WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says Gen. Stanley McChrystal showed "poor judgment" in a magazine story in which the Afghanistan war commander and his aides disparaged the president and other members of the administration.
Asked whether he would fire McChrystal, Obama said he planned to talk McChrystal face-to-face before making any decision.

“President Barack Obama says Gen. Stanley McChrystal showed “poor judgment”
Hmmmmm...who appointed him?
So telling the truth is “bad judgment” according to the big fat 0 in the oval office.
Can we fire him or ask for his resignation while we are at it?!
Or when he didn't do sqat with regards to the Gulf oil spill disaster.
ROTFLMAO. Look who is talking. hahahahahah!
The General demonstrated low moral character, poor judgement, and complete stupidity by voting for a known Mooslime, Commie, Chicago thug, doper, who isn’t even a Natural Born Citizen. He doesn’t belong in the military.
Coming from this administration, that’s a compliment!
Or just a certified copy of his original long form birth certificate.
Did he think they wouldn't scream his dissing the One from the mountaintops ?
Did the KING of poor judgment really just judge someone else on poor judgment?? Really???
I actually agree with Zero that McChyrstal showed poor judgment.
Why would any senior military officer trust a reporter from Rolling Stone? It was poor judgment to do so. We’ve seen it time and time again, where some liberal reporter convinces someone like a military commander or a conservative politician to give him full and frank access, and then turns around and eviscerates him in print.
Sometimes I wonder if these guys are so convinced of their own awesomeness, that they assume that any reporter can only be convinced of their awesomeness as well, and that they are therefore immune from being savaged by liberal reporters.
This guy is no leader.
He either wants to extort some cash or have him flick the fly off his face.
Agreed. But if you read the article, which I did this morning, it was not so much an interview as a very short "imbed" of the RS reporter. The thing drips leftist claptrap.
I think he knew exactly what would happen. I think he wanted to get fired. I'll bet he wrote his resignation letter a week ago. Prolly popped it out of his briefcase when Obama demanded he resign.
This aint over.
Could someone point me to the quotes from McC?
Voting for Bozo showed extremely poor judgement.
Pray for America and Our Troops
“Obama says...”
Hmmm...let’s see...the words of a four star general, with proven bravery and track record and a lifetime of service to his Country...
versus...
..the words of a punkass chump communist POS community organizer...
Yeah...in the REAL world, we know whose words matter.
What the HELL happened to my country...?
Obama...the “Chump-In-Charge”. What a pathetic sick joke.
IIRC, he was also the one called to a meeting on a tarmac in Copenhagen while Obama was dealing with getting the iportant and vital strategic decision regarding the Olympics for chicago...
Once he’s gone, I can’t imagine he won’t be - I hope he goes all McChristal all the time on TV.
This issue reminds me of the movie “Gladiator”. Here we have a general who has served his country through four wars and is a hero to his men. On the other side we have an unaccomplished manchild who know nothing about leading the country. To make up for his “inexperience” he attempts to buy the peoples affection by buying them off with “bread and circuses”.
Frankly, I have no respect for anyone who can’t abide by their oath. Nor any sympathy. The articles of the UCMJ aren’t really a secret, and someone in his position should know better. If Obama weren’t so scared of seeming as anti-military as he really is, this general would be courtmartialed and demoted.
How many here would have approved of a general who granted an interview to Rolling Stone bashing the Bush administration while we were at war? I bet the word “treason” would even have been rolled out for such an occasion.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike Obama - but if we start fostering and promoting a military that doesn’t have to follow orders, or is allowed to besmirch their commanders, or can just pick and choose what orders they can follow, where does that road lead?
This isn’t a movie. McC was STUPID!
He COULD have resigned over principle - but he didn’t. Instead, he set himself up so that either A) he has to suck Obama’s you know what because Obama graciously allowed him to stay on the job, or B) resign for a big mouth - not in protest of Obama’s handling of the war.
What an IDIOT!
Does this mean the general has to put money in an escrow account?
The remarks by Gen. Stanley McChrystal is just a symptom of a larger issue or problem.
There are huge numbers of military people (no doubt the majority) who have no respect for “their” dear “demander-in-chief”. McChrystal has no doubt felt or heard the gripes from his lower ranks and is no doubt expressing the general disgust for Obama.
McChrystal will be chastised or asked to resign or will be re-assigned. But, the underlying issue of Obama versus the people of the military will remain. It must be hell having to follow orders from someone those people disrespect or hate.
The stupid idiotic media doesn't give a rat's a$$ about anything other than saving Zero's precious hide.
Damn these people and this administration.
and what kind of judgment was 0bama using when he committed his past drug felonies?
“I think he knew exactly what would happen. I think he wanted to get fired. I’ll bet he wrote his resignation letter a week ago. Prolly popped it out of his briefcase when Obama demanded he resign.”
Yep.
Obama just got completely tooled. There would have been no play of the article if Obama had no comment.
Now, the soft middle of the USA knows Obama is an idiot.
OOOOOOO...PUNCH!! Right on the kisser! Another one bites the dust....under the bus for you fella!!I tell ya the JOKER got some nerve!
Or letting Air Force One buzz NYC.
Or not supporting the Iranian uprising.
Bad Judgment??? Started with His mommy dearest and Unprotected sex with a third world Communist scumbag!
Nope, telling the truth about the person making poor judgement is bad according to dear leader.
Obama wants us to fail in the War on Terror. He thinks appeasing Muslims is more important then security. Maybe the Obamazombie crowd will wake up after the next attack on American soil by the terrorists Obama refuses to capture.
Obama doesn’t know the front end of an M-4 from a hole in the head.
And when it comes to “poor judgement”, 0bama has no equal.
I would hardly think McCrystal is the poster boy for that - ask the family of Pvt. Tillman
The Annointed Idiot canNOT handle criticism nor the truth......
The truth hurts you POS, CIC wannabe. I hope that McCrystal resigns then tells you point blank what he really thinks.
he obviously needed to resign after those statements as that is a no in military to so openly question the president, but i’m getting a good laugh watching the left in an uproar when they just loved and lived off any military or foreign leaders that disparaged bush.
zinni, shinseki and others were championed for their attacks on bush so i find it funny to watch obama have to deal with this. obviously mccrystal had to step down after that, but i love the turnabout. obama is a domestic enemy so i don’t consider it treason. the demon party are a bunch of treasonous ba—ards at the helm.
