   So Obama picks a former Republican Senator(Chuck Hagel) as Secretary of Defense and the Republicans are making an issue out of it. Go figure. Maybe they would prefer Barney Frank. lol

   Well I guess you like most on the left do not do any research before they spout off!

   Critics point to Hagel’s 2006 comment that the “Jewish lobby” intimidates people on Capitol Hill. They also say that he is too willing to engage in negotiations with Hamas and that he has opposed sanctions against Iran.

   In an interview on CNN Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called the pick an “in-your-face nomination” from Obama.

   “Quite frankly, Chuck Hagel is out of the mainstream of thinking on most issues regarding foreign policy,” said Graham, who has said he will wait until confirmation hearings to make up his mind on his vote.

   The administration also will need to win over support from pro-Israel Democrats like Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who has so far not commented on Hagel.

   Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) said on Current TV Monday that Hagel was “controversial” and that he has questions that must be answered before supporting Hagel’s confirmation.

   Hagel is also taking fire from the left for comments he made about former U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg James Hormel, whom Hagel called “openly aggressively gay” when Hormel was nominated in 1998.

   @sunshine, Amherstburg…. Duffy’s….. Brewers Retail….. (now the beer store)…. two two-fore of Blue please. In the 1986 Hubby and I was loading our boat up the Blue and Classic, when a Canadian agent said us what are call in number was. I sheepishly said, “We didn’t have change so we went to Brewers first. We promised to get their dollies back quick, so we need to unload first.” He shook his head and I walked into Duffy’s and made the call.
   Think I’d get a trip to the customs office today. Well, my life before children.
   So, are you in the states or Canada?

    @Ratboy

    I did my research, basically any Republican who has an issue with Hagel is a neocon pure and simple. Republicans who truly are into dept reduction should be more then happy with the pick. Time for the Senators to show there true colors are they big spending Neocons or pure fiscal conservative

    As for the Jewish Lobby he probably should have worded it Israel lobby but his comments are spot on about them pushing people around an bullying them, it would be great to have somebody who doesn’t fear standing up to them.

    Mainstream Neocon thinking sure, mainstream US public thinking I would argue no. He may not be warhawk and for big military spending like the cons, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t mainstream, it just means he doesn’t mesh with the neocons thinking. As I said this is the time for the Republicans to show their true colors when it comes to viewing things from a fiscal POV.

    Chuck Hagel was already on one of Obama’s committees already. So, it wasn’t like he was picking someone new.
    Republicans care more about the person’s view on defense and foreign policy then the party they come from. Obama’s outwitted you again Mark. You are responding just the way he wanted you to. He picks a republican he knows that most republican view as a poor choose. When they complain Obama says, “look I’m reaching across the aisle and the republicans are still complaining.” Obama has your number. He knows how to play the average American.

    The only time liberals want to be fiscally responsible is when it comes to defense spending.

    Marc:: you have always been anti israel down the line, you still cannot understand that your anti semitism that you have previously spouted months ago, cloud the reality that without israel in the mid-east we as a nation would have no prayer there….

    @cathy

    I call BS to any Republicans who cries we need to cut the debt in one breath then says we need to increase defense spending in the next. If you think we need more defense spending fair enough, debate on that regard but don’t tell me you care about the debt if you do.

    As for Obama outwitting me no he didn’t, I fully well know what he is doing, he is showing how ridiculous the Republicans are

    @Dana

    I am not anti Israel, but I am anti AIPAC, there is a difference. I truly hope for peace int he middle east but we don’t need a lobby that has their own agenda telling us how to run our country.

    I hate this idea that because I am not a fan of AIPAC or Netanyahu that somehow means I am anti semetic, maybe it means I just don’t like their policies and am not afraid to say it out loud. Their is many Jewish people both in ISrael and the US I have no problems with their views on world events and the US role int he middle East

    AIPAC is a lobby organization that doesn’t have the US best interest in mind. Now if you don’t have a problem supporting that more power to you but I do take issues with outside organizations telling us how to run our country, many times when I disagree with what they are pushing.

    cathy:: liberals on the far left hate israel…take note of what they did at the democratic convention when it was announced that jerusalem is the capital of israel and put on there platform…

    @Dana

    So are you saying Jewish people hate Israel because over 70% of Jewish people voted Democrats. lol

    I would assume they have a better grasp of what they think is best for Israel and I support the Jewish people in the US
