It’s not surprising that a President who prefers yes men to truth-tellers appears to be having a hard time finding a replacement for Chuck Hagel, who was forced to resign this week after a series of public disagreements with the White House. The top candidates have already said: “Thanks, but no thanks.” This does not augur well, as the President elected to end two unpopular wars in the Middle East reluctantly leads his country into a third of his own making... theglobeandmail/globe-debate/obamas-yes-men-say-no-thanks/article21801099/
