Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n
Chuck Hagel was fired as Defense Secretary. The story is he was an outsider, couldn’t get past the inner circle of Obama advisers. And who are those people?<\/p>\n
Valerie Jarrett, of course. And Denis McDonough. He’s from Stillwater, went to St. John’s University, and now runs the country.<\/p>\n
The White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to speak before the president’s announcement, said McDonough has played a key role in all of Obama’s major national security decisions in recent years, including the end of the war in Iraq, winding down the war in Afghanistan, responses to natural disasters in Haiti and Japan and repeal of the military’s ban on openly gay service members.<\/p>\n
Minnesotans should not wait until he’s purged, we should start distancing ourselves from him now. Preemptive repudiation. <\/p>\n
