In reply to the discussion: Bob McDonald, former P&G chief, to be Obama’s nominee to lead Veterans Affairs [View all]BlueEye
(449 posts)It's hard to find anybody, including Democrats, that do not at least respect P&G. They are very good at delivering customer value. They also do a lot of good things for the community, and that was the case under MacDonald's tenure as well. Of course the VA needs more funding. Of course this is the GOP's fault that they are underfunded. But Bob MacDonald has a reputation of being a very effective manager, and I believe those management skills will serve our veterans well.
If you are someone who blindly hates everything that comes from corporate America, I guess there's no point in trying to convince you this is a good choice. But I personally applaud President Obama on this one. MacDonald is a choice made for the benefit of the veterans who utilize the VA's services, not for any ideology.
