“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

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.

“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.”
