OK then! What about Obama?
1. Bows to a Saudi king.
2. Apologizes for America everywhere he goes.
3. Blames everything on George Bush.
4. Unable to show respect during the playing of the National Anthem.
5. Can spend 13 Trillion with nothing to show for it.
6. Raised a Muslim, attends an Anti-American church, gets discovered, and tries to play it down.
7. Commander in Chief but requires months to make a decision about troops and never served in the military.
8. Oh! He wants to give amnesty to all the illegal aliens by executive order.
9. Maintains close relationships with known home grown terrorist then allows the DHS to refer to returning veterans as terrorist.
10. Practices bombing runs with Air Force One over New York City. However, he alleges that he had no knowledge of it. I guess he allows joy rides to be taken in his airborne command post.
If the shoe fits….. Obama was within his rights to do what he did and McChrystal was in the wrong to let this happen. Yet, I’ll make my own conclusion.
General McChrystal sacrificed his position and his career to expose Obama for what he really is as Commander in Chief. He did it tactfully and responded with an apology to the Office of President. But the point was presented. I wouldn’t hesitate a second to serve under McChrystal and would't fear a family member serving either!
Gen. David Petraeus will do a good job.
Weigh-in KK.

I would suggest Obama should not have fired Gem Mc. because he is the general that wrote the "book" and is the acknowledged expert on counter-insurgency doctrine, which is the current battle plan in Afganistan. Gen Mc was Obama's hand picked general. I think a public slap and stern warning along with the firing of several of Gem Mc's loud mouths staff was what the President should have done.
The really important question is this. Before Obama, the last time a war time commander was fired was MacArthur by Truman in Korea. Now our current president has fired two commanders in less than two years. Remember the commander prior to Gen Mc was fired and sent home by Obama. Why? This hasn't been done since Lincoln in the Civil War. Is the underlying problem the military commanders or is it Obama?
Obviously I don't have the inside information to truly know. But the old saying is "if there is smoke, there is fire somewhere."
I like the comment that I read yesterday that said
"This community organizer isnt even worthy of polishing this 4 star generals brass".
Electing this mongrel was such an excellent idea.
Obama/Waller, two mistakes that need correction.
Neither are too swift.
How long has it been now? How much do they make? For a small buggy town? Lets get on this........... O wait.. We cant.... Admin has total authority......... Tail chase.....
