This whole episode makes a nice metaphor for the entire Obama presidency. The President, out of courtesy, or Moderate Heroism, or whatever, deliberately goes out of his way to meet the GOP halfway by choosing one of their own. Rather than accepting the gesture, the GOP whips itself into a non sequitor frenzy and stonewalls. The President retreats. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

There are countless qualified likable people who share Obama's views on foreign policy. Almost all are Dems, but he chose Hagel. He was obviously trying to make a point in choosing a Republican.
