Dems Begin to Call for Shinseki to Go: ‘We Don’t Have Time!’

Two Democratic congressmen became the first members of their party to call for Veterans Affairs secretary Eric Shinseki’s resignation shortly after President Obama’s meeting with the embattled department head. While speaking on the House floor about a bill he co-sponsored to make it easier to fire VA officials, Representative David Scott of Georgia offered a passionate plea to address the problem and called for Shinseki’s ouster.

Meanwhile, Scott’s fellow Georgian John Barrow also said Shinseki should no longer hold his position since he and the rest of the administration have “fallen short in providing the kind of care our veterans have earned.”

-— When will they realize that Obama is the real problem? Never, I’m afraid. -—

will the Republicans denounce the VA as typical of government-provided healthcare?

I’m not holding my breath.

I don’t expect that to happen either.

Ask any liberal voter and they’ll say “How do you know obama didn’t try to do something about it?”

Obama likes this scandal. It can't be intimately tied to malfeasance by Obama, and it gets Benghazi, the IRS, and all the other stuff off the front page.

As accusations across the country pour in, all evidence will become ever more obvious Shinseki/zippy not only allowed it, but ignored it also.
