Politico ^ | 2/26/13 | DONOVAN SLACK

President Barack Obama said Tuesday that the nation will now have the defense secretary it needs.

"With the bipartisan confirmation of Chuck Hagel as our next Secretary of Defense, we will have the defense secretary our nation needs and the leader our troops deserve," he said in a statement. "From the moment he volunteered for military service in Vietnam, Chuck has devoted his life to keeping America secure and our armed forces strong. An American patriot who fought and bled for our country, he understands our sacred obligations to our service members, military families and veterans.

What could possibly go wrong?

"Who would enforce an imposed two state solution according to the recommendations signed off by Hagel? A “U.S.-led multinational force” which would be “under a UN mandate” and “feature American leadership of a NATO force supplemented by Jordanians, Egyptians and Israelis.” Jerusalem would have “a special security and administrative regime of its own.”

Paper tigers, McCain and Graham, for all their bluster in the confirmation committee and the news talk programs, ended up voting FOR Hagel.

They talk a tough game and fold when put to the test.

Maybe it’s because Hagel could even make Biden look smart. Honestly, this idiot is so underqualified for the job, it’s amazing.

Obama is like Jerry Jones, he doesn’t want good people working for him...he wants puppets.

These four monkeys will be talking real tough in the coming weeks to divert attention from this betrayal. Did Barry offer them something they could not refuse, or did McConnell select them to take the heat this time to get this through for BO. This is why I am not on the RaPaul bandwagon. I have a feeling that his policies would run quite similar to his father’s. Actions speak louder than words.

Lindsey Graham needs to come out of the closet. I’m sure he is being blackmailed. He is gay. Do not know why the senile McCain is being blackmailed. Arizona PLEASE vote this surrender monkey out come next election.

Just wait until he gets John "Muslim Convert" Brennan as head of CIA. Then Obama will have a well-rounded pack of traitors to dismantle our country and betray our allies.

WWIII/CWII is visible on the horizon. Obama is counting on it.

We have a four headed buffoon representing us. O’bobo is the head buffoon and he is followed by Biden, Vietcong Kerry and Hagel. One asshole is bigger then the next one. What a disgrace.
