Hagel Gone
Chuck Hagel is gone as Secretary of Defense. He was Obama’s third bird. All three complained about interference from the White House staff. They were ok with the cooks and butlers but not so much Susan Rice, McDonough, and Ben Rhodes. Here’s an example from Bloomberg.
Like his immediate predecessors at the Pentagon, Robert Gates and Leon Panetta, Hagel chafed at the way a small cadre of Obama loyalists centralized power in the White House. When Obama backed off a threat to bomb Syria last year, he made the decision on a walk with his chief of staff, Denis McDonough. Hagel was informed of the decision later.
Hagel is is flying the coop, but not just yet. He’ll stay on until Secretary of Defense IV is found.
Pajama Boy
The Obama Election Committee for Life, Organizing for Action, is promoting the joys of ObamaCare to young people. For Thanksgiving they urged the young invincibles to talk turkey about healthcare at family gatherings. For Christmas they introduced Pajama Boy when they tweeted this image while advising the faithful to:
Wear pajamas. Drink hot chocolate. Talk about Getting health insurance.
Pajama Boy
Pajama Boy was the instant butt of jokes all over the country. Which means he got millions in free publicity. Even on Bokbluster.
Happy Thanksgiving
Not long ago the big brothers and Big Sis’s of the Obama administration took to referring to themselves as the “federal family”. Embrace your kin – the most dysfunctional family ever. Happy Thanksgiving!
