It didn’t take Liberals long to angrily protest our blog over Obama’s disdain of veterans.

Reader Bob H’s comments were particularly nasty, ending with the insight that Obama spent well over 30 minutes addressing the VA issue (not counting press Q-&-A).

(We ‘spammed’ Bob’s unnecessarily vicious comment, but can address its context.)

Well, no, Bob, he didn’t spend 30 minutes addressing it.

The word count on his prepared remarks go a little over 1350 words… but only 100 specifically (?) addressed anything about what is, hopefully, being done…and we are being generous: we even counted vague promises to fix “whatever is wrong”.

(“Whatever”? Really?)

The balance of his remarks were all spin and propaganda, in places contradictorily noting his “when I came to office” approach to ‘systemically’ fixing the problem…while in another area he indicates he’s only just recently become aware of its existence.

Uuhhh, Bob…he ‘came into office’ in Jan 2009. By our count, that’s over 5 years ago.

His paragraph on damage control (warning not to use this issue as a political football) actually word-counted at 102…compared to his 100 words on what’s being done to uncover and eliminate (criminally illegal) behavior by government workers at the VA.

He spent more time in this press conference trying to inoculate himself and election-vulnerable Democrats, than he did discussing how he’s stopping deadly misbehavior!

If that’s not disdain for veterans, we don’t know what is.

(But then, we suspect you already know that…)

If you don’t like those ‘word-count facts’, Bob…blame it on MS Word.
