"""I think she is extremely sloppy"""

Burr to support Iraq vet for post at Veterans Affairs

Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina has agreed to allow the nomination of injured Iraq veteran Tammy Duckworth go forward for a top post in the Veterans Affairs administration.



And that 'sloppy' comment comes from a Representative of the People who, along with his staff, rarely answers correspondence, like Sen. Dole before and with him! And when deciding to place the hold on the Duckworth nomination didn't offer a reason why nor once decided to lift didn't make a comment till two days later! "Sloppy" Senator Burr, look in a mirror, and look at your staff, All on our dime!!

The public, who you serve, and us Vets who did our service and need the VA cleaned up after the almost total incompetent administration of during two wars. Of which your political affiliation held the power and the purse strings during those first many years. Had to find out about your release of the hold through the public media



with No Public Statement From You!! Clean up your own 'sloppy' house senator!!
