This President has produced the weakest Cabinet officials of any President in my lifetime. It has been one after another of “run of the mill” appointments.
His complete lack of executive experience has been overwhelming and the Presidency has been the worst for it.
He’s not the first President without executive experience, but he’s certainly been the worst at overcoming the lack thereof.
The clock strikes 12:00 twice each day. Ron Paul finally got one right.
Bottom line: he has been either unable or unwilling to appoint Cabinet heads of stature. I suggest it’s the former.
He is running with the “progressive” Fascist dogs and has been since He said “I do”.
Dittos to that.
I’m happy Obama doesn’t appoint republican warmongers. The obstructionist party of “no” will block any appointments he makes anyway so he needs to do whatever it takes whether it is a recess appointment or executive action. Bypass the traitor republican tea nuts and do what is right by the country. Fuck the republicans!
Yeah, we could use more Les Aspins!
Jocularity appreciated.
I’d be happy with a little “obstructionist” “no” when it comes to the never ending war.

Obama is too much of a warmonger himself. He is only one small tick away from being a neocon. He is only slightly more hesitant than W.Bush, in spite of campaign promises in 2008 to the contrary. Both parties are war parties. Time for Libertarians, who know that our military is here for DEFENSE, not for INTERFERING IN OTHER NATIONS.
And FARC the “progressive” fascist democrats, too. … Perhaps you would like cream and sugar with that?
Why not Jane Fonda?
Since Admiral James Forestal took the office in 1947, the average number of days served in just over 1,000. However, that includes two “interims” who served less than 100 days and Elliot Richardson who was reassigned to Attorney General by Nixon at just over 100 days to try to pull Nixon’s ass out of the Watergate fire. Ignoring those three, the average term to date has been just over 3 years.
Reagan, and Bush had two SecDefs, Clinton had three, his first choice, Les Aspin was an unmitigated disaster. Aspin’s term cut short (just over a year) by rapidly declining health and it was probably the best thing to happen to the Pentagon during Clinton’s tenure. He was universally reviled by the military and even Clinton had to admit he had bungled everything he touched. Having had a chance to witness the failings of an “no common sense” liberal policy wonk (Aspin), Clinton got serious about appointing a SecDef with a clue, Perry and Cohen both were competent choices.
At this point, President Obama has had three and is working on his forth. Gates walked after growing tired of Obama ignoring everything he was being told by the SecDef and the Pentagon. He was Obama’s longest serving and arguably best SecDef. Panetta stepped down because of the zoo the White House’s decision process had become. Now Hagel has bailed as well – should be an interesting two years at the Pentagon.
Good Intel on past troubles in the big P.
(With Hagel out, those A10s are now idle. The WH declared “free fire zone” in Syria [Drudge Saturday] and the Occupier-in-Chief unable to decide, that window is closing. We may never get Hotel California back without some backbone. Oh Bummer.)
I think this would be an excellent job for our senior senator. Grahamnasty is a chicken hawk, dose what Obummer tells him to, and most importantly would give SC another chance to elect a REAL Republican to the office. I’m sure the senate confirmation process would go smoothly as well. WOW a win / win situation for everyone.
I believe it should be referred to as “OUR PENTAGON”.
It was said bout Saddam Hussein but it sure fits our CinC.
As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist,nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that, he’s a great military man, I want you to know that. Norman Schwarzkopf
Past tense, fur sure … We could use a Stormin’ Norman in the think tank now.
RON PAUL:I’M COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT BUT NOT DEAD YET
How are you any different?
I’m not Ron Paul.
You read the article. Seems he was relevant enough to get your attention.
I didn’t read the article.
Some how,, we guessed that.
