President Barack Obama has summoned Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki to the White House for a discussion of mounting problems within the health care system for the nation's military veterans. The meeting was to occur later Friday. Obama described his thinking in a nationally broadcast interview which aired Friday morning, saying he wanted to have a "serious conversation" with the retired Army general about whether he should remain in the job. Obama said he planned to ask Shinseki whether he was "prepared and has the capacity" to fix sweeping problems in the VA's nationwide health care system.
