Both sides don't like him...

From the Left...

Will Chuck Hagel Apologize for His Anti-Gay Voting Record?

And from the Right...

Chuck Hagel and the 3D-Test of Anti-Semitism

I think Obama might've picked him to say "Look!...I'm reaching across the aisle!" and grabbed the first Republican available...Unfortunately, he didn't look to see if the guy was a douche...

I think he's a bad choice and doubt he will be confirmed.

Is this barrak's version of bipartizanship, nominating somebody neither side will vote for?

And in the end, that might be a good thing......

He will be the latest distraction to divert attention from Benghazi and Fast and Furious. Seems Holder has a court date coming up soon and Hillary is recovering from her head bump although she may have memory loss.

And that means it also might NOT...

Anti-gay is irrelevant when it comes to Secretary of Defense...

Being an anti-Semite is HUGE though...
