Obama stares down Israel Lobby in Hagel nomination

If recent statements by Senator McCain are any indication, it looks like Chuck Hagel is in as Secretary of Defence.

This is a good-news story. If the Oracle of Nairobi is going to roll up his sleeves and take on the lobbyists, the Israel Lobby is a good start.

Maybe he can carry on by staring down the Health Insurance Lobby and introduce REAL health care reform.

Putting a stop to blowing up mountains all over Appalachia would mean he has to take on the coal lobby.

And this criminally insane practice of pumping poisons into the earth to release gas and oil means he'll have to take on the frackers lobby.

Some serious regulation of the banksters means he'll have to take on the Wall Street lobbyists.

This could be a busy term for Obama...

But I'm not holding my breath.
