Following closely in Obama’s footsteps - leading from behind.
Hagel the bagel hater is a virulent anti-semite, perfect pick for the top anti-semite sitting in the WH .
No surprise.
Thanks Rand Paul for showing your true colors.
If the republicans knew they were going to let the idiot through why did they bother to raise a stink? It made them look worse.
Not surprising....surrounding himself with incompetents is the only way for this president to be the smartest guy in the room.
Well, now that that is over I certainly feel much safer. NOT! I long for the Rummy days.
Active duty family, so I will say NO COMMENT other than GOD HELP US!
The Muslim Brotherhood owns the U.S. Department of Defense.
Wow.
On the bright side....he’s probably too stupid to really screw things up as badly as someone who knew what they were doing.
There,I just swore him in myself.
Mark Levin was mad as h3ll last night. In case anyone missed it, here’s the podcast from the list:

Obama’s plan to use a republican as cover to gut the defense department is a bit out the window now since 41 republicans voted against him.
There is no dementia here, he knows exactly what he is doing for der Fuehrer and what he does is of his own accord.
When he was first elected as our senator he stated openly that he was sent to the senate to represent HIS point of view and not those of the Nebraskans who elected him. Arrogant POS, worthless senator, unqualified as hell.
All of the local democrats and many of the local “republicans” are cheering his appointment and swearing in.
FUBO & FAD
I think I won a dinner from this outcome. Honestly, I’d have preferred to go hungry.
I saw, as I assume many here did, Ted Cruz' brilliant interrogation of Hagel during the committee hearing. And Cruz specifically asked Hagel to produce additional documents and evidence, which Hagel first said he would, then did not. Cruz asked to have the vote delayed, but Levin overruled him.
Cruz is very, very smart. I was at first surprised that he didn't speak during the floor debate ( unless I missed it?)..but let's suppose that Cruz has the information..the speeches, the sources of funding for some of the groups that have supported Hagel...
Cruz knows that conservatives MUST start playing political hardball...so, wouldn't it be better to wait until Hagel goes through...THEN release all the damming information. This forces Hagel to resign, and that's a complete embarrassment to Obama and all the Senate Democrats..
One can dream....
This makes me Physically ill.
He has the job, and short of Divine Intervention, is not likely to be removed. So all we can do is hope&pray that Hagel's mental problems will be overcome, and he will lead the Defense of our Nation with honor and dignity.
That being said, I'm glad that I don't live in NYC or Washington D.C. for everybody knows they are prime targets.
Unelieveable
This is VALIDATION that it is pretty much ONE BIG LOSERS CLUB.
Unqualified or inept, the mentality seems to be... "I'll support you as long as you support me."
My point: Ineptness begets MORE ineptness."
Hate to say it but I always knew he’d be confirmed. Obama always gets what he wants from this Congress, and most of the stuff they were trying to nail Hagel about are not within the purview of the SecDef but rather the POTUS.
