Alan West?
Ollie North?
He has to find a liberal ideologue j with the right gender and/or skin color. Have to avoid nominating anyone who actually knows something about national defense.
Senator Juan McCain..........Paging Senator Juan McCain..............you are wanted on the Red Phone.........STAT..............
No surprise. It’s become clear that Secretary of Defense in this administraion has no discretion and is completely micromanaged by Obama. And when things go wrong the SecDef takes all the blame. It’s a lose/lose situation and not a good resume builder.
Sort of like the situation with the Oakland Raiders. No assistant coach person who wants to be a long term NFL head coach will work for the dysfunctional Raiders. I am sure there is some mediocrity who will eventually take the Sec Def job.
What about John “I served in Viet Nam” Kerry?
He has so much talent and ability (just ask him), that he could serve in both positions and do just as good a job as he is doing now as Secretary of State.
If Bam were smart he’d bring back Petraeus of McCrystal, but he’s not smart; so he’ll stick with an affirmative action hire.
Lets see, it could be Susan Rice, or Jeh Johnson or Gruber.
He has to recycle his crooks and liars these days.
It will be a lawyer with no military experience and some claim to a minority.
Lindsey Graham. As a RINO, he’s qualified. If not, maybe David Gergen will do it.
Picking his nose is a challenge.
He should appoint Michael Browns Stepfather.
He knows how to get people to burn stuff down.
It is said that Michele Flournoy is waiting for a gig with Hillary if she wins in 2016
My guess, Wesley Clark.
Jane Fonda would be perfect.
"President Obama has said that the vast majority of Americans have no right demand border security, because their ancestors once came in without permission themselves."Given this sentiment, can you explain to this committee why America should maintain a Department of Defense, the Department which you have been nominated to operate and oversee?
"Indeed, how can America claim the right to possess any sort of military apparatus whatsoever, under the reasoning of your Commander in Chief?"
Black, female, lesbian.....
Why, is Susan Rice busy?
Congress should hold up and NOT APPROVE any nominee Obama puts forward . Force Hagel to stay on until the new Congress has even more power to decide . Something is up and the Republicans need to do all they can to defeat Obama’s maneuvers . It’s not like we do not have a Sec Def , we do , his name is Chuck Hagel , apparently a man who finally found his balls , amidst the harpie tag team of Jarrett and Rice . KEEP HAGEL THERE .
