WTF why is the GOP making this kind of announcement. Do we no longer have any communication process? Isnāt this the Presidentās prerogative to make this announcement?
Why is TPM giving this guy a headline?

Especially if all youāve got is just the one lineā¦
Why are they so breathless to publish the headline that they donāt even mention who or what he is, why he would be good or bad, what his qualifications are, what his party is (GOPer Iām sure), or anything else.

Well Inhofe supports him, so I am sure he will be a terrible choice. When has Inhofe ever been right about anything? Worst senator ever.
Not such a bad guy, definitely not stupid.

It would be really interesting to see a GOP-libertarian opposition to Ashton Carter based on his under-the-rug contract work for major defense contractors.
Heās been described as āintellectualā, that could be the kiss of death in todayās political climate.
Very bad, yes. Stiff contemporary competition for āworst ever.ā

Wow. Why does Goldman Sachs have dibs on Treasury, Monsanto on Ag and MIC on War? Iād rather have a shift manager from McDonalds over a lobbyist from the trades. At least they managed somebody!
āI support it very strongly,ā Inhofe said. āIām very pleased he is going to be our secretary of defense. I canāt imagine that heās going to have opposition to his confirmation.ā
The GOP opposes the Presidentās choice of shoe color on a daily basis. Why would Sen. Inhofe think this is any different?
If Inhofe supports this nomination, then the nomination is a stupid move by Obama that will ultimately cost the rest of us dearly.
