Selective reporting is FAKE NEWS and is designed to spin the story at the whim of the editors.

Actually he was appointed by bush

Maybe you should try using bigger, bolder, redder letters next time? Because some people didn't seem to notice.

He might very well be a boot licking Obama lover, but...

Actually he was appointed by Bush!

WTH?

You expect to sit there and make inquiries all through a thread, expecting reports from other FReepers? If you want to go “click free” then do so, stay ignorant, but why should we carry your weight?

We do our own work around here, if we expect to participate.
Get off the dime. Sheeesh!

According to his ribbon rack, 15 years of war, and his only overseas trip was an annual training someplace.

My brother-in-law Colonel Bob has a huge ribbon rack. We were over at his house as he was getting ready for some sort of formal occasion... and his daughter started asking about all those ribbons. He started, “ Well this one is for changing my socks for 30 days consecutively.” And then went on from there... he had us all rolling on the floor laughing by the time he was through.

Of course he, like so many others these days had multiple overseas deployments. My sister-in-law and our nieces came to live with us during a few of those because she was having health problems. Our niece who asked about his ribbons joined the military a few years later and just got back from a deployment in the Middle East a few months ago.

Implying there’s a dime of difference between the two.

“Islam is a religion of peace”

Who said it, Bush or Obama?

You need someone to read the articles to you? Need someone to tuck you in at night as well?

Definitely agree with you on that point. Strictly an accuracy issue.

He, like all others in his position, ends his term on noon of inauguration day. Trump offered to let him retain his position until the inauguration proceedings was over but he declined.

Makes him a liar when he says he would never plan to leave his post "in the middle of a battle"

He's a publicity whore and part of the fake news of the day.

I don’t like the term “fake news” being used to describe an out right lie. Huge difference.

He was appointed by Bush in 2008 and reappointed by Obama in 2009.

Fake news. To mislead readers and give readers the wrong impression is “fake” same as if the article is a lie.

Best BOL and reality reply of this morning, (in Californicator land):

“He might very well be a boot licking Obama lover, but...
Actually he was appointed by Bush!”

Implying there’s a dime of difference between the two.

“Islam is a religion of peace”

Who said it, Bush or Obama?

If I understand the Presidential Turnover Protocol correctly, all Presidential Appointments end when the new President takes office.

This National Guard General is no different than Obama’s Ambassadors throughout the world or the many Secretaries in the various Cabinets.

WAPO is trying to make Standard Operation Procedure look like Trump is being a nasty person.

WAPO is misbehaving by only reporting one side of the story, which formerly was called propaganda and now is called fake news.

Thanks for the clarification. Doesn't the good general remind you of this general from the movie Mars Attacks? The little Martians should have Make Mars Great Again Stickers on the top of their helmet. Hopefully, this is basically what is going to happen to all of Obama's people in Washington DC and everywhere else for that matter.

I was relieved last night when I heard about the WaPo re-write, because I could have sworn that the story time-stamped 5:23 was very different from the one I first read, and I was questioning not so much my sanity as my reading comprehension.
