Time's Joe Klein: Obama Has Better Relationship With Military Than Bush Did
NewsBusters ^ | 5/29/11 | Noel Sheppard

Posted on 05/29/2011 10:50:25 AM PDT by Nachum

Time magazine's Joe Klein this weekend claimed President Obama has a better relationship with the military than George W. Bush did when he was Commander-in-Chief. Such hypocritically was said on "The Chris Matthews Show" just moments before Klein noted that the military were "very much opposed" to attacking Libya (snip) JOE KLEIN, TIME MAGAZINE: The other thing is there’s still tension between [President Obama] and Petraeus about what exactly, how exactly to close out Afghanistan. I'd say the relationship is pretty good, very, better than it was with Bush

Put 50,000 military in a stadium. Put Bush in one end zone, obama in the other. Then announce, "Please come down and meet the President."

I don't have to tell you what would happen.

Even in the media, if you tell a lie often enough, you can even begin to believe it yourself. Beyond this, words simply fail me for an explanation.

I’m a veteran and live in a Navy town and I almost threw up when I read the title of this thread, but then I read down a bit and noticed that the article is talking about the relationship between Obama and the uniformed politicians (who are still referred to by the old term, General). Makes sense now.

“I don’t think it is better... But I don’t think it’s worse.
The military does it’s job no matter who is President.”

That may be changing in the not-too-distant future.

See this article:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/may/28/navy-too-politically-correct-for-old-salts/

Serious question:
What is the _new_ PC-military’s “job” actually going to be?

Just askin’....

Klein has got to be the stupidest “journalist” out there today. Just one more apple-polishing, brown-nosing little man trying to hang onto the coat tails of the “elite”. I'm embarrassed for him.

If you haven’t seen this, do yourself a favor and watch it. The idiot who wrote this needs to be inundated with this video:

It's true, provided that it's 1939 and this is Germany.

The military does it’s job no matter who is President.

I agree that the Military does it's job inspite of who's CIC. But, I don't believe that the Military is personally supportive of one with a history of Anti-Military actions and statements.

Unlike Liberal Drones, the Military is comprised of mostly very smart people who see things from a very realistic perspective. They know who has/had their backs.
