Palin as Secretary of VA No Way!

At any other federal agency the issue is only how much waste, abuse and fraud

Only thing lost will be the typical billions when leadership is inept or flawed

But at the VA something much more precious is at stake

That's why Sarah Palin would be a colossal mistake

During the Obama terms vets have been hung out to dry

Waiting for even appointments much less procedures they continue to die

While managers and employees scam the system with falsified waiting lists

Illegal bonuses to line their pockets a temptation they cannot resist

The only person that would be perfect to turnaround the VA

Who under deadlines and pressure at Salt Lake City saved the day

The Winter Olympics was a great, successful event

Without a man of Romney's business talent would have failed no matter how much money was spent

Another strike against Palin is that when it comes to business experience she has zip

Worse in her only executive job as governor after three years she quit

Maybe secretary of interior but seriously head of the VA?

With 300,000 employees entrenched, immune to change, no way!
