Yeah not american, i dont always remember your unique names for things. The defense secretary was engaging in war so minister of war is fine for me (im from a parliamentary context).
Yes I meant Robert Gates which was an insane choice. And my bad i remembered them nominating a republican commerce secretary and that was enough for me to write off Obama (and rightfully so).
I remember (canadian here) in grad school and my class asked if it could be canceled because of the inauguration and I stood up and said, no, I am paying for this class. My peers sneered but I dont care. I had the right hunch. Obama was a neoliberal warmaker. To be fair, even Obama doesnt understand why he got the novel peace prize (he has admitted it multiple times). Ill give him that!
Obama appointed bush’s minister of war and economy before inauguration. He was a wolf in sheep’s clothes.
