Time magazine's Joe Klein this weekend claimed President Obama has a better relationship with the military than George W. Bush did when he was Commander-in-Chief.
Such hypocritically was said on "The Chris Matthews Show" just moments before Klein noted that the military were "very much opposed" to attacking Libya (video follows with partial transcript and commentary):
JOE KLEIN, TIME MAGAZINE: The other thing is theres still tension between [President Obama] and Petraeus about what exactly, how exactly to close out Afghanistan. I'd say the relationship is pretty good, very, better than it was with Bush because the military hated the fact that he wasn't really doing the job in Iraq.
Got that? The militarys relationship is better with Obama because they supposedly hated that Bush wasnt really doing the job in Iraq.
However, watch what happened when Matthews brought up Libya:
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Whats the reaction of the military in these campaigns?
ELISABETH BUMILLER, NEW YORK TIMES: The military was not behind the Libya campaign.
KLEIN: Very much opposed to it.
BUMILLER: Yeah, Gates was opposed to it. They went in kicking and screaming. Did what they had to do.
MATTHEWS: That was a Hillary push, right?
BUMILLER: Well, they, Hillary and a few others. They did what they had to do in the first few days, which was take out the air defenses, and then they said, Okay, NATOs problem now. We have two wars going on. We dont need a third.
So, in Klein's sycophantic Obama-loving view, the military have a better relationship with the current president than the former one despite them being "very much opposed" to him getting them involved in a third war.
That's liberal logic for you.
Who went by and saw soldiers wounded at FT Hood? W. Who never went to see them? That would be the zero. Who told the American people not to rush to judgment that it was a muslim attack on the soldiers at FT Hood? That would be the zero.
These people are insane.
How would Joe Klein know anything about what soldiers think?
So the media is blaming Hillary for Libya...
And how many time has the Obamination ever gone to the airport to welcome our troops home before running off to play golf?
Surprised he could talk at all with those exotic oysters in his mouth.
What I would like to say about Klein/Time. Suffice to say they collectively do not deserve the “Time” of day.
No, they are worse then insane!!! They see what is coming, they refuse to believe it. They live in a bubble in delusion over Obama. The rants, raves, comments, lies about “our” folks just ain’t gonna work. Joe Klein, sad to say is one of the worst nutcases rumbling around the false fog of Obama. What a dummy!!! Joe, my boy, POTUS Obama is going down. He is toast, as in toast!!!
And how many times has he ever gotten rousing cheers and standing ovations by our soldiers every time he talked to us? Not the zero, that’s for sure. I wouldn’t urinate on that scumbag if he were ON FIRE.
Klein is a serial RAT liar. His last TIME column was a total bash of Israel.
Gallup: Vets and active-duty military rate Obama lower than civilians

Versus a true Commander in Chief:
.
recent polls suggest this is not true, that Obama gets less support in the armed forces than the general public
The Wee Wee has a great relationship with the military because he is
widely respected as a military genius and leader of the highest caliber
Good response. Better than mine. I wanted to say something I shouldn’t say.
I would give this story a 360 degree head spinning Linda Blair green projectile vomit type alert.
Awesome rebuttal to this nonsense. Thank-you.
