Robert Gibbs: Hagel wasn’t very good at that hearing, was he?
Gibbs, a close advisor to President Obama, said during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet The Press” that Hagel’s performance was “disconcerting.”
“The disconcerting thing for anybody that watched it is he seemed unimpressive and unprepared on the questions that quite frankly he knew was coming,” Gibbs said.
Even as he criticized Hagel’s performance, however, Gibbs said pointed questions asked by GOP senators, including Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) like were “totally superfluous.”

The WH conducted three coaching sessions with him. Maybe, Gibbs, he just isn’t very bright.

Menedez’s successor in the House, Rep. Albio Sires (D-NJ), believes that he may be the victim of a “Cuban conspiracy.”
Cuban birther?
