That made him a hero to Obama and the left. It didn't matter that he lacked the competence to handle a task like the VA.

But that is logic. When has this administration done anything logical. Look at the head of any department in Washington. It is who you know, your politics, etc., not your training and experience.<br /><br />My hubby was a doctor in they Navy years ago and he can tell you horror stories. The way clinics were set up, etc. There were arbitrary rules that didn't make any sense. He tried to make suggestions to move patients along, to SEE MORE PATIENTS, but he was basically told to shut up. You can't buck the system in the military. They would book the patients and the doctors would sit around playing cards, talking, whatever in between. They could have booked 4 times as many appointments and seen many more sick people in a day, but nope, that would never do, because the system said you see only X number in a day...<br /><br />DebbieDebbiehttp://www.righttruth.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-44352233807366475542014-06-02T08:49:06.621-05:002014-06-02T08:49:06.621-05:00A friend of mine recently received a communication...A friend of mine recently received a communication from the head of a West Coast Japanese-American civic group urging everyone to gather around Eric Shinseki in the face of his troubles. Not because Shinseki is unfairly maligned ... but because he is Japanese-American. I wonder why these “Americans” were not upset because of the effects of Shinseki’s incompetence on veterans of Japanese descent. I wonder why they scrambled to make this a racial or ethnic issue. Maybe this is what card-carrying communists do, or self-centered assholes who think that their particular niche in society is more important anyone else’s ... or maybe they’ve learned important lessons about how to hold America hostage for their own selfish purposes. Shinseki shouldn’t just be fired; he should be charged with criminal malfeasance.Mustanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388694472897425202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-41408341287379780482014-06-02T08:42:44.737-05:002014-06-02T08:42:44.737-05:00"It would seem to me that a person with some ..."It would seem to me that a person with some kind of medical background would be best suited to run the VA."<br /><br />Yes, and serving under the auspices of a board consisting of representatives of advocate groups such as the American Legion and the VFW; open to consideration of assertions by 'whistle blowers'.JonBerghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01718776762194333398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-2076587512140308852014-06-02T07:59:32.066-05:002014-06-02T07:59:32.066-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-58063024874579777002014-06-02T07:58:40.983-05:002014-06-02T07:58:40.983-05:00Simple.
