White House: 'Grave concern' on delayed nominees
Associated Press – 1 hr 22 mins ago- Associated Press/J. Scott Applewhite, File - FILE - In this Jan. 31, 2013, file photo, Republican Chuck Hagel, President Obama's choice for Defense Secretary, testifies before the Senate Armed Services Committee
WASHINGTON (AP) — The new White House chief of staff says there's "a grave concern" about delays in assembling President Barack Obama's second-term national security team.
Senate Republicans have stalled the nominations of Chuck Hagel to be defense secretary and John Brennan to be CIA director.
GOP lawmakers want more answers about the White House's handling of the Sept. 11 attack on a diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya — but Hagel had no role in that crisis.
Obama aide Denis McDonough says Hagel, a Vietnam combat veteran and a former Republican senator, is well-qualified to lead the Pentagon. McDonough says Hagel "has one thing in mind: 'How do we protect the country?'"
As for Brennan, Republicans are demanding more details about Benghazi and about drone strikes against suspected terrorists.

The Republicans on a national level have one goal: gridlock, so that Republican-led states can institute ALEC/NRA Corporate Lobby "model" anti-voter, anti-worker laws and whatever else they want to do.

Delay. Obstruct. Filibuster. Threaten. Play brinksmanship with the nations economy, the debt ceiling, the sequester, etc. but collect a $220,000 salary, first class medical and a huge pension.
