*sigh* back at ya, drama queen.

I did read the RS article, as a matter of fact.. I didn’t see it there. I didn’t say I saw it there. I saw it in other news stories today-more than once. Don’t know if it’s true or not, but I did see it in print.

Say pretty please....

Oh, what the hell:

Actually, it does say it in the RS article-page 1

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/17390/119236?RS_show_page=0

...”Even though he had voted for Obama, McChrystal and his new commander in chief failed from the outset to connect. The general first encountered Obama a week after he took office...”

I didn’t make note of it, especially, when I read the RS article, because I’d already seen it in several articles referencing the Rolling Stone piece, like these, for three:

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/68229

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100622/ap_on_en_ot/us_mcchrystal_enemies

Now if you want me to get hold of the General and get it from him personally-no can do, I’m headed to dinner

; )

Did 0bama say he acted “stupidly” too?
I think America showed poor judgment in electing this imposter.

ya know what is funny? this “cabinet meeting” photo op crap. Hussein doesn’t give a crap about what his cabinet thinks...he gets them together once a quarter to make it LOOK like he is listening...

his entire administration is a farce.

why any sane person thinks this guy is a true leader is beyond comprehension.

In the article Hasting makes a statement....McChrystal voted for Obama. That's it.

If someone, lets say this Hastings guy wrote an article and said Mac from Cleveland voted for Obama, I should believe him?

Hope you had a lovely dinner and thanks for your replies.

Have you read ROLLING STONE recently?

They are the one that is doing ALL of the investigative journalism into Goldman Sachs, the perennial Bubble Machine of the USA.

Are you aware that RS was embedded with the General for 30 DAYS --- thirty days????

WHO planned that?

***"Apparently the reporter was given access to McChrystal for 30 days. IIRC that is unprecedented.***

>>>>> "According to a post at BLACKFIVE, the reporter was originally only supposed to be there for 2 days but the Icelandic volcano eruption extended his visit for a few more weeks." <<<<<

I know how McCrystal feels. I remember calling a friend absolutely ecstatic when I was fired from a job I hated.

As much as I am diametricly opposed to Obama, It does not matter if you work at mcdonalds or the Pentagon. If you are insubordinate and talk shiite about your boss you will get fired.
