I hope this Shulkin obamabot gets the boot. I always view Rats as acting in bad faith, no matter what the issue.
Well, at least no one could ever doubt that Hegseth is committed to serving veterans.
Awesome choice!!
It has been over a year now. There’s no excuse that a whole lot hasn’t happened to make the VA better.
Whoa. Pete’s a good guy with dedication to the vets but does he have management skills for this?
I am betting Trump knows that the end of Mueller is nigh and he’s gearing up to start the real housecleaning. It is just a damned shame what Sessions, by his “recusal out of the box” has done to more than a year of Trump’s first four. For that reason alone, I’d be getting on with $hit canning him too, the worthless little Southern-fried pr!ck! I can’t believe those here who characterize him as some “darth vader” legal wizard. He’s just an old man given a job that’s way, way too big for him, or he’s simply a GOPE plant sent in to eff things up.
VA reform has been on ongoing battle since I can remember. My late father retired from the Army in 1963 and fought them everyday of his life until he died in 1990. He even testified at 2 congressional hearings in the mid 70’s. If he was still alive he would be fighting them. He was a war fighter and he would never give up, but this was a war he couldn’t win.
Hegseth has my vote.
Wow! Hegseth would be marvelous!
I’m still waiting for high blood pressure to be listed as a Vietnam/Agent Orange illness. They were supposed to decide last November but then they just stalled on the decision. I have been treated (at the VA)for high blood pressure since I returned from Vietnam in 1968.
Yes! We want Pete.
I thought Hegseth would be appointed at the beginning. Too bad he went with Obama guy Shulkin.
Pete has my vote!
A great patriot!
I don’t recognize either guy’s name, but I know that guy in the photo. They must have put up the wrong photo. I KNOW that guy from somewhere....
“... He is currently the weekend host for Fox and Friends and a senior analyst for Fox News.”
Oh, THAT guy! I love that guy! What a great pick!
“Trump campaigned on VA reform and sources say Shulkin is a creature of government averse to accountability or private care options.
Shulkin is the only Trump Cabinet member who remains after being held over from the Obama administration.”
Forgive me for being a bit snarky - but considering the Trump Administration made cleaning up the VA a top priority, then why the F would you keep a guy in office whose past performance showed reform was not a priority?
As a disabled vet, I approve!
We need one of our own in there.
I get VA news email updates daily, and there is a campaign currently going on to show just how good the VA is, all the improvements, etc. IMO, it’s propaganda.
Great pick!
Running a "huge corporation" such as the VA requires years of upper level management experience. I'd like to see Rex Tillerson considered for the job......He certainly has the experience
