\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This CNN info guy is somewhat speechless. Think of this next sound bite as a sound bite of a Drive-By reporter learning in real time who Obama is. <\/p>\n

This is CNN\u2019s Newsroom this morning during what they called special coverage of Obama\u2019s remarks about the VA. This is after Obama spoke, after Obama told everybody how mad he was when he found out about this. Jake Tapper spoke with the correspondent, Drew Griffin, about Obama\u2019s remarks. Tapper said, “Drew Griffin, the reporter from CNN who began this whole story with his investigation into the Phoenix VA. Drew, the veterans that you speak with, what did they want to hear from President Obama today and did he deliver?”<\/p>\n

GRIFFIN: I was a little caught off guard by what apparently is a disconnect between what\u2019s happening out here in the country and what the president is talking about. I hate to be curt, but this problem is real; it exists; it really doesn\u2019t have to be studied. To say that you are gonna now wait for yet again more studies to come back and more fact-finding to come back? I would think that the vets I\u2019ve been talking to wanted much more direct action. I was a little confused by the president\u2019s remarks today. At the same time he was saying that he\u2019s known about this problem for years and years and years and it goes back decades, far past into other people\u2019s presidencies, and yet we\u2019re five years into his presidency and the problem seems to be certainly not better, and perhaps even worse.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, we don\u2019t know if this guy will have a job tomorrow, but nevertheless this is the eye-opening education of a Drive-By reporter. This is the guy who broke the scandal in Phoenix. This is the guy who found one of the original whistleblowers and he was stunned and here today. “What do you mean we\u2019re gonna investigate? We don\u2019t need to investigate. We know exactly what happened.” He could not believe what he was hearing. <\/p>\n

“I hate to be curt, but this problem is real; it exists; it really doesn\u2019t have to be studied. To say that you are gonna now wait for yet again more studies to come back? … [T]he vets I\u2019ve been talking to wanted much more direct action.” Exactly, but you see, the audience for this press conference was not the veterans. The audience for this press conference is not the media. The audience here is the low-information population. All they\u2019re supposed to see and all they are supposed to take away from this is that Obama cares and he\u2019s really mad and he\u2019s gonna get to the bottom of it like he\u2019s gotten to the bottom of everything else.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s gonna drop everything and get to the bottom of this and he\u2019s gonna fix it! But first he\u2019s gotta do the fair and equitable thing. He\u2019s got to investigate and find out if it\u2019s really true, and anybody should understand the equality and fairness of that. So he\u2019s gonna do that, then he\u2019s gonna fix it. That\u2019s the takeaway. This is not for you and me today. This is not for people that know what\u2019s going on. <\/p>\n

This is for people that don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on, who are watching perhaps for the first time because the president is talking about it for the first time. They say, “Oh, wow! This must be big.” So the low-information crowd tunes in and all they see is he\u2019s really mad about it. “Okay, good. Good! Somebody ought to be mad about this. Wow! Okay, he\u2019s gonna fix it just like he fixes everything else.” Even this CNN reporter says he\u2019s known about this problem for years and years, it goes back to prior presidencies, but the problem seems to even be worse during his presidency.<\/p>\n

This guy can\u2019t believe what he saw. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re five years in, almost six years in, and finally a Drive-By reporter gets it. It won\u2019t last long \u2019til they get his mind right but at least he got it, saw it, and reported on it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
