The resignation is somewhat of a relief to people who are concerned that the Veterans Administration is suffering from mismanagement. The American People do not want in theembroiled situation of how to correct that. That really has to come and be needs the president and to be done quickly. Otherwise people are going to be disappointed and that this is going to be strung out ike the healthcare Computer System and so on. There seems to be not a quick enough response by the notnistration to handle policy issues but management issues. So it is a relief to the American People but i think if this was not handled by the right person appointed by the president , to handle this within tirednth, people will get of excuses. Do you think the resignation and trying to find someone knew down the road will be a distraction . Administrators know what good people look like. Good managers are.

This is an issue that is definitely, it does not matter whether you are democrat or republican or an independent. Veterans deserve the care they were denied. The is much bigger than Veterans Affairs secretary stepping down. I am glad that he was able to take his ego out of the situation and do what was right for the veterans and the American People because of this point he probably would not be effective in the world that he is fitting in. E need to see some assessment you are talking about 60 of these facilities serving veterans who were fighting wars in all of the world protecting our country, serving to seend they cannot get a doctor . There is no excuse for this. I this couldrstand how be, place and how this is something that not just occurred at one v. A. But across the united states. It takes more than his resignation.

Ashington journal whenat has been the result you have this classic economic holdout problem with retransmission for video you have companies doing this game of chicken where they cut off service to customers. Theyre starting to block traffic on their Internet Services for customers and the ultimate result is programming costs spiral. You wonder why your cable bill keeps going up . One big reason is the resolution of these disputes where the fcc is hamstrung by the rules and the ways to get involved here. These parties agree to deals which raise prices and give consumers lots of channels they do not want. That is what i am afraid of.
