President Obama spoke today to the Disabled American Veterans convention in Atlanta:
"What an honor to be with you today," @POTUS tells @DAVHQ Convention. pic.twitter.com/Gi0GN9ufLE

Obama started off by thanking the head of the VA:
"Thank you, Bob, for the great work you're doing," says Pres Obama of V.A. Secretary Bob McDonald.

Considering the horror stories that have emerged in the past months and years, many took it as this president’s “heckuva job” moment:

I'd hate to see what he would consider "bad work".

Obama also took some not-so-subtle jabs at Donald Trump, and included this:
Obama: "As commander-in-chief, I'm pretty tired of some folks trash-talking America's military and troops."
