CNN - Politics: Reports the following on the sacking of Secretary Hagel from Defense, the article notes the following, " CNN has learned the White House wanted Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to wait until this week to resign, so it would have a new nominee in place by then. But Hagel refused to wait, ..."
Lets Get Real:
This blog has respect for Secretary Hagel, if he was being fired he would go out on his terms, and not allow the White House to stage manage the event, at least Secretary Hagel has been under real fire, he served in military, while nearly none of Obama's inner team have had any military history. That is the problem with 2nd terms, all the good people are gone searching for new jobs, what you have left is those that could be called the 2nd term, the lack luster replacements for those that got the President there. As noted the new Defense Secretary can do what he or she likes, they can not be fired, 5 former Defense Secretaries would look bad on the PR front and to history. The curse of the 2nd term has really hit Obama.
