of the four colleges she attended, in Hawaii. She and a friend who went with her lasted only one semester. "Hawaii was a little too perfect," Palin writes. "Perpetual sunshine isn't necessarily conducive to serious academics for eighteen-year-old Alaska girls." Perhaps not. But Palin's father, Chuck Heath, gave a different account to Conroy and Walshe. According to him, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: "They were a minority type thing and it wasn't glamorous, so she came home." In any case, Palin reports that she much preferred her last stop, the University of Idaho, "because it was much like Alaska yet still 'Outside.' "

15. fault goes way back

Hi,

who know where the fault lies for the VA crisis. I had friends come back from Vietnam & after a couple of visits to a VA hospital, vowed to never go back to one. The stories they told were spine chilling, Both got jobs & insurance through work, so they never returned to a VA facility.

I also knew a WWII vet that needed heart surgery & had little insurance. He & his family got a loan & refinanced a house & other things to get money, but he told me after the surgery, that he had no faith in the VA & thought he would have died if he had to get surgery in the VA hospital.

Maybe the current problem has been around for a long time.
