President Obama is considering asking Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) to serve as his next defense secretary, part of an extensive rearrangement of his national security team that will include a permanent replacement for former CIA director David H. Petraeus.
Although Kerry is thought to covet the job of secretary of state, senior administration officials familiar with transition planning said that nomination will almost certainly go to Susan E. Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

I read all the posts, and no one thought to breach the subject of just who would be appointed Senator in his place.
Can you say the word “Kennedy”?
I knew you could!

Im sorry you had a bad day, sweetie. I'll be Secretary of Defense one day and make it up to you. I promise not to tell anyone about your little secret."

No, we can’t think like that. John F’ing Kerry is the best possible choice. Horseface Lurch is a total fool. He is Neidermeyer from Animal House. Two weeks and everyone there will vote him off the frikking island. I’m saying give us more incompetent twits to sail the ship of fools. It will sink on its own ASAP. Just keep giving the dems the Obama cocaine. They’ll be overdosed and toothless soon enough. Then we can get back to fixing everything the way we want it, what is best for everyone, not just them.

The possibility of a traitor as Sec. Def. is just amazing!
Why not? We've got one for Commander in Chief...

"Although Kerry is thought to covet the job of secretary of state, senior administration officials familiar with transition planning said that nomination will almost certainly go to Susan E. Rice," Why not? Last Tuesday proved Americans love being lied to.

I hadn’t thought of it that way. Interesting take on it; I hope you’re right.

Depends on who invades us. If it's the Russians, I'll welcome them with as much Vodka as I can buy.
I'd look at them as a liberating army.

No doubt that 0bama told Susan Rice "If you LIE for me I'll give you a cushy job after I STEAL the election" and she said, "Okay I'll do it!!"
To: Innovative
My my. So Lurch emerges as the head of an organization he sees as full of terrorists, murderers, rapists, and war criminals. What could go wrong?
If I was in the military, I'd seriously reconsider my profession. First, they will not rescue you if you pose an electoral problem and the man who is your immediate boss and his boss will turn you in for made up war crimes to the UN.

Send in the Clowns. Rice’s Senate hearing would be a hoot.

She may be stupid, but she’s got the two-fer race card (female AND black) that will prevent ANY Republican from fighting her appointment for fear of being called ‘racist’ and LAMBASTED by the media propaganda machine!
To: riri
What exactly is in this for the Clintons? 2016? She'll have to fight "Plugs" for the nomination.
