A wednesday *sigh* and rant

*SIGH*

Taking in  and letting out one big deep breath here.

 Last night Senior and I took in the SOTU speech. I don't know if it is POTUS's voice, or his mannerism...but I really can't stand hearing or seeing the man. and OMG is he grey haired?
And such an arrogance and over inflated ego that makes me so angry  I  want to carve something with a spoon.  It was very apparent towards the end when he made the comment about his election, Jeers came from the republican side of the chamber, he followed that up with a real smart a--- remark.
So typical!

Did you hear the Veterans portion? here let me refresh it then:  " If you want it done right, and you want a hard worker, the hire a veteran"  OMG!!!! I firmly believe he made that comment because his numbers are so low with the military, that he had to do and say whatever he could to boost them.

 How can he tell companies to hire veterans, when everyone from the federal level of the VA all the way down to state and local VA offices don't. Since Senior has set out to get employed by the VA,  he has been rejected around 15 times. Senior retired in 2009, while going to school to earn his bachelors degree he  owned and operated his own commercial lawn company. 2 of those 15 rejections were for a position with grounds maintenance for either a national cemetery, or a state VA hospital.  You tell me that a man who owned his own lawn company does not have the necessary experience to mow grass for a VA facility?  Really?????

 Upon talking to other veterans we have heard some real heartbreaking stories, whether it is the substandard health care or employment practices we have heard and personally experienced the way an organization that is meant to help these men and women, isn't! .
Next comment was on veterans health care--  well Mr. President if this administration so loves its vets, then why are there organizations such as "Wounded Warrior" ??? How much of that 200 million you just gave to Pakistan could have bought those new tract like wheel chairs for our disabled vets?


 *SIGH* shaking my head....
