A story in the WallStreetJournal online edition states Defense Secretary Gates will nominate the current NSA chief for a new position.
New Director for NSA
As the President continues to maintain popularity with the citizenry, will he take the position of Director of the NSA to a moderate, right of center or a progressive pick.
Having him push for a progressive could alter the dynamic and bring forth to the citizenry a true choice on how they want to see the NSA run.
To be sure there will be caterwalling from the Right, but he has at most opportunities deflected their venom and marginalized them as the Party Of No.
This will be a debate I'll eagerly await.
