I would have preferred to have given Shinseki a lifetime appointment in exchange for it being 0’s resignation. Could be an actual solution to the VA problem, and a host of others as well.

One question I have. Where or what level does the pressure come from for the people to feel they have to “game” the system?

Hagel, Kerry, Holder, and the rest are as incompetent as Shinseki. But the most incompetent is their boss.

Remember, any organization, company, institution is only as good as its leadership is good. And, the people in it are only as good as the leadership allows them to be, good.

So, if the leadership is poor and as arrogant as this twit, then those under him cannot be better because that would make him look bad and dull.

His problem is that he should have left before all this hit the fan.

Veterans Budget Gets $63 Billion Boost From Obama White House

04/05/2013 4:43 pm EDT

The money is targeted at eliminating the backlog of veterans claims for benefits and increasing mental health services, including treatment for military sexual trauma.

Shinseki turned aside a question about what the White House Office of Management and Budget, which has approval authority over agency budget requests, had rejected out of his budget proposals. “You could always use more money,” he said. But he added that President Obama has been a strong advocate for veterans, and his budget requests have increased every year.

He said of Obama, “There is nobody more impatient than the guy we’re reporting to.”

The FRIDAY WASHINGTON DUMP !


A CRIMINAL investigation is necessary , and not by self-serving, in-house folks
AN INDEPENDANT INVESTIGATOR ONLY !
The Veterans Administration were advised of problems back in 2008, and know by President Obama, and no action was taken .
The Government's response is to spend more money at the problem. Since 2005 , the Veterans Administration budget has TRIPLED, already.
Money is not the problem . CRIMINAL LIABILITY and bonuses paid is the issue !!
The Veterans Administration is "SINGLE-PAYER" healthcare run by Government.
The Obamacare program is "SINGLE-PAYER" healthcare that is run by Government.
Any questions about what you and I can expect of healthcare that is run by Government ?

Do my ears betray me or is Obama repeatedly referring to the VA as the VHA?

He kept using both. I wondered what VHA is. Maybe a sub-department of the VA?

I thought Obama was going to work “every hour of every day” to protect our veterans. That’s what he promised way back in 2007 on the campaign trail.

I guess after Obama and Hillary coordinated theirs lies about Benghazi during their lunch yesterday, Hillary told Obama to get rid of Eric.

Good point...
Now they can stand at a podium, pounding their fists and say, “Seeee! I stood up to Obozo when I needed to and am not an Obambot!”...
“...Except when I voted in lock step for Obozocare....”

Nobody “runs” a Federal bureaucracy. Bureaucracies run themselves for the benefit of themselves.

Fire the entire VA hospital system.

Obama will put another sycophant in charge who will make a lot of lofty promises and after a flurry of busy work activity, the VA will resume normal operation.

Obama is hitting his stride,, he’s lying like a brook babbles with runoff

You are 100% correct!

I only caught the latter part, (Thank You, Lord,) but he was pathetic.

He was not comfortable, (never is when he talks about our veterans or our military).

I despise the Marxist liar.

God bless and keep our veterans and our military.

"public criticism of Bush and Iraq strategy.

You forgot to mention that events proved him correct in his criticism. Not enough troops were deployed to secure Iraq.
