he heads into a second term. all of a sudden there is the impression that he can get the role. all it takes for senators like lindsay graham, john mccain to stand up and say no. one of his nominees would not get through. in some ways if chuck hegel is going to be the person you might end up seeing the white house having to fight doubly hard after what ended up happening to susan rice. there was the impression and the white house said john kerry was just in the mix of susan rice when the secretary of state job. because of the impression they let her withdraw her name increases the pressure that they go fighting for chuck hegel even if they have to lose in fighting. if not chuck hegel, who? a lot of names on the list. chuck hegel seems to be at the top. the former top official in the defense department, if michelle would be picked and confirmed she would be the first female to head the defense department,
expressing my views. this is just a way to try to keep african-americans or black americans from from being from coming out and talking about conservative values and taking part in what we believe is going to be the best for our country. in the past couple of months, the exact opposite situation occurred for ambassador susan rice, the ambassador to the u.n., in line to get the secretary of state job. but senators questioned her experience or qualifications and some of her judgment and they were labeled as sexist and rapist. when she racist. they are darned if they do and darned if they don t. listen, we have looked i have talked about this during convention. i said, this president would like to separate us based on income level, gender, race, social status. that s exactly what is happening right now. if you look at what is happening, the president s policies have hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.
