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.

“President Barack Obama says Gen. Stanley McChrystal showed “poor judgment”

Hmmmmm...who appointed him?

[library user]

So telling the truth is “bad judgment” according to the big fat 0 in the oval office.

[kcvl]

Obama shows poor judgment everyday!

Can we fire him or ask for his resignation while we are at it?!

Whmm the general asked for 70,000 men then asked for 50,000 men and what did BO do sent him 30,000 so who showed poor judgment here? If I had been the general I would of resigned when BO would not talk to him and then sent him only 30,000 men.

BO's judgement was so great when the police officer "acted stupidly", before he knew any of the facts of the situtation. Right?

Or when he didn't do sqat with regards to the Gulf oil spill disaster.

ROTFLMAO. Look who is talking. hahahahahah!

The General demonstrated low moral character, poor judgement, and complete stupidity by voting for a known Mooslime, Commie, Chicago thug, doper, who isn’t even a Natural Born Citizen. He doesn’t belong in the military.

[NohSpinZone]

Coming from this administration, that’s a compliment!

[El Gato]

Can we fire him or ask for his resignation while we are at it?!

Or just a certified copy of his original long form birth certificate.

I love it--wasn't it the liberals who kept telling us about, "speaking truth to power," and how, "dissent is patriotic?" Here's a guy who begged for FOUR MONTHS to get more troops in A-stan, and Zero blows him off. But 24 hours after some a-hole Rolling Stone article comes out, he's called on the carpet in DC.

Yeah, Barruh--you sure got your priorities straight, dontcha?

[Col Frank Slade]

The poor judgement was granting an interview with lib Rolling Stone in the first place.

Did he think they wouldn't scream his dissing the One from the mountaintops ?

Obama’s not a real Commander In Chief but he plays one on TV.

"President Barack Obama says Gen. Stanley McChrystal showed "poor judgment"

Did the KING of poor judgment really just judge someone else on poor judgment?? Really???

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

I actually agree with Zero that McChyrstal showed poor judgment.

Why would any senior military officer trust a reporter from Rolling Stone? It was poor judgment to do so. We’ve seen it time and time again, where some liberal reporter convinces someone like a military commander or a conservative politician to give him full and frank access, and then turns around and eviscerates him in print.

Sometimes I wonder if these guys are so convinced of their own awesomeness, that they assume that any reporter can only be convinced of their awesomeness as well, and that they are therefore immune from being savaged by liberal reporters.

Narcissist in Chief can't see his own poor judgment...On every topic he involves himself with.

This guy is no leader.

He either wants to extort some cash or have him flick the fly off his face.

Agreed. But if you read the article, which I did this morning, it was not so much an interview as a very short "imbed" of the RS reporter. The thing drips leftist claptrap.

“Did he think they wouldn't scream his dissing the One from the mountaintops ?”

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.

This aint over.
