[Wash Times] The top Republican of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee said Tuesday that the Obama administration's Department of Veterans Affairs is so dysfunctional that it's time to fire Secretary Eric K. Shinseki.
"How many things can go wrong before you have to look at leadership?" Sen. Richard Burr, North Carolina Republican, told The Washington Times. "I think Secretary Shinseki has been given a tremendous amount of latitude, not because of his performance at the VA, but because of his military record, and nobody disputes that. But at some point, you have to ask, 'Shouldn't somebody be fired?'"
The "latitude" comes from him being a regime loyalist. Nothing more. |
