BREAKING: The VAs Eric K. Shinseki resigns... or, to put it another way: Another One Under The Bus. President Obama said Friday he accepted the resignation of embattled Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki. He made the announcement shortly after Shinseki apologized publicly Friday for what he called an “indefensible” lack of integrity among some senior leaders of the VA health-care system and announced several remedial steps, including a process to remove top officials at the troubled VA medical center in Phoenix. Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki spoke Friday morning to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans about what the VA is doing to prevent and treat homelessness in veterans, saying now is not the time to let up or get complacent. Speaking after a meeting with Shinseki at the White House, Obama said Shinseki had offered him his resignation. “With considerable regret, I accepted,” Obama said. “We don’t have time for distractions,” he added. “We need to fix the problem.” So, now hell appoint a new guy, and ask for the countrys patience as this one comes up to speed... nothing will be done, and our veterans will still have to wait for treatment. As the Talking Heads song goes, Same as it ever was... same as it ever was.
