President Barack Obama said Friday that he had reluctantly accepted the resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, giving in to growing calls from lawmakers and veterans’ advocates that he step down in the wake of widespread reports that VA hospitals falsified waiting lists.


“I want to reiterate: he is a very good man,” Obama said of Shinseki. However, the president said the decorated retired Army general concluded “he could not carry out the next stages of reform without being a distraction…I regret that he has to resign under these circumstances.”


The secretary had set in motion several firings and disciplinary actions, the president said, and more changes were coming — significant ones. “There is a need for a change in culture …that makes sure bad news surfaces quickly so things can be fixed,” he said.


Shinseki “is deeply disappointed in the fact that bad news did not get to him and that the structures weren’t in place for him to identify this problem quickly and fix it,” the president said. “His priority now is to make sure that happens, and he felt like new leadership would be — would serve our veterans best, and I agree with him.”


Obama said Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson, who’s only been in that job for three months, will step in temporarily as VA secretary while the administration looks for a permanent head for the department.


In that post, “I want someone who is spending every minute of every day figuring out, have we called every veteran that’s waiting?” the president said.


Obama also he recognizes that, regardless of personnel moves, he is the one ultimately responsible for the failures at the VA.


“This is my administration; I always take responsibility for whatever happens,” he said, adding that he’s been deeply concerned about veterans’ issues since serving on the Veterans Affairs committee in the Senate.


Key lawmakers said they welcomed Shinseki’s departure, but had no warning of it before the president spoke.


“Leadership matters; calling for Secretary Shinseki’s resignation did not come lightly to me, but accountability starts at the top and the step taken today is just the beginning,” Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Ks.) said. “We now need accountability and true reform within the VA all across the country. For this to occur, we need a fresh perspective and a leader who is willing to shake up the VA’s bureaucratic culture.”


House Veteran Affairs Chairman Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) said he’d received no heads up from the administration or Shinseki about the announcement, which Obama delivered
