If his leadership at DVA has been this poor, it's reasonable to wonder if there was more to the story of no 2nd term, but OIF differences was a way to let him go without making him lose face.

The Secretary is accountable to the President, but the President is supposed to be accountable to us. So what has President Obama done about this since January 20, 2009?

And if there had been such meetings over the last 5 1/2 years, who doesn't believe Jay Carney wouldn't be detailing all of them?
