Obama nominates first female West Point dean

[fandandy 3,311]

Why can't he just be normal? 216 year history and one thing has remained consistent, ... until Obama. This after he appoints the first openly gay man to head the Army. He goes out of his way to be different. It's annoying.

I voted for hope and change and so we're getting it.

Good to see they're promoting from within, and everyone is saying the right things... be curious to hear what's being said behind the scenes.

8 months until we get a new clown. I could use the change, this guy is played out. Ooh, look what Obama did. He's so different.

Meh, dean of a college, seems like a good place to make a sexually politically correct appointment.

[mmmmm...beer 691]

What a moron. Stop focking up the military you fockstick.

I'm one of the few who like Obummer but this is a pure political move. It's only going to get worse the closer he gets to leaving office. His presidential pardons are going to be scary.

[Mungwater 588]

Crazy thing is as long as I've been around West Point and their grads, since high school (I was accepted to the USMAPS program)..

 

I've never heard the position called "dean", it's always been superintendent.

 

Guess times and titles change

Will this limit our ability against ISIS?

[hoytdwow 202]

This is a problem why, now?

[Mungwater 588]

I just read the article, I was mistaken, she isn't the supe, but I fail to see the big deal.

 

Good for them that women weren't even admitted until 40 years or so ago.

Obummer trolling the haters

That's the problem skippy.

[peenie 1,690]

Omg, isn't it an administrative position?? Gee whiz, it's not like she's on the field and has to lead the cadets to battle.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,588]

If you keep appointing white males to every position, at some point you end up with unqualified people in those positions( The Bush administration) The same goes for if you keep appointing people with the goal to achieve diversity.

so you're the dumba$$!

[kutulu 1,542]

Really shouldn't the next president be nominating someone for this position?

Meaningless change. The rich got richer and the poor got poorer on his watch. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

the Naval Academy's new slogan...Welcome to a great place to try social experiments?

 

hopefully shes just not a feminist

I was a single issue voter in 2008: I wanted a president who opposed the Iraq war and would put an end to the Iraq war. I got what I wanted.

Now we give out awards for not doing stupid things. Great. My kid didnt pick her nose today. Time for a treat! PS- He had to end the war. And he voted to fund it when he was a senator.

If it was so obvious in 2008 the GOP candidate wouldn't have opposed the withdrawal, said we can stay another 100 years for all he cares and angled for another war in Iran.

There hasn't been a withdrawal.. Scaled back for sure, but we will probably be back in full force in a year or two.

I'm just spitballing here but we have around 4,500 troops in Iraq right now vs. 150,000 at the peak with I believe another near 100,000 paid mercenaries at peak. And the GOP has spent the past 8 years alternately crediting Bush for developing a plan for withdrawal and criticizing Obummer for withdrawing.

 

Like I said I got what I wanted out of my 2008 vote. A day has never gone by where I thought the alternative would have been better.
