People who are considering a political career should take heed that sitting pretty in government offices is not similar to laying down on a bed of roses. The limelight and attention is astounding that it may go to the extent of haunting people and their past. Moreover, every move that political
figures would make will be monitored closely by people simply wanting a new scoop to catch the frenzied attention of people all over the world.

Take the case of GOP hopeful Rudy Giullani, who is the front-runner in the Republican presidential hopeful. His history of having three wives and the series of events that have occurred, including a reported public humiliation of his second wife in public has been circulating and creating chinks in his credibility.

Also, there is now a new issue with regards to investing in stocks as another candidate in Barack Obama was cited for making investments in the stock market, particularly in AVI Biopharma and Skyterra Communications which were misjudged as a form of bribe by media.

In politics, anything is possible. Even the impossible becomes possible.

As expected from the previous blog entry, the evident resignation of Army Francis J. Harvey was indeed intended for an impending turmoil that has focused on the below quality service that the said medical facilities have been giving towards their inbound patients, mostly military personnel. Such has become a political circus and has become a feeding ground for political figures in making it one of their stepping boards towards media attention today.

The outrageous issue has gotten out of control, especially since it concerns the condition of injured troops who are in the middle of the nation’s attention of the ongoing war. Different testimonies led by high ranked military personnel are set to support the congress’ obvious outrage of this breaking news. The most significant highlight of this issue is the supposed exodus of skilled staff that has lowered the quality of service provided by the medical facility and further risking the injuries and conditions of the wounded troops.

As usual, US troops have taken center stage with regards to the issues besetting the country as of today. The latest update is that of Army Secretary Francis J. Harvey’s resignation due to low standard conditions with regards to taking care of wounded troops at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

This obviously stemmed from President Bush’ latest move on making a review of the country’s network of military and veteran hospitals booked with a lot of casualties of the troops who served for the Iraqi war. The level of quality for providing patient care has obviously deteriorated and this has caught the ire of Harvey since he would be held liable and probably the scapegoat once it totally gets out of hand.

Left with not alternative, Defense Secretary Robert Gates accepted Harvey’s resignation. This was a move seen as forecasting his evident removal allowing him to exit before the bomb explodes and fingers start pointing. Whatever the case may be, for sure, Harvey will still be cited once this issue dramatizes in the coming days.
