I hope he’s not going anywhere. No because he is any good, or because the next one will be worse, but because the Senate must refuse to confirm all 0bama nominee confirmations until he reverses his illegal executive actions.

Apparently Chuck & Valerie mixed it up in a high-profile display recently.

I hope Chuck got the last word with ‘Article 25’.

There has never been a female or minority Sec. of Defense.

Expect Obama to correct that very soon.

My thoughts exactly (coming home to NE).

I think the biggest strike that the ZERO TEAM would have against Hagel, is that they can blame him for getting us back in to Iraq and Afghanistan now... It seemed like he was trying to step up the military to border on having competent strategies.... and that probably pissed off VJ or someone, IMHO.

Watch him nominate Flounoy, hoping it’ll draw heavy opposition from the right. That’ll keep the phony war on women narrative alive.

Never a big fan of a Hagel, but he was fired for actually wanting to defeat ISIS. You can bet the bank on his replacement being a liberal, unqualified woman or black. Mark it down. By the way, Dear Leader has fired all senior generals and now the Sec of Defense.

Good riddance to the coward and traitor.

Like the replacement will be any better. The TinC, Traitor in Chief, will report someone just as disastrous for our national security.

His incompetence was obvious before day 1. Of course, the Marxist didn’t care.

Oh they do care. Hagel was hired because of his incompetence. (Oh, and his hatred for Israel, too.)

For what they are looking for, Cynthia McKinney would be the perfect fit. She’s incompetent AND she hates J-O-O-S.

Obama announcement: ‘Hagel’s service as SoD has been exemplary.’

[So, we are firing him.]

Obama is off-teleprompter: he is babbling and rambling.

Obama is reading words. He is showing little emotion or animation.

Don’t confirm a replacement who will assist in implementing 0bama’s illegal Administration.

[ “Betcha Obama appoints a Muslim now.”

That’s my guess, at least a muslim sympathizer. ]

Eric Holder is looking for work, and in his new position they can cover EVERYTHING up under the pretense of “National Security”....

I heard Obama will nominate Bill Ayers as Sec Def. Don’t know if thats true ... but it fits this administration.
