Friday was a banner day for rodents leaping from Obama’s sinking ship of state.

The USS Obama, a dingy carrying an ass, is now swirling a little higher in the toilet bowl as first, Eric Shinseki, the head turd in the VA punchbowl resigned, only to be immediately replaced by his deputy and Assistant Director of deadly misdeeds, Sloan Gibson.

Let me tell you something…as the fraudulent and fatal scandal at the VA is systemic, and as Sloan Gibson has been Shinseki’s right hand for all of three months. That is the depth of his experience…3 months but IN those three months…did Gibson ever blow the whistle?

Our veterans are just as screwed now as they were on Thursday. Nothing has changed.

Then there was the bald-faced liar, Obama’s version of Baghdad Bob…Jay Carney who decided to “step down” and get off the Tidy Bowl Man’s yacht before it disappears altogether.

Carney, who has become the laughingstock of the press corps over the past 5 plus years. Carney who has hemmed and hawed, stuttered and stammered his way through daily press briefings, trying to tap dance his way around the truth with all the agility of a one legged, spasmatic weasel… to the point where even Pinocchio doesn’t take him seriously anymore…has called it quits.

Carney’s future memoirs are no doubt, destined for the bargain bin in the fiction section on Amazon.

By the way, Jay carney’s family was recently featured in a Washingtonian magazine spread complete with a photo from their own family kitchen in which can be seen two wonderful examples of communist propaganda art lurking on the back wall.

Perhaps Vladimir Putin is hiring?

Let’s take a closer look at the “don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya” exits to see what REALLY led to the departures.

Operation Resignation Desperation

First…the rat. Shinseki…while liberals will try and paint his swan dive from the sinking stinker as somehow doing what’s right for our veterans, I suggest a deeper motive was behind it and to expose it, we need look back no further than last fall’s giant 17% government shutdown.

That’s when liberals, led by that rodent Harry Reid, closed and barricaded the WWII Memorial in an attempt to block the Greatest Generation in THE most visible way possible and then tried to blame it all on Conservatives. Too bad it didn’t work. What the nation got to see was 90 something year old veterans accompanied by younger vets and CONSERVATIVE LAWMAKERS tearing DOWN the liberal’s barricades DAILY during the “shutdown” without a single democrat in sight.

Historically, liberals pay LIP service to veterans and our active military but simply don’t back up their rhetoric with actions and now, as this VA scandal and its deadly consequences has been exposed…NOW liberals have started calling for heads to roll. Why NOW and not eight months ago?

Simple…Eight months ago we were 13 months away from a midterm election. NOW, we’re just 5 months away and it looks like the second coat of 2010’s shellac is about to be applied to the Dictator’s party platform.

The pressure put on the regime to do SOMETHING…anything…to counter this beneath contempt VA scandal, or heaped upon Shinseki himself to quit has been solely because the pressure is on liberals leading up to November. Liberals are desperate to salvage SOMETHING…anything…they can as they face the ever growing prospect of going down in a blue swirl (ala Tidy Bowl) in the midterms.

That’s what it takes to get the collective to stand with our veterans…political desperation.

Now, don’t try and tell ME that CONSERVATIVES cut the VA budget and we hate the veterans more because, well…that’s just a Carneyesque lie.

I challenge liberals to explain, coherently, why if, as they claim, Conservatives made it financially impossible for the VA to see patients in a timely manner and provide them with needed treatment, how could Newsmax could have scratched the surface with the following examples:

• Employees at Fayetteville, North Carolina’s VA hospital failed to conduct follow-up suicide-prevention therapy for high-risk patients 90 percent of the time. A December 2012 audit found the facility “non-compliant” as regards dental-clinic safety and the cleanliness of patient-care spaces.

Also, 56 percent of the time, doctors failed to review patient-medication information, contributing to misdiagnosis complaints. Regardless of this record, hospital director Elizabeth Goolsby scored a 2012 performance bonus of $7,604.

• The Dayton, Ohio, VA hospital’s dental clinic maintained unsanitary conditions for 18 years. Nine of its patients consequently contracted Hepatitis B and C. Nonetheless, medical center director Guy Richardson won a promotion and an $11,874 bonus.

• In spite of specific complaints by the American Legion, ongoing management lapses, and a 2011 Legionnaire’s disease outbreak that sickened 20 veterans and killed six others, Pittsburgh VA hospital chief Terry Gerigk Wolf earned her $179,700 base salary, a perfect performance review, and a bonus that year of $12,924. As the August 23, 2013, Washington Examiner further detailed, Wolf’s boss, regional director Michael Moreland, deposited a 2011 bonus of $15,619.

