Barack Obama is scheduled to speak about whether Gen. Stanley McChrystal will keep his position as Afghan commander at 1:30 P.M. EDT.

Obama will be speaking from the Rose Garden.

There have been no leaks as to his decision.

CNN reports McChrystal is meeting with his staff. No word from them as to whether even McChrystal knows.

Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and sent to Gitmo to rot with his muslim buddies. He is such a pussy.

Knowing Obama, it will take him 6 months to decide what to do about McChrystal.

Fox reporting via AP saying Mcchrystal is being RELIEVED of command.

Either way...it’s a HUGE mistake on Obazzama’s part...

LOLOLOL, the Chicago Three Stooges are hard at work with damage control, hey?

I wonder how many times that Barry, Rahm & Baghdad Bob will have to reschedule their press conference on their utter debacle.

This is really embarressing.

Pathetic losers!

No demotion. He’ll be wearing two hats like a player/manager. Maybe he’ll get a fifth star in return.

Fox news reports also that the General is out. So much supporting our troops by this President. Yes, maybe the General said some pretty damming things, but this President doesn’t have the experience or smarts to fire a top General.
