Obama Accepts U.S. Veterans Affairs Chief Resignation with 'Regret'

(Reuters) - Embattled Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned on
Friday following a meeting with President Barack Obama that came amid a
firestorm of outrage over delays in medical care for U.S. veterans.
.
Shortly after the private White House session, Obama announced to
reporters that "with considerable regret, I accepted" Shinseki's
resignation. The move came after a growing number of Democrats and
Republicans in Congress, as well as some veterans' groups, had called for
his removal.
.
Obama said he accepted the resignation of the soft-spoken, 71-year-old
retired Army general after being briefed on the initial findings of the
investigation into abuses that were initially found in Phoenix but later
identified at other facilities across the country.
.
Obama praised Shinseki's military career and accomplishments at the VA,
including tackling issues like post-traumatic stress syndrome and
homelessness among veterans.
.
"Rics commitment to our veterans is unquestioned. His service to our
country is exemplary," Obama said. "He has worked hard to investigate and
identify the problems with access to care. But, as he told me this
morning, the VA needs new leadership to address them."
.
The rising number of veterans with combat-related injuries from the Iraq
and Afghanistan wars has placed greater demands on the VA.
.
Members of Congress immediately applauded the move as a step toward
restoring confidence in the embattled agency that provides healthcare and
other benefits to veterans.
