Yet another.

Thank God.
And has anyone else figured out Obama is intentionally picking the WORST people he can find? This guy is determined to destroy this country. I feel it in my gut.

I have never seen so many presidential appointee nominees fall by the wayside as with this presidency.
Usually there’s one that will bite the dust, or MAYBE another that withdraws, but nothing like this. It’s really unprecedented.

If you think about it, who are good Democrats/liberals that he could pick from?

Another victim of the VRWC. He can go on tour with Ayers and Churchill and become The 3 Stooges of Anti America.

I think he is picking the most liberal person he can, and when they get bounced, the next person doesn’t seem so bad, even though they may be just as far to the left.

The article says:
“Freeman has a formidable resume of foreign policy positions that include U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia under George H.W. Bush and assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs — a position that earned him public service awards for his role in creating a NATO-centered post-Cold War European security system. Freeman also served as Richard Nixon’s chief translator in China in 1972.”
Maybe the Congressmorons’ objection is that he is too smart.

I could understand all these failed nominees if the pubbies were in charge of congress, but FGS, Obama has a totally democrat congress and senate and he STILL can’t get it right.
