If he is our president, then why doesn’t he act like it?
Barack Obama doesn't like American people.
Exactly my point
“In confiding to Rolling Stone their unflattering opinions of the military acumen of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, National Security Adviser Gen. James Jones, Dick Holbrooke and Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, Gen. Stanley McChrystal and his staff were guilty of colossal stupidity.”
But that wasn’t why McChrystal was fired. The Rolling Stone article, subtitled ‘The Wimps in the White House’, hit too close to home and reinforced the story line that Obama is uninterested in solving problems and incompetent (called him a ‘disengaged dilletante’) as also demonstrated by Obama’s reaction to the gulf oil spill. The White House simply couldn’t have two stories running at the same time about Obama’s complete lack of leadership skills.
He’s a red diaper doper baby by birth. Raised on the knee of a Communist parental proxy. Grew up aboard and went to school to hang with the Marxist professors and those against “the system”.
He came into office with a chip on his shoulder, not just to erradicate whatever Bush had done but to systematically shift this country away from our very foundation. He trash talked ALL presidents who came before him. ON FOREIGN SOIL. And he has the gaul to be upset about a General. Americans are upset with his own actions as “Commander in Chief”. He has disrespected the office, the title, and this nation.
But I wouldn’t expect anything less of a red diaper doper baby who never grew out of it.
Interesting. History is replete with false kings (usurpers), fake Popes, Multiple Popes, Bishops, etc.
After the phony is gone, the deal is you change and recall whatever is practical, but mainly just soldier on. Of course, Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen, and thus ineligible to run for, never mind hold the office of POTUS,
However, he is the sitting, DE FACTO POTUS. He was put there by The Electoral College, The President of The Senate, The Governors of 50 states who allowed him on the ballot, and finally, he won the popular vote. He was also sworn in by the Chief Justice, Twice.
As the sitting President, de facto, or de jure, he can ONLY Be removed by Impeachment in The House and Conviction in The Senate, there by a 2/3 vote. Of course, he could resign. That ain't gonna happen.
IMHO, we should devote the bandwidth to making sure we get real Republicans with spines into office in 2010 and they need
A Program
A Plan
A Leader
And a Clue
that unless they act decisively, the Republic is on its way down for a long count.
People never realize that in order to rise in the ranks, you have to actually kill people and figure out more efficient ways of doing it. To say the least about strategy. Instead, they see our troops as a bunch of brainless jocks.
Bingo! You said it
Wonder if this author ever cracked a history book. Patton WAS relieved during combat operations.
True, Patton was venting on a private soldier and was physical about it. But all in all it was a minor incident compared to all that was going on at the time. Make no mistake Patton set himself up by being a constant thorn in Eisenhower's side. Patton and his staff constantly were venting opinions and prejudices against high command.
Gen. David Petraeus:
Bush’s fault!!!
Oh - Wait...
If failure of the plan costs a bunch of American soldiers' lives, would you see a downside then?
McChrystal was no MacArthur. Hell, the guy voted for Obama.
bump
Soldier’s lives lost are most certainly a downside but my comment was more in the political realm that was the context of the article. Thanks for allowing me to provide that clarification.
Thanks, indeed for the clarification. I doubted you were being callous, but sometimes I get moody....
