Kerry mentioned to head DOD

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is being considered to head the Department of Defense as part of a reorganization of President Obama’s national security team, the Washington Post reports.

According to the Post, the reorganization also will include a permanent replacement of former CIA director David H. Petraeus — most likely  with John O. Brennan, Obama’chief counterterrorism adviser — and the nomination of  Susan E. Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the  Nations, as secretary of state.

The article notes that the nomination process for Obama’s new cabinet has become complicated by Patraeus’ extramarital affair scandal and the investigations surrounding the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.

But yet the majority of the American people voted to re-elect Pres. Obama. If everyone dislikes him and his tactics, how in the world did that happen?Now I have to hear (and read) about the nonsense that he and his team are doing yet again to the American people. I do believe that we are getting dumber by the day here in the U.S., obvisously I am saying that because he got re-elected knowing that he was bad news from his past 4 year term.

I hope Obama is smarter than this. John Kerry is seen as a traitor by many in the military and veteran communities for his disgraceful false testimony to Congress back during Vietnam. This make about as much sense as appointing David Duke to head the Civil Rights Commission.
