Why hasn’t Obama fired Director Sharon Helman head of the Phoenix VA and ordered AG Eric Holder to immediately investigate the Phoenix VA and other VA hospitals seeking criminal indictments? Helman should be indicted for fraud for fudging the waiting list numbers to get her bonus and possibly manslaughter for allowing veterans to die as a result of her fraud. While Shinseki resigning is appropriate it does nothing to change the systemic problems of the VA or more importantly punish those VA officials for their wrong doing.

They had to milk this for a few days to get the drama factor up. Now there will be a press conference announcing Shin’s successor, a new investigation, an investigation or the old investigation, and a report on the new investigation of the old investigation, plus, any notes from the old investigation, as amended, that may impact the new investigation. Then, a committee will be appointed to review the findings of the report and they, too, will issue a report on their findings at a press conference where they will give 0bama their findings in a folder which will be given to 0bama’s very own committee for assessing the results of the other committee he appointed. That committee will then deliberate, conduct their own investigation, and report to Mr. 0bama within 180 days. Within 540 days of that report, recommendations will be made and acted upon, or not, at the president’s discretion.

“Comrades!” cried an eager youthful voice.
“Attention, comrades! We have glorious news for you.
We have won the battle against corruption in the Veterans Administration!
All over Oceania [Amerikas-European Union, K2 Global Communications llc notation] this morning there were irrepressible spontaneous demonstrations when workers marched out of factories and offices and paraded through the streets with banners voicing their gratitude to Big Bro’ for the new, happy life which his wise leadership has bestowed upon us and joyfully giving him the credit he modestly will not give himself, but which he so richly deserves.”

The whole private meeting and presser messed up his golf schedule. Now, his T time has to be set back a couple of hours.

"Veterans Health Administration. Part of the VA system which includes the Veterans Benefits Administration and the Veterans Cemetery Syste.."

Thanks. I was wondering if this was another "corpseman" moment, thinking of the old VHA mortgages.

Stop picking targets, freezing, personalizing and polarizing them.

Fixing the VA includes firing Shinseki so the next guy knows he can’t commit the same wrongdoing.

It’s not a choice between either getting rid of Shinseki or fixing the VA. It’s all part of the same package.

Remember—one of the biggest problems of big government is lack of accountability.

Dude, they waited like two years ago! Let’s move on to income equality, the war on women, and sports concussions.

Waited to type something but Everyone on this thread has done excellent and am nearly without words to express my disgust for the zer0care administration and his media menions. Am saddened though, like all here, in that evil won another one against our Military Women and Men and so many died waiting.

Smidgeon of accountability, in the lap of one out of about 90,000 federal workers.

It's a start.

Accountability starts at the top.

So it’s not a smidgeon. It’s the first domino.

One of their chief strategies is to kill accountability. Postmodernism has advanced this quite a bit.

So, I read that additionally, they will “develop a process” for removing the top VA officials in Phoenix.

I have the answer, right here:

1. The President calls them.
2. He tells them, “Your ass is FIRED. And, don’t leave the country”.
3. Repeat steps one and two.

I’d like a cut of all the money that I’ve just saved the US. I will donate it to veterans.
