WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says Gen. Stanley McChrystal showed "poor judgment" in a magazine story in which the Afghanistan war commander and his aides disparaged the president and other members of the administration.
Asked whether he would fire McChrystal, Obama said he planned to talk McChrystal face-to-face before making any decision.

Could someone point me to the quotes from McC?
Voting for Bozo showed extremely poor judgement.
Pray for America and Our Troops
“Obama says...”
Hmmm...let’s see...the words of a four star general, with proven bravery and track record and a lifetime of service to his Country...
versus...
..the words of a punkass chump communist POS community organizer...
Yeah...in the REAL world, we know whose words matter.
What the HELL happened to my country...?
Obama...the “Chump-In-Charge”. What a pathetic sick joke.
IIRC, he was also the one called to a meeting on a tarmac in Copenhagen while Obama was dealing with getting the iportant and vital strategic decision regarding the Olympics for chicago...
Once he’s gone, I can’t imagine he won’t be - I hope he goes all McChristal all the time on TV.
This issue reminds me of the movie “Gladiator”. Here we have a general who has served his country through four wars and is a hero to his men. On the other side we have an unaccomplished manchild who know nothing about leading the country. To make up for his “inexperience” he attempts to buy the peoples affection by buying them off with “bread and circuses”.
Frankly, I have no respect for anyone who can’t abide by their oath. Nor any sympathy. The articles of the UCMJ aren’t really a secret, and someone in his position should know better. If Obama weren’t so scared of seeming as anti-military as he really is, this general would be courtmartialed and demoted.
How many here would have approved of a general who granted an interview to Rolling Stone bashing the Bush administration while we were at war? I bet the word “treason” would even have been rolled out for such an occasion.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike Obama - but if we start fostering and promoting a military that doesn’t have to follow orders, or is allowed to besmirch their commanders, or can just pick and choose what orders they can follow, where does that road lead?
This isn’t a movie. McC was STUPID!
He COULD have resigned over principle - but he didn’t. Instead, he set himself up so that either A) he has to suck Obama’s you know what because Obama graciously allowed him to stay on the job, or B) resign for a big mouth - not in protest of Obama’s handling of the war.
What an IDIOT!
Does this mean the general has to put money in an escrow account?
The remarks by Gen. Stanley McChrystal is just a symptom of a larger issue or problem.
There are huge numbers of military people (no doubt the majority) who have no respect for “their” dear “demander-in-chief”. McChrystal has no doubt felt or heard the gripes from his lower ranks and is no doubt expressing the general disgust for Obama.
McChrystal will be chastised or asked to resign or will be re-assigned. But, the underlying issue of Obama versus the people of the military will remain. It must be hell having to follow orders from someone those people disrespect or hate.
The stupid idiotic media doesn't give a rat's a$$ about anything other than saving Zero's precious hide.
Damn these people and this administration.
and what kind of judgment was 0bama using when he committed his past drug felonies?
“I think he knew exactly what would happen. I think he wanted to get fired. I’ll bet he wrote his resignation letter a week ago. Prolly popped it out of his briefcase when Obama demanded he resign.”
Yep.
Obama just got completely tooled. There would have been no play of the article if Obama had no comment.
Now, the soft middle of the USA knows Obama is an idiot.
OOOOOOO...PUNCH!! Right on the kisser! Another one bites the dust....under the bus for you fella!!I tell ya the JOKER got some nerve!
Or letting Air Force One buzz NYC.
Or not supporting the Iranian uprising.
Bad Judgment??? Started with His mommy dearest and Unprotected sex with a third world Communist scumbag!
Nope, telling the truth about the person making poor judgement is bad according to dear leader.
Obama wants us to fail in the War on Terror. He thinks appeasing Muslims is more important then security. Maybe the Obamazombie crowd will wake up after the next attack on American soil by the terrorists Obama refuses to capture.
Obama doesn’t know the front end of an M-4 from a hole in the head.
And when it comes to “poor judgement”, 0bama has no equal.
