Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) today addressed recent revelations that the care of veterans returning from Iraq has been severely mismanaged and neglected.

"This administration, I think, has consistently underestimated the resources that are needed to support our veterans," said Obama. "You know, I think, the entire failure -- not just restricted to Walter Reed, but overall -- is scandalous."

Obama's comments come on the heels of an earlier report that highlighted the conditions suffered by Iraq War veterans.
