White House website still lists Shinseki as VA secretary

It's being reported that President Obama will nominate former Proctor & Gamble CEO, Robert A. McDonald, as the next Veteran Affairs Secretary. A veteran, McDonald will face a tough struggle if he's approved by the US Senate. The deadly VA Waiting List Scandal betrayed a dysfunctional agency--and the White House has been a hostile environment for those who have extensive private sector experience; in short, the in-house leftists don't like people with proven track records outside of government.

Oh, the White House just might want to update its website. The inept Eric Shinseki, who resigned in late May, is still listed as the VA Secretary. Sloan Gibson is the acting boss of the department.
