House Democrats break with Obama, call for Shinseki's sacking

Two House Democrats broke ranks with the White House on Wednesday and called for Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign.

Georgia’s John Barrow and David Scott are the first Democrats to call for Shinseki’s head, and their statements illustrated growing unease over the administration’s response to allegations that dozens of veterans have died because of secret waiting lists that delayed their treatment.

Barrow and Scott spoke up after President Obama defended Shinseki in his first public statement in weeks on the controversy.

Obama vowed to punish any misconduct related to the scandal.

1. all red state dems are getting screamers on the phones but because the democratic

party doesn't know what's going on on talk radio they think it's actual popular opinion instead of the usual effect of all the talk radio gods yelling for someone's head.

2. What a shitty fucking headline. It implies all House Dems are demanding he resign...

Is it really hard to put the first sentence into the headline?

Two House Democrats break with Obama, call for Shinseki's sacking

Fucking ridiculous.

(and I know you didn't write it, just pointing it out).

3. Two chickenshits.

Obama is right to stand by Shinseki.

4. Fire Shinseki?

I look at it like this.... If a manager of let's say Walmart, steals cash from the drawer, or if a orderly in a hospital steals drugs from the cabinet, does the CEO get fired? NO... so if a few bad seeds in the VA does stupid shit, should the Sec of VA be fired?....

5. John Barrow is a known DINO. Never heard of David Scott.

6. New title needed: "Two House Democrats .... "

More manufactured outrage.

7. "TWO" House Democrats = House Democrats? The way this article is written makes it

seems as though ALL House Dems want Shinseki fired.

I hate the fucking media.

Why didn't the article just say "some" Democrats or "two" Democrats??!?!?!?!?
