Obama 'madder than hell' over VA scandal

From Rick Moran at The American Thinker:
Yes - but what exactly is the president mad about? Is he mad that the VA deliberately falsified records showing that veterans were not being seen at VA hospitals in a timely manner?

Or is he mad that the press found out about it?

At any rate, I guess we're supposed to assume that Barack Obama is "not going to take it anymore," right?

In some ways, this scandal is more dangerous to the president than any other. There are documents, witnesses willing to tell their story, and both parties eager to get to the bottom of what happened. It's safe to assume that more revelations of wrongdoing will be forthcoming.

It probably won't lead to impeachment, but it will severely damage Obama's reputation. It plays into the narrative that Obama is incompetent and that people are suffering - and dying - because of it.
I think the on that more people would get upset about is the IRS targeting. But the IRS only went after conservative groups. In the case of the VA, they are conservative and liberal soldiers and families. This will cross all lines of division in the country.
