“The McChrystal report is forcing Obama to make a decision — carry on or change course — and thus already has helped brand the war as Obama’s, a notion that was fed last week when PBS aired a Frontline show called “Obama’s War”.”

McChrystal was surely aware of this, he knew that the WH was dithering due to the mixed signals he was receiving and he knew the dangerous consequences that this portended for his soldiers. He needed resolve from the WH and he knew how to force it to happen, one way or another.

Brilliant.

We are, of course, familiar with transfers of power; they are a much-studied aspect of the American presidency. But the transfer of burden is far less well-examined and is perhaps far more illuminating about the nature and character of a president.

Interesting point.

Obama is a narcissist who can't stand the thought of being held accountable for his decisions. He'd rather take pot shots at his predecessor and blame the other party.

Speaking of blame, I wouldn't be suprised to see him have a Captain Queeg moment (a la Humphrey Bogart in the Caine Mutiny).

If not before, it should have happened when he appointed Geithner.

I have never seen such a bunch of misfits, conmen, criminals, thugs, communists, and weirdos in the White House. I thought Clinton was bad, but this guy is ten times worse.
