There were no really big surprises this morning when Obama announced his national security team. It did a lot toward stifling rumors and such though. Do I feel safer now? Nope, not at all.
It looked more like window dressing to me than anything of substance. Eric Holder is different though, he will be a nightmare. Hillary Clinton will be a lightning rod as well. Not only will the fact that she is a woman put her at a serious disadvantage in many parts of the world her history of colorful language might be insurmountable with many world leaders. James Jones was a surprise for many, myself included. This appointment will indeed test just how thick this Marines skin is. Seems as though he was one of those evil military types that Clinton refused to allow to wear his uniform in the White House. At least that was the rumor floating around then…
Rumors have a way of never going all the way to the grave. As in the saying “In politics perception is reality.”
Good luck Obama, I wish you well, I really do. We will soon see your leadership ability put to the test. Because you will, I think, ” be herding cats.“

Sodomized is more like it, and without so much as a smile…
