Obama vows to tackle VA problems, stops short of ousting secretary
President Obama, breaking his silence on the Veterans Affairs scandal, outlined steps Wednesday to “fix whatever is wrong” at the agency — while stopping short of heeding calls to sack VA Secretary Eric Shinseki.
Rather, the president said he would wait for the conclusion of internal probes.
“When I hear allegations of misconduct ... I will not stand for it,” Obama said. “None of us should.”
He added: “If these allegations prove to be true, it is dishonorable, it is disgraceful and I will not tolerate it — period.”
Obama then followed up with a list of what he claimed are his administration’s accomplishments in taking care of vets and their families.
