Fix is a pretty vague term, even with the AZ issues -- which are pretty disturbing mind you -- a lot of the VA system does appear to work well and some things like funding and wait times Obama appears to have helped improve. Have Republicans helped or hurt the process?
I'm not sure why you think it's "assumed" that he knew of wrongdoing as far back as 2008. I've never heard any such accusation let alone evidence that would make it assumed. The only evidence available indicates Obama learned about it in September when CNN broke the story.
