Chas Freeman, the former ambassador appointed to be the military's top intelligence analyst, has withdrawn his name following complaints from Democratic and Republican lawmakers who said he was too entangled in foreign affairs to handle the job.

[Westlander]

Yet another.

Thank God.

And has anyone else figured out Obama is intentionally picking the WORST people he can find? This guy is determined to destroy this country. I feel it in my gut.

too bad panetta won’t do the same.

I have never seen so many presidential appointee nominees fall by the wayside as with this presidency.

Usually there’s one that will bite the dust, or MAYBE another that withdraws, but nothing like this. It’s really unprecedented.

Are we supposed to trust this idiots judgement?

[Aussiebabe]

If you think about it, who are good Democrats/liberals that he could pick from?

[BallyBill]

Another victim of the VRWC. He can go on tour with Ayers and Churchill and become The 3 Stooges of Anti America.

[rlmorel]

I think he is picking the most liberal person he can, and when they get bounced, the next person doesn’t seem so bad, even though they may be just as far to the left.

don’t you mean, unPRESIDENTED?

[snowsislander]

Good.

The article says:

“Freeman has a formidable resume of foreign policy positions that include U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia under George H.W. Bush and assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs — a position that earned him public service awards for his role in creating a NATO-centered post-Cold War European security system. Freeman also served as Richard Nixon’s chief translator in China in 1972.”

Maybe the Congressmorons’ objection is that he is too smart.

They don't want their careers ruined when the ship sinks - and its already listing pretty good right now.

[JRochelle]

The problem was this guy hated Israel. Good riddance.

[Tai_Chung]

What is the withdrawl count now? I’ve lost track.

[kellynla]

who's doing the vetting? Bugs Bunny? LOL

[Free America52]

Thank you Lord. We’re winning people, keep the pressure up to keep these jerks out of our government.

[McGavin999]

I could understand all these failed nominees if the pubbies were in charge of congress, but FGS, Obama has a totally democrat congress and senate and he STILL can’t get it right.
