Obama orders Army to demote Major Garrett to 2nd LT; confined to barracks for 3 weeks; loss of pay
one man's opinion.....

Posted on 07/16/2015 10:04:51 AM PDT by ken5050

President Obama, obviously very annoyed at a reporter's question about the just-signed deal with Iran; today showed that he is not afraid to exert his role at Commander in Chief. The White House today announced that suitable disciplinary measures would be taken against the the offender, Major Garrett.

Garrett asked Obama about the four Americans still being held in Iran..."...Can you tell the country, sir, why you are content with all the fanfare around this deal to leave the conscience of this nation, the strength of this nation, unaccounted for in relation to these four Americans?"

Obama, visibly displeased with the question, then tore into Garrett, accusing him of uttering "nonsense."

Press Secretary Josh Earnest announced at today's briefing that the White House had been informed by the Army that Major Garrett "would be demoted to 2nd LT, confined to quarters for 3 weeks, and suffer the loss of pay and privileges for that period of time."

When asked if Obama was exerting undue command influence on the military justice system, Earnest said that this disciplinary action was being taken by the Army, that the White House had no role whatsoever in the proceedings, and referred all further questions to the Pentagon.

I thought Obama laid it on thick. It seemed like a rehearsed act to me.

NO doubt he also created a new law forbiding Garrett to ask any questions, Oh and he passed this without Congress just as he did with the Iran treaty.

It was interesting watching Zer0 trying to keep from showing his uncontrolled absolute rage and from acting out on that rage.
This was one of the few moments that the MSM actually asked such a question of our American Royalty. It wasn’t just interesting. It was fun watching him squirm.

Very loud "CLUCKING" sounds were heard coming from the oval office. No surprise.

Garrett might now be a 2LT, but he’ll never have to buy his own beer again.

Garrett has been declared an apostate for daring to question Their Lord And Savior, The Obama, The Messiah, The Won.

And he did it during the Call To Worship (aka presser).

“Heretic! Heretic!!”

He was pissed he was even challenged and the little man child could be seen in his face as stumbled for an answer. LOL. It was classic. Major Garrett will be sent back to Fox News Channel.

Obama is a petulant jug eared effeminate thin skinned tyrant wannabe.

“When asked if Obama was exerting undue command influence on the military justice system, Earnest said that this disciplinary action was being taken by the Army, that the White House had no role whatsoever in the proceedings”

And we know that is not true at all.

Seriously, Major Garrett might lose his job at CBS for that forceful question. Not softball enough for the Lefties at CBS. Look what happened to Sharyl Attkisson. She had to resign because her CBS bosses wouldn't allow tough questions or hardball stories. She asked too many probing questions on Benghazi. It's obvious that CBS is in the tank for Obama.

Obama had the omnipotence to chastise Garrett for asking the questions, finally saying to him, "You should know better than that." Wow, does he think his sh*t don't stink?
