Las Vegas, NV – Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement today after President Obama announced the resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki:
“Eric Shinseki has served our country for decades, on the battlefield, as Chief of Staff for the United States Army and as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. He is a good man and should be commended for his admirable service. The VA has fired senior officials at the Phoenix facility and has pledged to personally contact every veteran in Phoenix waiting for appointments. This is a good first step. It is now time to restore veterans’ trust in the reliability of the care they are receiving from the VA. I will do everything I can to ensure that Congress works to address the root causes of these systemic problems so that the men and women returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan, and those veterans already in the VA system, receive the care they deserve.”
Disney World isn’t “The Happiest Place On Earth!” when Harry Reid’s there.
Harry, left unchecked I’ll bet Shinseki was going to kill more veterans than the Taliban.
whoa, Granny was a God fearing, America loving, Conservative... not some RAT POS like dingy is
Suprised he didn’t blame the Koch brothers.
Too bad he won’t do something about the real root cause of the VA problems - the Federal government.
Oh, OK, Harry. I will take you at your word. You can start
by helping my 89 year old dad. Pop is a WWII combat wounded
paratrooper. He has a titanium plate in the top of his
skull compliments of a soldier of Japan. He resides on the
west side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains but must be driven
over Donner Summit to the Vets hospital in Reno for any
Tx he might need even though there is another Vet hospital
in the Sacramento area which is much closer.
As a Vet who is designated totally disabled there is not
a single benefit Dad is not entitled to utilize including
dental work. Several weeks ago my sister scheduled an
appointment in Reno to address his dental implants
which are falling out. The soonest they can see him is
in late June. By the day of the appointment two months
will have passed since the appointment was scheduled.
What you can do is to expedite his appointment and help
us to move it to Sacramento. The old guy doesn’t travel
as well as he once did. Get busy, Harry.
Quote from Senator Dingy Harry SATIRE ALERT “General Secretary Shinseki did a great job and should not have resigned, this witchhunt trumped up the Koch Brothers and Republicans that wouldn’t quadruple the VA budget over the past 12 years, it only went from $45 Billion to $154 Billion. We know if the budget had been $200 Billion for FY14 that would have solved all the problems.
Yes, a few hundred nearly dead veterans died, but many deserving Union Employees that donate to my campaign got bonuses to help the economy and their families” As far as blocking the House VA Reform Bill, I make no apologies in not allowing a vote on a bill that passed 390-33 and was 2 1/2 pages long, but we just didn’t have time to read the bill!!
Get rid of the public service unions at the VA and even someone half as capable as Shinseki can fix it. Harry Reid perhaps.
Bet the dog ate his homework a lot too.””””
What homework?
He was a Foreign Aid student—at a drastically reduced tuition & spent his college days smoking dope...by his own admission. He made sure his college grades were locked up, along with his birth certificate.
