“He senses a sea change in public perceptions and as a survivor he is jockeying for the best lifeboat seat before the arrival of the rogue wave.”

Wouldn’t want to be Gates on Judgement Day. His silence in the face of the evil communist take over will doom his soul forever to hell...

The more I hear about Barry’s VP nominee, the more I like McCain’s.

In the words of George Carlin:

“Yeah, he’s an a**hole. But a well meaning, a**hole.”

OR

I won’t go as far as to call him a ‘Ba—ard’,

BUT

I will give you proof his parents never married.

Gates was the only adult in that room. How he stayed as long as he did..can only be explained by a strong sense of duty and love of country. I admire the man. His is a book I want.

You can take your book and shove it.

Apparently you have insight into the Almighty’s criteria for afterlife that the rest of us don’t.

"The first, he says, was Obama’s decision to seek the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy toward gays serving in the military. Though Gates says he supported the decision, there had been months and months of debate, with details still to work out. On one day’s notice, Obama informed Gates and Mullen that he would announce his request for a repeal of the law. Obama had “blindsided Admiral Mullen and me,” Gates writes. Similarly, in a battle over defense spending, “I was extremely angry with President Obama,” Gates writes. “I felt he had breached faith with me . . . on the budget numbers.” As with “don’t ask, don’t tell,” “I felt that agreements with the Obama White House were good for only as long as they were politically convenient."

Well, well, well. Robert Gates is surprised that Obama gutted the military by over $300 Billion in 2008 to divert to his "stimulus", again by another $487 Billion in 2011, and again by $650 Billion due to Sequestration in 2013? And he was also surprised that Obama (almost certainly a homosexual himself and a notorious member of Chicago's infamous "Down Low" club) fast tracked homosexuality in the military?

Today, we are dealing with the consequences of this sin and tragedy, and Robert Gates is partly to blame. This morning, the DoD announced Millions in new spending for homosexual "spouses" benefits, while the DoD is planning on gutting military TRICARE, and pensions for the disabled and widows have already been cut. Military readiness is in a shambles, and morale is in the toilet.
