Shut Up.

President Obama has nominated James Clapper as the replacement for Dennis Blair who resigned under fire as National Director of Intelligence. This is a very important job responsible for coordinating anti terror activities and to work through the amazing bureaucracy of our various intellignece services. This man's temperment according to our bi partisan Sectretary of Defense Gates is right for the job. He was confirmed by the Senate in his current position and has a lifelong resume of knowledge and experience in matters relevant to this new job. The President is best suited to get recommendations from members of the Intelligence community as he is closer to what is happening in intelligence than any other elected official. So before one question is asked at a confirmation hearing, we have the usual members of Congress from both parties articulating objections....we need a civilian....his personality is wrong.....he won't be forceful enough.....he this, he that. I believe in checks and balances, but Congress needs to shut up. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
