WaPo Gives Obama ‘Four Pinocchios’ for False VA Claim

Obama is not the only one accused of misleading the public about the number of people held accountable for manipulating patient wait-time data at the VA. Department Secretary Robert McDonald has twice received Four Pinocchio ratings for making similar claims.

The widow of Army veteran Barry Coates asked Obama at a CNN town hall two weeks ago when his administration would start holding VA employees and contracted doctors accountable.

“We heard a lot of promises about reform and accountability, but still nothing’s changed … When are we going to actually start holding these contracted doctors and the VA employees accountable?” the widow asked. more here
