tucker carlson, what changed?first of all, does anybody think that the firing of one of the decent people in the obama administration is going to fix this problem? what changed is political considerations. you've got six or seven democrats in the senate who are really clinging to their seats, it looks like a number of them are going to lose, and he just got too intense. the president ignored -- this wasn't republicans calling for shinseki's resignation that spurred the action, it was democrats. they're the ones he listens to. it was purely political, and i don't think this is going to result in profound reforms at the va. >> key step, did the president feel the pressure on this one? >> i think he did, but there were a lot of high profile republicans calling for this. it's true, once democrats got on board, i'm made a difference. i thought from the get go this was how this was going to end. we know it's going to end. for some reason, the president takes a long time -- >> why does he, by the way? >> he would say bec
