WASHINGTON — President Obama said Friday that Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki will resign in the wake of systemic problems with the health care for veterans.Obama said he regretted accepting the resignation, but "the VA needs new leadership" and he agreed with Shinseki that he has become a distraction.
"We don't have time for distractions," Obama said. "We need to fix the problem."
I have a feeling this will be all the " accountability " the Obama administration will own up to.
Do you think this started with the Obama administration? I dont. I dont know when it started but I have a feeling it has been going on for a while now.
I thought socialists like big government bureaucracies...Read more @: [/FONT][/COLOR]

The only logical thing he could do. This massive bureaucratic **** up that happened under his watch, he deserves to get the boot, and possibly more.

oloserhuman campaigned on fixing the VA. If this was his fix HE FAILED miserably and "bush did it" is as lame as a dead soldier deserving our care today.
I retired from the US Navy in 1996. Went to the Memphis, Tn VA hospital twice a month for 4 months and never once did I see a real DR. I saw Nurses, PAs and even a pharmacist once.
I enrolled in Tri-Care and have never set foot in another VA Hospital.
There were problems at least that far back.
Right now the bi partisan investigations on this scandal are getting no where.
The VA refuses to turn over documents that would lead to real accountability.
Obstructionism is one thing the Obama administration is good at, whether its the Benghazi scandal, the IRS scandal or the Gun walking scandal.

Isn't this issue the falsification of documents and not the long wait times? When did that start?
Why is that left out of peoples comments on this matter?

I thought that was pretty much common knowledge. That is what all this has been about. However I think you'll find out that has been going on for a lot of administrations.
People have been fighting the VA since at least the 70s. All the VN veterans that couldn't get the care they needed.
As much as some people would like to blame the current administration for all these problems is just more of the same silly partisan BS.
Obama said after he fooled the people and was elected as POTUS back in 2008, "Judge me by who I surround myself with."
It was Army Chief of Staff Gen. Eric Shinseki who was behind that all soldiers would wear the beret without having to earn it.
That should have been a red flag you would think.
Yeah but he also called Rumsfeld on the number of troops needed in Iraq and was right.
You are saying the falsification of documents have been going on for many administrations?

Heya Gaius. :2wave: Yep.....he was always critical of the Bush Administration and did get into it with Rumsfeld.
