2. But we could do worse, should disaster strike

Don't be scared about something happening until Hillary asks to be the one put in a secure location with a judge and a Bible.

I imagine that usually they can’t. Cabinet secretaries aren’t approved by the Senate prior to inauguration day so they can’t designate a disaster replacement. Gates is an exception. Should something massive happen at the Capitol then he’d be it.

Call Karl Rove and GWB and have them crank up the “disaster” machine. Liberals heads would explode if Gates was left in charge.

"1. God Forbid
"2. But we could do worse, should disaster strike
"3. I didn't realize they had to "pick a guy" for inaugurations like they do for the State of the Union"

I agree with your first two comments. As to the third, appointing a "disaster successor" is rarely done particularly when administrations change for one very practical reason...the incoming POTUS intends to appoint his own cabinet. In this particular case, Obama asked Gates to stay on for at least a couple of years so Gates is the only member of Obama's cabinet who is in place and confirmed.

While I hope we don't need a disaster successor, I must point out that a terrorist attack would have to wipe out Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Byrd (Gee, Biden is Byrd Brain and Byrd is just Bobby Big Byrd Grand Kleegle or whatever of the United States of AmeriKKKa as Jeremiah Wright would note.) for Gates to succeed to the presidency.

Zbigniew Brzezinski endorsed him? That is not good:

I’m sitting it out too, but I’m pretty far down the line of succession.

From another thread:

Obama places his hand on the bible and Chief Justice says: ... Before we can proceed I require TWO Photo IDs, a Certified Birth Certificate and Proof of Insurance!

That would be the disaster (for Obama) I'd like to hear about!

Wouldn't that be something?

I could see the PTB exploding a nuke in the middle of the Inauguration with a Police State/gun round up soon to follow. (and the People would demand it)

Sounds like Gates is preparing for a plot out of Clancy’s “Executive Orders”

Despite the “humor” posted by others, I for one am glad that someone is being a Big Boy about COOP.

This ceremony does present terrorists with THE target of opportunity - I pray the Secret Service, cops and military are all their toes.

Thousands could be hurt.
