I'm LOVIN it now that the 2nd Clinton Presidency is about to commence! I just LOVE reading all of the posts decrying Obama's obvious need to appoint people who ACTUALLY know how to run a government. It's also ironic that he's appointing people whose philosophies he took pains to DENIGRATE during the campaign! With respect to Gates, Obama's keeping the man in charge who is responsible for the winning surge strategy, a strategy Obama said WOULD NOT WORK! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahaha… I’m LOVIN it now that the 2nd Clinton Presidency is about to commence!

Backdoor draft, as in “bend over and like it”.

I really do not like Obama keeping Gates on, I feel that the military men and women will just keep getting screwed over with him still in charge. I hope I am wrong.
