Remember when Mao told the janitors they were now teachers and told the teachers they were now doctors and the doctors were now janitors.

That’s Obama. Consolidate power by making icompetent official heads everywhere so the shadow leaders have all the true power.

Even after the GOP resumes the presidency and Senate, they will find it impossible to ferret out all the communists from the various government institutions without a new era of McCarthy-like investigations, which are impossible to perform in the current PC climate.

Were screwed.

Hard socialism coming in 3... 2... 1...

Shrug. As for Perry, yeah, I do think it will be the dynamic hair duo in 2012. Romney/Perry.

Provide some evidence that Petraeus is an “incompetent official.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hard dictatorship is coming. Think about it.

General Petraeus and every legislator that confirmed him **KNOW** that Obama posted two FORGERIES. Patraeus and **all** of these guys and gals KNOW that Obama is using a social security number from someone else. They KNOW that no one remembers ever seeing Obama as a student on the campus of Columbia University. They KNOW that he was adopted by a foreign man and lived in this man's country. They KNOW that that Obama likely used a foreign passport.

Yet....There is not even **one** man or woman of integrity or courage willing stand up to authority and demand answers. It likely won't be Obama who bring on the hard dictatorship, but with this low level of moral integrity, tyranny is inevitable! It is coming. Soon!

Of all the people who failed morally to question Obama’s eligibility, I am the most disappointed in our very highest military. This would include Petreaus. Where is the evidence that they PEACEFULLY and LEGALLY sought certifiable clarification of Obama’s eligibility from either the congress or the courts? Did any of them peacefully and legally resign and hold a public press conference to explain why?

When did ignoring forgeries, identity theft, election fraud, and campaign fraud, usurpation of the military position of Commander in Chief, and lying become part of the military code of honor? Well....We now have a person who did ignore it and he is now the head of the CIA one of our most sensitive agencies in the protection of our security. Where is his honor? May God save this nation!

LOL! My brother lives in a trailer and the chipmunks have set up shop! LOL...they are so cute but...then I don’t have to live with the little b**t**ds. They’re driving my normally sane brother over the edge. Told him to get a cat but really, who wants to witness wild kingdom in their home?

“Nope, it’s Soros who makes these decisions.”

I think you’re on to something. But who gives Soros his marching orders? He’s a pimp compared to some.

Why? Determining his eligibility isn't their job.

This would include Petreaus. Where is the evidence that they PEACEFULLY and LEGALLY sought certifiable clarification of Obama’s eligibility from either the congress or the courts?

The clarification was provided by the Supreme Court, the day they swore Obama in as President. It's not the job of the Army to challenge the Supreme Court on matters of Constitutional interpretation. It's no more complicated than that.

You don't have to like it, but to slander the military for failures of the courts, the congress and the American electorate is reprehensible and cowardly.

Keep track of where you’re seeing them. If food prices continue to rise, those areas could become your hunting grounds. ;>)

Rat traps baited with peanut butter works. Or a nice little terrier.

Our government is just getting to big. I thought Petraeus becoming CIA director was going to be a good thing. From what some of the other posters are saying, it doesn’t sound all that great.

A little perspective is in order. Petraeus has his flaws, but he's also the subject of a lot of cheap shots from armchair warriors who aren't fit to shine his shoes.

Overall, he's an exceptionally competent man. I've taken issue with some of his individual decisions, but I've worked close enough to the flagpole to cut him some slack. He had a historically tough task at balancing the realities on the ground with the political constraints from Washington, and did better than anyone else at it.

Interesting but completely irrelevant. “Politics is the art of the possible.” What did ANYONE hope to gain by having Obama’s BC challenged? It was painfully obvious that all he would do is trot out some piece of paper that remotely looked like a BC and the press would close the case. While it was amusing to watch the leftists squirm for a few days, there was no way it was going to accomplish anything. Now, anything else that has to do with Obama’s past is subject to the same level of scoffing as “birthers” whether it’s warranted or not.

So, offering the “evidence” that Petraeus didn’t sink his long, distinguished career that still has places to go (i.e. CIA director, likely Cabinet appointments, maybe even VPOTUS or POTUS) over something that was very obviously going to go nowhere, that that somehow negates what he’s accomplished as a very effective, proven wartime leader? Complete nonsense. Patton could’ve done the same thing and he’d be screamed at by idiots on this site.

This is more FReeper handwringing over B.S., not facts. Too many idiots on here who want to get worked up, but no one willing to do any actual analysis. Far too typical around here these days, and it didn’t used to be like that.

Funny. A few years back the Left called him General Betrayus and now they’ve install him as their CIA director.
