To: Protect the Bill of Rights

Under the bus, most definitely.

Though, I’m not believing what we are seeing on the surface.

Back in April, 2011 when President Obama announced that General Petraeus was going to retire from the Army and become his CIA director, Reuters posted this interesting headline:

“President Barack Obama’s choice of General David Petraeus as CIA director will bolster his national security team with a Republican favorite who is sometimes seen as a future White House aspirant.”

I have said from the beginning Obama has done an excellent job of neutralizing the competition. For example:
Joe Biden VP
Hillary SOS
Don’t forget Petraeus was demoted in a sense by Obama in 2010:
“....On June 23, 2010, President Barack Obama nominated Petraeus to succeed General Stanley McChrystal as commanding general of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, technically a step down from his position as Commander of United States Central Command, which oversees the military efforts in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, and Egypt....” (source wiki, I know but pulled on the run)
