I agree with the Senator. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs is supposed to represent and look out for veterans. His remarks are beyond insensitive. He should indeed resign.

Actually they should just fire him. Let Obama & company explain why they can’t.

“Dismissing wait times when veterans can often wait months for an appointment is negligent and a clear sign that new leadership is needed at the VA.”

But didn’t this guy just take over from Eric $hitsticki? At the VA, just how many morons do they have to install as administrator to get someone with half a brain?

I understood the gist of the Secretary’s comments. But they were horribly naive.

Wait time IS part of the experience. And all that I’ve read about Disney Parks is that EVERY thing is managed, including wait times, so that guests have a good experience.

I’d sh!t can the guy just because he’s so damn dumb and not qualified to even be a jr. senator from Illinois.

I STRONGLY DISAGREE, leave the poor SOB in charge, instead introduce Legislation making the VA the SOLE Health Care Provider for ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES.

It's a world of laughter,
a world of tears
It's a world of hopes,
a world of fear
There's so much that we share
And it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

People waiting in Disney lines are there voluntarily and waiting a maximum of hours for an entertainment experience. Nobody in a Disney line is waiting months for a colonoscopy to determine whether or not they have colon cancer.

Let’s keep in mind that Secretary McDonald is part of the Obama Regime, and the Regime considers veterans to be the enemy and a threat to be eliminated.

I really don’t think the argument that the quality of the experience is more important than its promptitude is going to fly when the penalty of waiting is death and physical suffering. It was a stupid rationalization. Try it with an abscessed tooth sometime - “yeah, we’ll give you a perfect root canal but you have to wait a week and no, we don’t have time to see you to prescribe any pain killers.” See what happens.

This tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about the IMBECILES appointed by Obama.

It is DEFINITELY time for Trump to BLOW these dickweeds right out of the tub and begin anew.

Yeah. People don’t usually die waiting to get on Space Mountain.

The fact that he didn’t immediately apologize for his remarks proves that he shouldn’t be in this job.

I was sitting in an exam room and a Doctor was examining a Veteran in the next room. The Doctor asked the Veteran if he had any pain in his stomach.

The Veteran replied, “I don’t have a stomach.”

“Everybody has a stomach,” the Doctor said.

“I took three bullets in the stomach,” said the Veteran. “I don’t have a stomach left.”

Got pretty quiet in that exam room.
