Michael Hastings' new book, The Operators, jabs at what could be a vulnerable spot for the Obama Administration, the president's relationship with the troops.
The book describes a visit to Baghdad:
After the talk, out of earshot from the soldiers and diplomats, he starts to complain. He starts to act very un-Obamalike, according to a U.S. embassy official who helped organize the trip in Baghdad.
Hes asked to go out to take a few more pictures with soldiers and embassy staffers. Hes asked to sign copies of his book. He didnt want to take pictures with any more soldiers; he was complaining about it, a State Department official tells me. Look, I was excited to meet him. I wanted to like him. Lets just say the scales fell from my eyes after I did. These are people over here whove been fighting the war, or working every day for the war effort, and he didnt want to take f---ing pictures with them?"
Yeah, I agree he's all those things and more. I chose my words poorly. I guess I meant in terms of being a CiC, he's not about being for the troops--he's just out for himself.
we need to stand up!!!!!! Maybe we should all vote.
Obama is just playing the communist leftist clown and has surrounded himself with useful leftist idiots.
You forgot the part about RADICAL MUSLIM. Or don't you realize that is WHY Obama is trying to destroy America?
Yes, RADICAL MUSLIM trying to destroy America.
Sorry, I forgot to include that in my description.
Duly noted.
It doesn’t surprise me that this Kenyan, Moo-slim, Marxist doesn’t like the US Military, we don’t like him. I wouldn’t piss on him if his eyes were on fire.
I’m shocked there are actually those in our military who would want a picture taken with this President.
