What's Up Mr McCain?

What's Up Mr McCain? The word on capitol hill is that Senator John McMain is blocking the nomination of President Obama’s nominee to be the director of National Intelligence. Retired General John R Clapper was unanimously approved by the Senate Intelligence Committee to be the new intel chief but for whatever reason Senator McCain wants to play games and block the nomination.

The stated reason is that he is supposedly holding up the nomination until General Clapper provides him with a document. The naure of this document is undisclosed but it seems to have nothing to do with the General’s nomination. This is just a bunch of Mr McCain’s political shenanigans that no one other than Senator McCain can have a reason for. Politics is one thing but business is another. Whether he likes President Obama or not is not the point. We need to get this man in office so that he can begin to do the job that we need him to do. I could see holding up the nomination if there was a legitimate reason to but this is just a little bit silly. This is the kind of prank that I would expext an elementary school child to pull, not one of the highest ranking leaders of this country.

We should not be petty minded in our dealings. We need to do what’s right. We don’t need to play games when the national security of this country is at stake. Now let me say that I don’t know anything at all about General Clapper. I do not know whether he is qualified for the job or not so I will have to take the word of the Senate Intelligence Committand assume that he is capable of performing the new job. If they vouch for him he must be OK. So as far as the military ring man is concerned let’s put this man to work so that he can contribute to this countries peace and security.
