Re-elected, Obama heads back to divided government

Changes are in store for the victorious administration. The election past, three members of Obama's Cabinet have announced plans to leave their posts: Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Other changes would not be unusual in the second administration of any president.

I searched and didn't see this...I found this paragraph deep into the AP article that's been republished in the Times. If it's been posted, Admins, please feel free to delete.

It’e not divided. Boner just called for raising taxes.

[Andrei Bulba]

Well our Sec of State was a corrupt incompetent leftist but not to worry.

She’s about to be replaced by an out and out traitor.

[Morpheus2009]

Makes me wonder who he would pick for Secretary of State? Condi Rice? Perhaps Romney? Huntsman? Powell? Obama does have a way of working to silence former opponents by putting them in his cabinet. He also can put supporters in as well.

[what's up]

You are wrong.

Boehner called for growth and closing of loopholes...the same position Romney had.

I can’t figure out if Panetta and Clinton are trying to distance themselves from Obama because of Benghazi, or Obama is trying to distance himself from Clinton and Panetta because of Benghazi.

Re-elected, Obama heads back to divided government

Will Hussein continue to blame his failures on Bush throughout his second term?

I heard Rice (of ‘it was a spontaneous protest’ fame) had aspirations to the SOS position. Obama put her in as UN Ambassador over Hillary’s objections & elevated it to a cabinet level position. After lying her head off the weekend after Benghazi, maybe she won’t be SOS after all. Then again, the way Obama works & especially of the WH sent her out to tell the video tale, such lying is probably a resume enhancement. If she’s a Jarrett puppet, she’ll get it.

The two names that have been bandied about for the next Secretary of State are Susan Rice and John F. Kerry. Kerry's foreign affairs credentials are stellar, from a Democrat's standpoint--he went to Paris during the Vietnam War to advise the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong (NLF) delegations on negotiations with the enemy (the US team). Rice's accomplishments are lesser but more recent and benefited Obama personally--she went on TV to lie about Benghazi.

I don't know who is being considered for the next Secretary of Defense. Cindy Sheehan? Dennis Kucinich? Beyonce?

[FreedBird]

The Clinton know Obama could be impeach in his second term.
Who would be vice President?

Getting out while the gettings good.

Obama won’t be impeached, the maggots still own the Senate.
