He must have missed his homo quota.

[ilovesarah2012]

“Betcha Obama appoints a Muslim now.”

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

[dan on the right]

So many talented Democrats to take the job:

Eric Holder
Susan Rice
Lois Lerner
Al Sharpton
Ibraham Hooper (CAIR chief)
Michelle Obama

Decisions..Decisions...

[TomGuy]

FoxNews commentaries conclude that Hagel is being forced out.

[DaxtonBrown]

“His incompetence was obvious before day 1.”

And yet, Hagel was among the best and brightest left on the Obama team.

[sarasota]

Under the bus. Who can he blame next?

[hal ogen]

Just like Nero appointing his horse as a senator, I believe Clown Prince nobama may appoint his dog, bo, as the next head of the dep of defense.

[Lazamataz]

Why can’t I wake up to the news one day that a coup d’ etat has happened in my sleep?

You did.

But perhaps not the one you were hoping for.

[Obadiah]

I don’t like Hagel, but at least he is an American who is concerned about America. Obama and Jarrett are primarily concerned with protecting muslims and advancing islam. Kerry is just a dolt. Rice and the others are Marxists.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Posting on the fly here.

Odds are:
99.99% he is being forced out.
00.01% what little conscience he has (if any) led him to resign.

Either way, 100% incompetent.

[PhilCollins]

If you were a democrat president, whom would you nominate, to replace Hagel? I’d nominate Janet Napolitano, if I were Obama. She has enough experience, as a cabinet member and governor.

[Netz]

Never should have been appointed...Obama denuded the entire US military establishment for a Caliphate...

[livius]

I think many people would sympathize with that dream!

[txhurl]

:(

[servantboy777]

The Dems can have him, we don’t want him.

[dfwgator]

As well as being an idiot for Obama, he made the perfect scape goat.

Precisely why Obama hired him in the first place.

[redgolum]

Crap.
That means he might be going back home to Nebraska.

[Lazamataz]

Perhaps you could marry me instead.

[Netz]

HALARIOUS!!! Right on! General’s COUP. Then what would Obama say about Egypt’s coup?
