As long as Obama is considering Republicans in his administration, how about John McCain

[elocs]

for Secretary of the Navy. It would be a gracious move to allow him to finish out his career as a Navy man, but there is also a big upside for Democrats: Governor Janet Napolitano of Arizona would then name a Democrat to fill McCain's seat (unless she gets named AG). But naming Lugar of Indiana to a cabinet post would be a good move to with that state having a Democratic governor (and probably a more likely choice).

1. What are you, HIGH? nm

[elocs]

6. I would refer you to response #2. I like that one better. n/t

[WritersBlock]

2. I like the way you think, n/t

[Rude Horner]

3. I'd have a hard time considering John McCain for a post

considering McCain basically came out and called Obama a terrorist during the campaign. Nope - If McCain ran a decent campaign I could see it. At this point, I wouldn't even consider him for chief garbage duty at the White House.

[elocs]

5. Ahh, but you are not Obama. Stranger things have happened. n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. Obama never read the Rolling Stone Article or his team

Right?

Did you?

[elocs]

15. I have no idea exactly what Obama has or has not read. Do you? n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. I'm sure they are at least as well read as me

Since the Rolling Stone is a major piece of recognized journalism

But I guess you are not that well read either since you had no comment
on the rolling stone article.

[elocs]

22. You know, what exactly is your problem? I threw out this off the top of my head,

I'm not wed to the idea, but evidently you are bent out of shape by it.

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. Well, the top of the head is nothing I can tip my hat too

But I admire your effort for non-partisanship

He's unstable.... you know that..... then you suggest the Navy?

OK... its late no problem

[Sukie]

4. McCain went too far with the slurs and slander.

He can help President Obama from his job as Senator, but that is it. He crossed too many lines of civility in my book.

[TankLV]

7. Keep your friends close, but your enemies CLOSER...

I like that idea.

But so for, President Obama's decisions has proven impeccable, so I trust his decision on this matter...

It would be somethin, wouldn't it?

and think how it would make that sorry ass barbie doll failin' palin feel!!!

[EFerrari]

8. Isn't there another corrupt @sshole we know that's more qualified?

[elocs]

11. Is there a more qualified candidate who would also hand the Dems a Senate seat? n/t

[EFerrari]

16. Do you honestly believe a Senator would give up his seat

to be in the Cabinet? Isn't that a little unlikely?

[elocs]

23. Yes, I do and I have seen it suggested here at DU before so it is not an original idea of mine. n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

25. And you Know his record on Veterans issues?

and hope that he will change?

[lame54]

10. Listen very carefully....

[Hubert Flottz]

12. I heard that!

LOL

I approve of that message!

[devilgrrl]

13. How about as a greeter at the White House - like at Wal-Mart, he can wear a blue vest too.

:popcorn:

[beac]

14. John McCain for Secretary of Muslim and African-American Outreach and Bigot Re-Education.

That piece of scum has a lot to answer for. He should be forced to spend the rest of his life working to heal the ugliness with which his wretched campaign intentionally poisoned our country.

[Bluebear]

17. Palin for Secretary of the Interior!

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. elocs for information minister.

That would work too!

[arcadian]

20. Besides it being a sucky idea.

Sec of the Navy is a step down from U.S. Senate.

[Swamp Rat]

21. Pass the freedom fries

[busybl]

26. Noooooooooooooooooo

I want never to see his ugly mug again.
