I was right. You're clueless. Tillerson is an energy engineer who has spent 41 years at Exxon, not a lobbying firm.

Uhhh yeah...however, he has no experience in diplomacy on that level (or any level) and his recommendation to Trump came from the hacks and high echelon lobbyists in the oil industry. I have no reason to believe that Trump even knows the guy.

While I really don't care who Trump nominates to any position (his victory, his right to pick), I can clearly see why others have some consternation over the pick.

His nomination came right out of the blue. When was this guy ever mentioned with respect to SoS by anyone? Never until last week. If he is nominated and the Rosneft deal is done, Putin stands to make billions and billions. Guess who called in a favor.

The only truths that came our of the Birther's mouth was his expressing a desire to steal oil and that the election was rigged (for him). There will be a war and that will not even faze the useful idiots that supported this POS.

The Left knows nothing but outrage. First this direction, then that. But always outrage.

Makes you wonder who else Putin has been hacking, doesn't it?
