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
