Pundits on couple shows today brought up the possible nomination of Chuck Hagel and the question of why the president would nominate him knowing the opposition already voiced by many on the republican side. Some say the president wanted to show his willingness to work with the Republicans and various reasons but all or most of the reasons given seemed to try to paint the president a nice guy for nominating Hagel.
The only reason I see for the President to nominate Hagel is simply to give him another opportunity to blame Republicans for something and show the media and his adoring fans those mean old Republicans will do any and everything they can to not allow this president to look good as he saves the country.. The president already knew the Republicans didn't support putting Hagel in that position. So now he can blame something else on those obstructionist Republicans. As everybody knows the only thing the Republicans want is to block and obstruct the president to make him fail. Everyone knows they have done all they can to slow or block progress as the president tries to fulfill his responsibilities and help get on about the business of saving the country. Yep once again this Republican party is showing their willingness to be hostile to the president but it's probably because of their racist attitudes.
