Obama is an incompetent leader

How many cover ups, scandals and lies are the American people going to accept before the conclusion is made that we have an incompetent leader in President Obama?
The latest scandal is the VA hospital abuse of veterans where Obama promised in 2008-09 that delays, confusion and poor administration of our VA hospital system will be corrected.
We go from one messed up government system to another and Obama never knows or has any knowledge of any problems. It's always the director or head of that department's fault. Once investigations occur, some taking two years (Benghazi), the conclusions are they do go back to the White House and the Obama administration.
Main street media won't cover or research the issues because of their love fest with Obama. This is spilling over to the Democrats who are coming to the same conclusions - we have a clear lack of direction and leadership in the White House.
We have a president that can instantly respond to Nigerian issues where 300 girls were kidnapped, but disappears on four Americans who were killed in Benghazi and 40 veterans that have died from incompetence in our VA system.
We have cover ups in NSA and the IRS and are joked about around the world with our foreign policy collapse. Do you think Israel thinks we are reliable? We have 150,000 people massacred in Syria, 8,000 being children and where is our president on that?
Whether you are a Democrat, Republican or Independent, we deserve better than this.
