Jones On the Outs With Obama?
Fox News ^ | 06-11-2009 | ak267

Posted on 06/11/2009 9:23:53 PM PDT by ak267

Speculation is growing that Gen. Jim Jones will not last long as President Obama's national security adviser because of the retired Marine general's supposedly poor performance.

Several White House and National Security Council sources told FOX News that the Obama administration is baffled by Jones, who is a longtime friend of Sen. John McCain, the man Obama defeated for the White House. One NSC staff member claimed that Jones is so forgetful that at times he appears to have Alzheimer's disease.

With all of Obama's flip flops and outright lies the Administration must think the American public has Alzheimer's disease.

Well, I suppose I would rather be forgetful by no cause of my own, rather than be like the rest of the vermin, who act irresponsibly & claim they are of sound mind...

A man spends over 40 years wearing the uniform of his country, as his father did and his sons do, and this is how he's treated. Absolutely no class from the little asses in the Obama White House.

If things aren't working out with Jones, he's earned the right to excuse himself from his post with honor and dignity.

Very true. However, he isn't being thrown under the bus just yet. They are leaking stuff like this just in case we get attacked again. If it happens, it will be blamed on Jones, and THEN he will be shown the underside of Hussein's bus.

I thought being forgetful, especially on taxes, was a requirement to be involved with the illegitimate president.

Forgetful, huh? Maybe he’s a bit distracted, thinking about what America used to be, or about how a real President would act, or about why the eff his working for this pretender?

Let me shorten the article for you.

“He’s a McCain supporter....too old to function.....grossly incompetent.”

Is that more clear? Liberals never think beyond a few sentences and usually in a historical vaccum.

At least Obozo has spilled the Beans on his next planned tactical move of discrediting and trashing One More American Hero and Patriot, but this time prematurely:-)
Now, General Jones, an acknowledged Expert on Strategic Warfare, shall muster all forces and Defeat the Forces of Evil with the elements of the Usual OBOZO Surprise Toss Under the ABRAMS TANK eliminated:-O......8-)

It’s more likely that Gen. Jones refuses to drink the Obama Kool-Aid and won’t lick Obama’s shoes like Obama does for his muslim masters.

So Obama’s rabid little commie a rats set out to publicaly degrade his credibility and to destroy his reputation.

Everything with this gang of traitors is political and anyone who puts the country and the constitution before Obama will attacked.

Hey, there's a slogan in there somewhere. "Obama Kool-Aid... even Jim Jones ain't drinkin' anymore."

Your comment above is on target.

Jim Jones was my Company Commander at Camp Pendleton in 1969. He was a fine leader - and he had a lot to do with my becoming an officer. I watched his career over the next 28 years I was a Marine and even after I retired. General Jones has never performed poorly in his life. If there’s a problem brewing, I suspect it’s because the man has integrity, and he’s calling those who don’t have it on Obama’s staff. JMHO.

Semper Fi,

All generals are not good.
If Gen. Jim Jones is a good friend of Juan Mclame he has a vote of NO confidence from this Reagan Conservative.

Jones needs a teleprompter. Works for 'O'.

Good one! Zero actually does remind me of dementia patients. He simply cannot string a sentence together unless he is reading it. And he contradicts himself, such as the campaign statement about mirandizing terrorists. So the narcissist and co. need to be careful projecting their own defects onto the general.

I’m surprised the general has any wits at all left. He is likely dealing with a lot of cognitive dissonance watching this inexperienced know-nothing at the helm.

The article goes on to show that the oh-so-cool administration thinks the old geezers who actually use CELL PHONES or LAND LINES (heaven forbid!) are from the Paleolithic era. PLEEEZE! Texting is overrated. It takes far less time sometimes to just CALL a person! Tech savvy does not equal wisdom or communicative skills.

I’ll bet it’s really because Jones doesn’t support open homosexuality in the ranks.
