Obama announced at the Veterans Administration building that he is nominating Bob McDonald, a former chief executive of Procter &amp; Gamble, to be the next secretary of veterans affairs. Obama called McDonald &quot;one of our nation's most accomplished business leaders and managers.&quot; &quot;We've got to regain the trust of our veterans with a VA that is more effective, more efficient and that truly puts veterans first. McDonald, 61, would succeed Eric Shinseki, who resigned amid a scandal over widespread delays in getting healthcare to veterans.</p><br clear="all"/>
