Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates sharply questions President Obama's "passion" for military matters in his forthcoming memoir, and claims that practically the only time he saw that in the president was during his push to repeal "don't ask, don't tell."
The former Pentagon chief said in an interview aired Sunday that he was "disturbed" by Obama's "absence of passion" when it came to his military strategy. But in the book, "Duty," reviewed by Fox News, Gates hit Obama harder -- and in personal terms -- by contrasting his style with that of former President George W. Bush.
"One quality I missed in Obama was passion, especially when it came to the two wars," Gates wrote. "In my presence, Bush -- very unlike his father -- was pretty unsentimental. But he was passionate about the war in Iraq; on occasion, at a Medal of Honor ceremony or the like, I would see his eyes well up. I worked for Obama longer than Bush, and I never saw his eyes well up."

Because Americans have NO MORALS LEFT.....especially now that 49% PAY NO TAXES and GET MONEY FROM THE GOVT...us.
Obama’s narcissistic and self absorbed.
And isn’t it FUNNY Gates was the man in charge when the Military was transformed— He writes this in his book as he is about to assume his new office as head of the new (Queer)Boy Scouts? Says a lot about where his passion is —eh?
Sociopaths don’t normally get emotional.
I'd go even farther and say he has AIDS. Many have noted how gaunt he has become in the last 5 years. Men who age just don't go in that direction weight-wise, especially when they're downing burgers and fries with Mooshelle.
Homo In Chief
Here is Mitt Romney on DADT in 1994, as he was calling for homosexualizing the military.
One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.
“John the Baptist of the AntiChrist” in Chief
Some woman, Mia Marie Pope, said Obama was gay in high school (went to high school with him). I’ve googled her, & nothing new posted since then. Not even anything about whether she really went to high school with him. I suspect it’s true.
You might be closer to the truth than you imagine.
