Obama has Only Spoken with Commander USFOR-A Once

Weekly Standard ^

[merry10]

I think he’s a little busy planning a trip to Denmark to bring the Olympics to Chicago. Our problem is, OUR priorities are misplaced.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

He’s too busy doing talk shows and commercials.

[Tenacious 1]

That is one heck of a post.

How's it feel under that bus, Bama?

A new perspective, huh?

Checked yer poll numbers today?

Better keep working on that UN job for 2012.

How many times has 0bama...
been on vacation?
been on the golf courses?
been on PR tours pushing his socialist schemes?
been out on a date with Michelle?

The Zero doesn’t need to talk to the General. All Generals do is lie, and ask for troops they don’t need. The Zero thinks the General is just like him.

Misfit? Is that the same as "An enemy of my country?"

Misfit sounds to nice a word to describe what this thug is doing to The United States of America.

“Mr. President, as Commander in Chief, how doing you think the War on Terror is progressing?”

“Present!”

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Well, it's not like he'd have much to contribute. I mean, really, what could he offer in the way of experienced dialog? He's a peace-time, domestic policy guy. He was NEVER qualified to be a war-time president — not by any stretch of anyone's imagination. Maybe, just maybe, we could have survived him if economic conditions and the war we're fighting were concurrent events, but there was no way in any alternate universe this man was qualified to lead during an economic crisis AND A WAR.

As to his lobbying for the Olympics — well, THAT'S something he's qualified to do. I don't mean this as a denigration of his race, but his qualifications. He looks the part of Commander in Chief, he speaks the lines beautifully, he has a “presence,” in fact, he's directly out of Central Casting for the part. Unfortunately, he's a Potemkin President. Our Joint Chiefs are probably better off without his input.

“...we could have survived him if economic conditions and the war we’re fighting were concurrent events,...”.

Should have been, “...we could have survived him if economic conditions and the war we’re fighting WEREN’T concurrent events,...”.

Colonel, USAFR

[Irish Eyes]

Have disagreed with you before on a few political issues BUT your pictures are amazing, thank you.

"I wonder how his statement will affect his career? BHO isn’t one to take lightly to being publicly embarrassed."

I'm guessing McChrystal would rather take an early retirement than be forced to fight on terms he deems ill-advised.

[jveritas]

Obama is a coward who does not want to make any tough decision on any tough issue and hence he will avoid talking to the commander of our troops in Afghanistan as much as he can. The man has zero leadership and a coward, unfortunately our enemies also know this fact and they are going to cause a lot of harm because of this man.

PS: A lot of the people who will read the title of the article would not know what is USFOR-A and they better make simple headlines such as US Forces in Afgahistan.

Thanks. Yeah, I kinda figured Bush would have had a presidential interest in how things were going in-theater.

This is just another example of Obama not understanding the job. God help us....

[ridesthemiles]

Hey he’s too busy!”

Yeah- today he is going to Denmark to try and get the 2016 Olympics into Chicago!!

[OrioleFan]

He probably told SEIU to beat up the flag seller in St Louis. Happened the next day after Obama called out the dogs.

a picture is worth a thousand words - well said
