You should have read the whole story before commenting. He said the one person he likes in the Administration is Hillary Clinton. Why are some you all so fast to want someone to run for President when you don’t even know how they lean. In this case it is toward Hillary.
I don't think so. He has apparently told people that he voted for Obama.
I think people who are on the right will be disappointed by a McChrystal book. My sense is he'll bash Bush and he'll bash Obamma, no one wins.
I've seen this complex with MANY flag officers. They don't believe anyone can lead as well as they can, and when they aren't successful, it must be someone else's fault. There are no heroes in this story, especially McChrystal. But, I suppose many will support him because of the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" axiom.
In the article by Michael Hastings, an aide describes McChrystal as “disappointed” by his first Oval Office meeting with President Barack Obama, whom he considered unprepared. It goes on to say that even though McChrystal voted for Obama, the two never clicked. And McChrystal is quoted as saying that he found it “painful” when the president reprimanded him last fall for speaking openly about his desire for more troops in Afghanistan.

No dice. He admittedly voted for Obama (how is he going to explain that while attempting to distinguish himself on policy, specifically domestic). His criticisms, while perhaps valid, could be argued as showing lack of respect for his commander. His record while in Afghanistan, even if not good for other reasons, is still on him and will be used against him. Not the best choice imho.
McChrystal voted for Obama. I’m always amazed at the politics of some of these generals. As Rush stated today, “McChrystal is a warrior General rather than an administrative General.”
How can a warrior type General vote for Obama. Patton was a warrior and I’d like to think he would have never voted for the likes of zero.
