He challenged Obama’s view that ISIS is junior varsity.

IF Ted Cruz is serious and ID they don’t blackmail him, good luck on confirming a replacement.

Just was reading a comment by Brian Faughnan (Communications Director, The LIBRE Initiative.)

‘Hagel wasn’t a good Secretary, but it’s sad the WH wants to try to make him the scapegoat for ISIS.’.I’m old enough to remember when most Senators thought Hagel was a terrible pick, but the WH insisted he was the perfect SecDef...’

I’ll betcha in six months to a year he will increase his retirement income by publishing a “Tell All Book”.

President Obama fires his only Republican cabinet member after a Republican drubbing in the elections.

I’d say he was coming to his senses if I thought he had any.

No surprise, it takes powerful strong people to occupy important post’s. The Zero has pretty worn his list of sycophants to the bone. There aren’t too many useful idiot’s left, Biden and Kerry are spoken for. He’ll probably find someone black.

“”He came into the job confused. Still is.””

That’s the way he always appeared to me - disheveled almost like a drunk. Not a nice way to put it but ~~~~~!

Just announced on FOX News - he was fired. If I want to STAY TUNED, I’ll learn the details. They may get to it before lunch time.

I noticed that too, during his confirmation hearing... his halting answers and inability to remember some of his own statements gave me the impression he was suffering from dementia.

So, I wonder who King Baraq will seek to replace Hagel. I would not be surprised if the Perfumed Prince himself, Gen. Wesley Clark is given consideration. He has the apparent “credentials,” and is an unflagging supporter of Obama. Another might be retired Adm. Joe Sestak, who ran vs. Pat Toomey for Senate in PA. He’s a hardline liberal who would dutifully parrot whatever Whim of the Day given to him by the King.
