Time's Joe Klein: Obama Has Better Relationship With Military Than Bush Did

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

When Beltway pukes like Klein talk about "the military," they don't mean what we would mean. They mean a couple of disgruntled perfumed princes at the Pentagon who never got their bird or their star despite sucking up to everyone in sight.

We would most likely mean fighting men. Media whores like Klein wouldn't know what those are or where to find them if they wanted to.

“Joe, are you as stupid as you sound?”

Only Friedman of the NY Slimes is dumber.

Joe will say anything, won't he?

Show me the pics. The ones I have seen are like night and day.

W was loved by military. Zero is despised by 80% of the troops, worse than when Slick Willie was in office. It was just contempt then, but it is loathing now. Except for the likes of “Weasely Clark”.

Talk to the Military when they can speak. 80% hate his guts.

I wonder what kind of dope Klein has been smoking?

Maybe he meant among blacks. Blacks voted for BO because of his skin color, maybe they prefer him as CIC, because of his skin color.”Content of character” has long since gone out the door.

I would like to ask Mr.Klein one question:When obama was elected, according to Mr. Klien's counterparts, obama was going to turn the Earth into a paradise that would male the Garden of Eden a slum by comparison. No war, no unemployment, even the muslims would stop killing each other and cutting off people's heads. The muslims and Jews would be best friends. Why has this not happened yet?

And since, in the eyes of the media, obama is more perfect than Almighty God Himself,is it any wonder that the military prefer obama over President Bush and is it no marvel that obama is more popular omong the military trhan President Bush.

Good old Joke Line at it again.

Let's let the pics speak for themselves ...

Read the faces of these Marines in the last pic and you'll see everything you need to know about how the troops view Obama.

Isn’t Klein the guy that lied about his writing that fictional tribute book about Bill Clinton. He denied it until it was proven otherwise and then he owned up to it. Typical dirtbag Democrat synchophant posing as a unbiased journalist.

In that first pic, I have to say that that is the cutest two-headed girl I have ever seen.

[Catsrus]

This is like a “Tale of Two Presidents.”

[ml/nj]

Of course he's right. Just watch videos of either speaking to a military audience. When Obama speaks he gets the somber respect due the Commander in-chief. When Bush speaks everyone's acting like it's Halloween or something, cheering, smiling, clapping; just so disrespectful.

I've been threatened with expulsion for quoting Richard Pryor before so....... “_______, PLEASE!”

[rawhide]

This is one of the most stupid asinine remarks ever, by an obamma kool-aid drinker, that I’ve ever heard!

When I see articles like this, I tend to think it is an attempt by the left to rewrite history. Regardless of what the truth of the moment is, if they are able to publish enough of their untruths, in the future, those articles will be extant to bolster their view of history. As Michelle said, "We're going to have to change our history."
