Nobody resigns for incompetence/malfeasance from this administration.

That would make Obama look bad.

Not going to happen.

Biden has always been an insurance policy against this step.

Shineski is the one in trouble. But with Democrats, there will be no shame, no apology and no full investigation, and they will cry out Racism for anyone questioning it. It’s a shame that our political system is so broken. There is almost no reason to vote anymore. It’s pointless

Put the politicians and all family members on their plans in the back of the longest VA line. The real line, not the fake one. Do this and see how fast this gets fixed.

Obama is a socialist coward

this cretin OBama should resign, man up and take responsibility .but it doesn't cause it's a coward and a socialist monster

Barack Obama is the executive branch

where are our protests to call for this tyrant Obama’s resignation, from we the people ,from our so called conservative leaders like Rush, Levin, Savage , coulter , Palin etc? no where after a million scandals, the IRS , benghazi , VA etc etc.

I call for barack Obama’s resignation . who will join me in calling for this communist to step down NOW?

which needlessly sentenced an unknown number of American veterans to death through their combination of managerial incompetence, medical malpractice, and monstrously cruel indifference to their clients.

It would be nice if someone in the press (and by that I include people like Sean Hannity) questioned whether actual incompetence was involved in this or if this is how gov't normally operates. Maybe that is too hard a fact to face, but it would be nice if some conservative commentators actually posed the question.

While I grieve for our dead veterans I am no longer surprised at anything this traitorous boob says or does.

I think Shinseki’s BOSS should resign.

Poor Obama may be forced to skip a round of golf to address this matter.

Of course he (Obama) should resign! Unfortunately, he has not the simple dignity to do so. Rather than fall on his sword, he's the kind of guy, like the officers on that Korean ferry, who pushed their way past their passengers, to whom they owed a duty to rescue, but chose instead to take the prime seats in the lifeboats.

What a sad excuse for a President! What a sad excuse for a leader! What a sad excuse for a man!



America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

General Shinseki has nothing in front of him but degradation...

No, no, no, no! He has important things to do, like; designing a spiffy new beret for all VA staff. It could even be made in Red China.

But something so trivial would never occupy the time of an important General. Especially when his VA medical system is being destroyed.

Would it?!

If no one resigns, there was no scandal.

Leftest are good at circular logic. One reinforces the other. No resignations, nothing to report.

for instance by finding the time to take the occasional meeting with General Shinseki, a task the president had not undertaken in more than two years. <<

Shinseki should have taken up golf....
