Obama Mulls Options for Veterans Affairs Secretary, Including Tammy Duckworth and Max Cleland
Phillip Carter, Obama campaign's top veterans adviser. Before he joined the campaign in June, Carter was in Iraq, first as a military police officer with the Army, then as an embedded adviser with the Iraqi police. But his experience isn't just military. Along with his background as an Obama adviser and spokesperson, the 33-year-old has practiced law and been published in Slate and the Washington Post. With rumors swirling that Obama wants to pick a young figure from his campaign, Carter could be a possibility.

Late Reading but Enjoying It All The More
Mulling over the liberal lefts list of VA possibilities I have to laugh aloud. The ligitimacy the left gives and credibility they bestowed on young veterans (fools) whose strategic knowledge of (the) war and limited knowledge of history gave them the impression that they too could become the next John Kerry, and use their veteran credentials as a means of whinning their way into political power, prestige and popularity, is all to funny.
Obama is from Hawaii and his selecting the Retired (Political) General Shinseki is even more funny. Why? Because in Hawaii's political circles, excluding Senator's Inouye opinion, the general is considered a "Pentagon Insider". Rather, a hack of the old system, all of which Obama was suppossedly running against.
The Left has got to be besides itself these past few weeks.
Veterans Affairs A Job TOO Big For Anyone Person
I believe that the Department of Veteran's Affairs needs some serious streamling. That Department suffers from the law of diminishing returns. There are SO many people who are involved that employees don't know who to talk to or direct veterans issues to. Whether to implement new programs or polish of the old. Which forms to use. Who to voice a complaint to and it goes on and on. That's the reason NOTHING ever gets done. The department is a frustrating big mouse wheel that veterans are constantly running on. Then they have the nerve to contract out duties as if more confusion is needed with civilian companies. I have a 3 year issue working with no end in sight. TAME THE BEAST THAT IS THE DVA!!
