    Obama recommended promotion to Flag Officer and further promotions ahead of his peers. You don't get a higher recommendation than that. The along with the spotless FBI report.

    This was all politics and obstructionism by the Democrats.

    Yet you go with the unproven allegations.

    Like I said, do a better job vetting your candidates. Or become a leader that actually attracts qualified candidates.

    The difference is that Obama had a 17% turnover in staff in the first 16 months in office - Trump is at a record breaking 50% of his staff. You guys hated Obama for his ineptitude with staff - yet give Trump a complete pass despite his total incompetence at it.
    That's not opinion - it's just a simple look at the numbers.

    You don't get a higher recommendation than a promotion one step up on the naval officer rankings?

    No one who is not already a Trumpette is going to believe that Jackson was sidelined solely because of Democrats when Democrats do not control the House, the Senate, or the White House.

    I guess that would depend on when the alleged instances happened. Before or after his vetting.

    Ronny was Obama's personal WH physician from 2013 to January 20, 2017.

    Or if they are even true. Guilty until proven innocent.

    I never said one word about Ovomit's staff. What I said is you guys complain about every little thing Trump does or what Bush did. Nitpicking every move. It's pure hatred.

    If he could have stood up under questioning by the Congressman, then he would still be the nominee. His lack of administrative experience was just too high of a hurdle and the White House realized that once it went beyond Trump's impulsive nature.

    Another problem was that the Admiral was going to be under oath, and the White House realized that he could be asked about the truthfulness of Trump's medical exams.

    And today you learned that being a doctor and being the head of the VA are two different jobs. Nice!

    The man withdrew before the allegations were investigated further.

    No, it's calling the kettle black. Obamacare=awful=didn't get repealed. TPP=bad deal=can we get back in. Iran deal=worst deal ever=think we'll keep it.....and the beat goes on.

    Karma.

    Think Beer Summit. Lapel pin. Birthers. Terrorist Fist bump. And on and on ...
    Second guessing the President has been an American past-time for decades. Get used to it.

    And the qualification for running the VA is a security clearance?

    Frankly, it doesn’t seem that being “qualified” has done anything but run the VA into the ground. Whether or not this guy would have done a good job will now never be known.

    Yeah, but with this guy's finger on the button, forever doesn't seem as long as it used to.

    That's NOT what the hit job smear was about. The Democrats could have had that discussion but apparently they were too scared of it. And his knowing that be could lose his medical license and be courtsmartialed for lying in his official capacity your further attempts to fallaciously smear him with you total baseless claim is reprehenisble but I am not surprised.

    So why did Obama have a "drug dealing alcoholic" as his personal physician and why did him promote him to a flag rank and reccommend he be fasttracked to his second star ahead of his peers?
