Obama: Hagel is 'the leader that our troops deserve'

Obama: Hagel is 'the leader that our troops deserve': "President Obama urged a divided Senate Monday to quickly confirm two new members of his national security team, though Republicans might not cooperate when it comes to Defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel.

"Chuck Hagel is the leader that our troops deserve," Obama said in a White House East Room ceremony, praising him for his service in Vietnam, his business career, and his two terms as senator -- a Republican senator -- from Nebraska."
