33. Just Chill

I think everybody needs to chill a little bit and let this thing blow over.Mrs.Hillary Clinton has clearly said that she will continue in her post and serve as SoS till a successor is identified and confirmed.No timelines are proposed here and in any case there will be no nomination/confirmation hearing till after the Presidential Inauguration in late January and after the new Senate convenes with a larger Democratic majority. I feel it is going to be tough for the GOP to keep the drumbeat going for that long. Especially since there is a 6 week recess coming up. Also the secretary of Defense post is not even available.Sec.Panetta is barely 16 months into his term and although would like to get back to his Institute in CA he has mentioned no timeline to step down and in fact is working on troop levels fr 2014. Let everybody howl around for a while till they get it out of their system.Even after all these rhetoric a majority of Americans see no deliberate attempt to mislead the public on this issue from the Administration
