Secretary of Defense

I am very partial to Fage, but Chobani put out this new flavor, Apple Cinnamon, and I am eating it right now and it is soooo delicious. If anyone here likes greek yogurt, which, would be anyone who is alive no?

No, he cannot change the world. Leaders do that. Time and again Obama has shown that he is not a leader. He is a poll watcher. He will rarely make the tough decision. I can think of only one instance that he has and that was in going ahead with the Osama mission.

Oh man, how brave! He must've had a room full of people all begging him "Nah, man, let's not kill this guy", but he was like "No, we're gonna do it." He really could've gotten his feet dragged over the coals for it.

I watched a TV programme about that the other night and he was very brave to go for it considering the very real risk that it could all go tits up. Indeed one of the helicopters did get damaged, reminiscent of the Iran hostage crisis, but they had enough contingency built in to overcome that. If it hadn't worked he could have kissed goodbye to a second term.

Where is Mark Twain when you need him? This is the theater of the absurd. Obama leaks that he is going to nominate a Republican for Secretary of Defense, and before liberals can say boo, Republicans freak out and start calling the soon-to-be REPUBLICAN nominee unqualified, an Israel hater, weak, blah blah blah.

So now, for act Two, liberals are supposed to get all up in arms that Obama's nominee is being disrespected by his fellow Republicans, because this is a direct slap in the face to Obama. So liberals instead of bitching up an effing storm, and saying, hey Obama, how about you do something really crazy and nominate a liberal you mf'er? HUH, how about that? they start fighting for Hagel! Who is now a fucking liberal cause celeb because he once questioned the bug-fuck nuts Bush foreign policy team on Iraq, and is now an honorary liberal in good standing for being slightly less insane than those guys!

And, to top it off, this may be the one fight we win! Yay team liberal!

If we were any dumber, we'd be in comas. Good work morons!

For me, I stand with the loons in Congress - No Chuck Hagel he's anti-American! Give us a pro-American Liberal!

Absotively. There is zero doubt that in the years between Eisenhower and W, Obama would easily be a Republican.

ROFLMAO... pure absurdity. In no way is he a Republican or a conservative. What you are finding out is that some issues (wire tapping, GITMO, Patriot Act, NDAA, etc...) are not left or right issues.

Fiscally speaking, every President since Ike has been drifting ever to the left (Clinton in his second term is the exception).

Socially speaking, there is no chance in hell Obama is anywhere near the Rep/Conservative views.

In terms of Big government vs. small... we know where Obama sides and it is not with Reps.

In terms of fiscal responsibility, there has been no greater example of ineptitude than Obama. He will continue running deficits vastly higher than those that were considered 'appalling' when Bush ran them in 2008.

Nah, you are just too partisan to see anything clearly.

Your basic premise is that George W Bush was a liberal because he spent a lot. That's just stupid. It's partisan, and it assigns labels to an action that are no correct, but are propaganda.

You people don't even know what a liberal is anymore. Oh, did you think you saw one on TV? Well, lay down and call a doctor because you are having an hallucination! Whatever you do, don't drive!

No, that was not my premise. Which further proves you don't actually read what people write, but rather simply assign to them that which you want them to have said.

What I stated is that ever since Ike, the spending has becoming ever more liberal, with the exception of Clinton's second term.

Hysterical ramblings from you? I suppose I should not be shocked.

The positive thing about Brennan is he opposed the Iraq war. Otherwise, I must confess, I don't know much about him.

The thing I like about Hagel is he doesn't give Israel a pass, he is very critical of some of Israel's policies.

No Darla, I did not. You are simply too blinded by your own nonsense to see that.

He's pro-torture. (Brenner)

I know that about Hagel, and it's not that i have anything against him, but this is such bullshit with Obama and his con dems and Republicans. And nominating a Republican to be sect of defense to me just plays into that old "We need the big gop daddies to keep us safe" bullshit. I just have had it with this guy lately. God forbid he should nominate an actual liberal.

Big strike! Pro torture, very bad.

In that respect, I agree, are there no liberals in the CIA! Defense?

I wouldn't even mind it if he gave us liberals elsewhere, like say Sect of Treasury. I can't stand Republicans and I wouldn't have been able to tolerate their behavior of Mitt had won (we all know how they behaved during 8 years of bush, really they are by and large animals, both elected and otherwise), but I feel like, really? This is all there is? This is the best I can hope for? Because it sucks.

No, they are quickly noted and quietly dispatched, never to be heard from again. The best kind of liberals ;)

Oh well too bad you have to put up with us! Imagine if only you could eliminate all the liberals here, things would be so great you could spend all your time talking to ILA, Yurt, and USF! Sounds like wonderland! Too good to be true!
