Correcting and expanding previous quote from Hagel on his discussion with Pres Obama about being DefSec:

"I didn't try to sell him on the job that I could do it. In fact, when he asked me about why am I qualified, or why would I be uniquely qualified, I said, "I'm not." There are a lot of qualified Americans who could do this job. I don't think a lot of them in the sense of they're out there everywhere. I think there are some qualifications for this job, but I'm not the only one."
