Did Obama reap what he sowed with McChrystal?

Remember: Obama thinks he’s a combination of Kennedy and Lincoln. Lincoln had a cabinet and various other positions allegedly filled with rivals; even people from the enemy political party (democrat). Obama thinks he’s duplicating that, and in doing so, it’s showing how great a “uniter” he is, highlighting his uncanny management skills, and, of course, spotlighting his wisdom. I fully agree that this whole, distracting debacle is the direct result of Obama’s chronic mismanagement of every situation he puts his dirty hands on, ranging from the economy, to disaster management, to the War on Terror.

Obama is not a leader, and never has been; nor does he have the capability of being one. Don’t think for one second that the derision from Team America isn’t echoed all across the armed forces community. Now, the Navy and Air Farce are, traditionally, rife with liberals (prime examples of what the Navy brings us is McCain and Ventura), but even those softies are probably starting to seriously regret this farce of a CINC they’re forced to serve under. The Marines can be pretty liberal, too, but tend more toward Conservative or, at least, libertarian. McChrystal is not a Conservative, that I know; but being a military man, I wouldn’t have expected him to have much respect for a man that embodies the worst aspects of Carter and Clinton. Only a tyrannical, thin-skinned dictator like Obama could possibly think that he’s a beloved figure in the Department of Defense. Take a look at the footage depicting the difference of reception between President Bush and Obama, when addressing the armed forces:

No, Obama is not a Lincoln. His cabinet is filled with dissenting back-biting infighters specifically because he’s too stupid and inexperienced to know who to pick. He surrounds himself with the anti-American, Bill of Rights hating ideologues like himself, who, also like himself, can’t see past their own noses, and just help him make bad choices. Quite frankly, Obama couldn’t handle the pressures Lincoln did: with what little he does acknowledge, it’s enough to drive him out to the golf courses and basketball courts every day, for seemingly most of the day.

Pathetic.

I hate that our (U.S.A.)military looks as inept as the rest of the government. Although I know that there are disagreements in every organization, I thought that the military was too disciplined and mature to let it spill over in the press. I know it has happened in the past but this seems so unprofessional.

You’re full of sh-t for even saying that. Broad-brushing the United States’ armed forces for a handful of incidents that you’d be hard-pressed to find latter-day duplications of, is asinine and thoroughly insulting. As a Veteran, I find it completely stupid and vapid, and it confirms to me that you’ve not only never worn a uniform, but couldn’t wear one, even if it just said: “den mother”.

Yes, what General McChrystal did was wrong, and don’t get me wrong: I am no McChrystal booster. He voted for Obama, and I’m not too fond of the O-Bots. However, one place the Army (Marines/Navy, Air Farce) enjoys freedom of speech is behind closed-doors. His primary sin was allowing a civilian to hear this, knowing full-well he’d make it public. Civilians, for the most part, are beneath contempt and untrustworthy; especially democrats and reporters, let alone democratic reporters. However, using this as an excuse to denounce the forces as looking “as inept as the rest of the government” is utter bullcrap, and you should be ashamed of yourself; whether you will, I seriously doubt. Democrat-lover that he is, he is still managing a situation just as difficult, and much deadlier, than what Obama’s messing up. Obama can claim he’s sending people into harm’s way, but it’s not him doing it: it’s the commissioned, non-commissioned officers and warranted officers. They really give the orders, and in many cases, even have to be the ones to go out and face death. McChrystal is working in a difficult theater of war, with an intentionally difficult, naturally incompetent, inherently inept, intrinsically ignorant and chronically uncooperative so-called CINC. If you’re going to criticize someone, try thinking, first, before you write something stupid, which only ends up criticizing yourself. McChrystal and Team America deserve criticism for being foolish enough to allow things that should never have been allowed out from behind closed-doors to be spoken in front of the lowest form of invertebrate life: the civilian, leftist reporter. Obama deserves harsh criticism for his absolute and utter failure as a leader and military CINC. As Mark Levin says, ‘everything he touches turns to crap’. Finally, you deserve criticism for casting aspersions on military discipline and maturity (something I don’t know that you could measure up to and successfully participate in) for the actions of a few people. Quite frankly, your statement was about as stupid as if I decided to make a blanket statement decrying how stupid and ignorant women are, based on your brainless smear against the armed forces.
