Obama: “I Will Not Tolerate” VA Misconduct

President Barack Obama on Wednesday called reported misconduct at the Veterans Affairs agency "dishonorable and disgraceful" and said that if the allegations prove true, "I will not stand for it." He praised VA Secretary Eric Shinseki as a "great public servant and a great warrior,” but said there will be accountability once "we know the facts." For now, Shinseki is "committed to solving the problem and working with us to do it," Obama said. Obama expects results from a preliminary review next week, he said.
