David Petraeus will not be sabotaged by this President. America knows what they have in David Petraeus. The other thing is that the President is running out of choices and must keep Petraeus. I figured that Petraeus would not have accepted the job unless he got exactly what he wanted. He’s a warrior and wouldn’t have accepted less. He knew he had Obama by the short hairs and Obama knows it also. If Obama ever, EVER, fires this general, he’s done and may be forced out of office.
I truly hope not. But the Democrats and the MSM hate Gen. Petraeus. They will not say anything right now, they do not want to detract from Obama’s “brilliant” decision. But overtime they will undermine him and try to destroy his career and reputation. The administration people who were undermining Gen. McChrystal will also work to undermine Gen. Petreaus.
By the way, I though the theatrics of how McChrystal was treated was disgusting. First, he had to come to the White House without knowing what was going on and be photographed and harassed by reporters who had obviously been briefed by The White House. Then Obama making a point of meeting with him for only a few minutes to humiliate him and then the White House staff told reporters how forceful Obama was in firing him and how great a Commander in Chief he was.
It made me want to throw up. McChrystal served his country well for years in Iraq. He should have been treated with respect and not humiliated just to make Obama seem presidential.
