Hagel Resigns As Defense Secretary, Official Says

Obama will appoint the first transgendered secretary of defense, any day now

 

Hagel was token Republican in the O'Bama administration trying to resurrect Lincoln's 'team of rivals'. Good riddance to a RINO loser.

 

Hagel is not a real American. He still thinks he needs to give O'Bama a Lewinski to be close to power. He is a loser just like Obama.

 

If you accept a cabinet position then you had best put forth the message as told by the WH

If you don't like it, don't accept the role

I'm not defending Obama as that is an indefensible position but you can't publicly air dirty laundry

 

Great point.

 

Alcoholism and poor health.

 

He didn't resign; he was fired because he dared to speak up against the president stupid and insane foreign policies which is taking us backwards!! Obama goes through Defense Secretaries faster than most people go through Kleenexes. I mean 3 of them in 6 years...and about to go for #4. And one of them was a Democrat.....Panetta....and he's even turned on the president and telling the truth. I doubt there's anyone of any value who would want this job......and to become a part of Obama's totally horrible legacy that he's going to have on foreign policy and SO MANY other issues.

This is why I believe Hillary won't be the shoe-in that so many people believe her to be. She's too much a part of Obama's legacy....and that will stick to her like a bad stink!!!! She won't be able to wash it off.

 

Panetta and Gates both criticized the President harshly after leaving office. I believe Hagel will testify to the same. Micromanagement. Not listening to advisors even those in country who know what's going on. This President's mismanagement and thus ruin of a foreign policy is part of his legacy. He's simply and matter of fact the most incompetent and unqualified President in our history.

 

I am guessing this move happened because now they have purged the military deeply from officers on down and now they fire the hatchet man they put forward so the association will be lost and the new Sec. of Defense can continue right along like the Administration did nothing wrong.

 

I'm guessing Obama didn't like the statement Hagel made about ISIS being the worst threat in the ME. Obama thinks they are just a JV team.

 

It's never easy working for a micromanager. Especially one who has no clue about the military. Obama is a clueless community organizer.

 

Obama can handle many things except criticism. Hagel was excluded from the inner circle.

 

Imagine any president excluding their Secretary of Defense in a time of war. Unbelievable.

 

Which is the president's right. Although it sounds like the president wants an yes man in that position, one that will always agree and never give him any bad news.

Gates, Panetta were their own man, so it seems Hagel was too.

 

There's just one guy at the top and in our system it's the President. Crap flows downhill and if the junior players don't want to shovel they shouldn't be on the team. They don't get to make up their own rules.

 

Actually no. There are 3 Branches of the Government for a reason.

 

Naw that bus isn't getting crowded cause it's like Christine...everything that goes under it doesn't come out again.

 

As a violation of what law?

 

Gone is the man with the Sugar Bowl hair cut.

 

Cabinet secretaries serve at the pleasure of the president, not at his bidding.

 

Nah, you just can't have an alcoholic SecDef. He should never have been appointed. And Hagel has been looking very bad lately.

 

Don't hire a Secretary of Defense who wants to wind down the wars in the ME when you know Iraq isn't going as well as you'd like people to believe. Obama needed a hawk not a dove in these troubled times. Hagel has always been known for his dovish beliefs.

 

If that was the case, Hillary and Chuck would have had their positions swapped out.
