Retiring Robert Petzel resigns as VA undersecretary

Robert Petzel has resigned as VA undersecretary. How stupid does the Obama regime think people are? Petzel was going to retire later this year anyway. Is this how Obama is holding people ‘responsible’ for his latest scandal? Eric Shinseki must resign now!

Director of the VA health care system in Arizona that allegedly used appointment bookkeeping tricks to meet performance benchmarks left a trail of ill will along her career path, with staff at previous facilities she managed saying they experienced a culture of deceit and intimidation that closely matches accounts emerging from whistleblowers in Phoenix.

Sharon Helman, 43, has been placed on administrative leave from her post as director of the Phoenix VA Health Care System amid allegations that administrators there kept a “secret list” of appointment requests in order to disguise long wait times for medical appointments.

Whistleblowers there say her management style was a major factor in creating an environment that encouraged VA staff to manipulate the waiting lists to make them look acceptable to VA officials in Washington.
