Obama responded personally this week to a growing furor that veterans had suffered long delays in receiving healthcare, making clear that Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki's job could be on the line. Obama has assigned Rob Nabors, one of his top aides, to conduct his own look into what happened.</p><br clear="all"/>