• The disability-claims backlog doubled between 2010 and 2011 in Philadelphia’s regional VA office. Still, its director, Thomas Lastowka, secured a 2011 bonus of $23,000.

• St. Louis’ VA facility has featured some 1,800 veterans exposed to HIV and hepatitis, thanks to dirty dental equipment. Patient-safety problems, including wrongful deaths, have plagued this site. So what? Between 2009 and 2013, hospital director RimaAnn Nelson took home bonuses of almost $25,000.

• In Waco, Texas, vets endure America’s longest wait times, as the processing of disability claims slowed to historic levels. However, this did not cost former regional-office director Carl Lowe his bonuses exceeding $53,000.

• VA construction chief Glenn Haggstrom managed multiple projects in Denver, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Orlando. They suffered multi-year delays and aggregate cost overruns of $1.5 billion. Whatever. Haggstrom was handed performance bonuses between 2009 and 2011 of $54,792.

• Despite warnings by the American Legion, protests by local veterans, and three preventable patient deaths that the VA’s inspector general tied to extensive mismanagement, Atlanta VA hospital boss James Clark saw bonuses over four years totaling $65,000.

• Columbia, South Carolina VA regional director Carl Hawkins was in charge as his office doubled its backlog of disability claims and at least 95 such documents improperly were shredded. Never mind! Atop his $165,300 salary, Hawkins’ 2007 through 2011 bonuses equaled $79,275.

• Diana Rubens supervises 60 VA offices that handle disability-benefit claims. On her watch, that backlog nearly septupled. Big deal. From 2007 to 2011, she pocketed bonuses of $96,896.

Obviously, the VA under this administration has more money than they know with what to do aside from lining their own pockets rather than treating our veterans with it and while the backlogs started in 2008…reports are proving that the book cooking and fraudulent record keeping didn’t start until the current regime took hold. In fact, the very system that led to systemic abuse, bonuses for lower numbers on cooked book waiting lists at the VA was the brainchild OF the Obama regime and instituted in 2010.

I’m not saying the VA was all peaches and cream before…I’m saying it started stinking out loud when Obama spread out his prayer rug in the oval because he was fully aware of the backlog issue BEFORE he took over and VOWED to “FIX” it.

So far, he’s fixed more than 100 of our veterans to death.

The proof that the fix is IN rather than being MADE is in the nomination of Shinseki’s second in command to take over the VA which is nothing more than replacing one turd with another in the Kool Aid pitcher.

If liberals REALLY wanted to FIX this…they would, as Conservatives ARE…DEMAND the VA be DISMANTLED and replaced with individual vouchers so veterans could go to private doctors and hospitals where they would be SEEN and TREATED in a timely manner without the government, regardless of WHO is in charge having the opportunity to rub salt in old wounds for the employees own advantage but THAT would fly in the face of Obamacare…wouldn’t it?

Leading up to the 2014 midterms and the 2016 general…liberals are doing nothing more than hanging new curtains on an rotting building to say, “LOOK…WE’RE STANDING FOR OUR VETS…VOTE FOR US…VOTE FOR US!!!”

And then, there’s the weasel…Jay Carney…the white house press Secretary’s position has always been something of a revolving door on a circus tent regardless  the side of the aisle of any administration but this is just a little different.

Over the last few months, even Obama’s media lapdogs have started biting the hand that feeds them…perhaps realizing that the propaganda manure spreader, turned up to full blow, was too much even for THEM.

Members of the MSM have, I believe. started to realize the party of their 2012 content is about to succumb to the fall of 2014…dissolving into the winter of their discontent and they are scrambling to retain any last bits of their long ago lost integrity so as to be thrown a crumb or two in the waning years of the regime…as though badgering Carney until he folds like a cheap lawn chair is somehow the same as  applying investigative pressure his puppet master.

According to the Dictator, Carney wants to spend more time with his family…presumably in their commie kitchen but there can be little, if any doubt that Obama just wanted a fresher bald-faced liar to pep up and prop up his propaganda.

As the 2014 November midterms approach and the campaigns heat up…the regime is growing obviously desperate to unload baggage and the next to go, I believe will be Eric Holder but that will wait until the Benghazi Select Committee heats up to provide an element of distraction and the Dictator will again, “reluctantly” accept his resignation as he cloaks his Attorney Degenerate with Executive privilege and one by one, where the scandals are investigated, they will all plead the 5^th.

Most transparent administration in history my ass.
