WHAT COMES NEXT?

..Cry havoc and loose the dogs of war.

I was going to comment on the sexual harassment epidemic in the military. Truth is, when Mr. Obama ended Don't Ask, Don't Tell, it opened a door of opportunity for gays. Male on male sexual assaults have since outnumbered reported assaults on women. And I doubt that many male victims have been forth coming about being assaulted. The term has been coined; "Barak's Barracks". If only the Joint Chiefs could say "We told you so."

However, I feel compelled to discuss the news of Mr. Obama's appointment of Susan Rice to National Security Advisor and his nomination of Samantha Powers for Ambassador to the UN. Both actions are troubling to say the least. Susan Rice is known to most of us only as the person the administration sent out that Sunday morning to spread their lies about Benghazi. And I'll wager that most of America has never even heard of Samantha Powers.

Many people will say (and some already have) that Susan Rice's appointment is Obama's way of thumbing his noise at those who have criticized his mishandling of the Benghazi tragedy. Her position does not require Congressional approval. Some have called it "a poke in the eye".  Obama wanted to make Ms. Rice the new Secretary of State but it was clear that the Senate would not support her nomination. So, we got John Kerry. Can't get elected to President? Just wait around. You might be handed Secretary of State.
