Our current president hasn't made a career of being the head cheerleader for sending in the troops as a means of resolving international conflicts.

Rather than a liar, one might more accurately describe Olbermann as a near-hysterical Democratic party shill, just as Hannity predictably panders to the GOP. No difference, really, except for the blue/red demographic...

Herein lies issue I have with him, he seems to be an intelligent individual, yet he deliberately chooses to be extremely one sided. I can see why many left-wingers experience consolation by watching his show, as it is essentially an echo chamber.. I prefer Maddow to Olbermann, but really do not like either one (or Hannity for that matter).

Nor, as was his campaign promise, has he brought them home. Only sent additional forces to Afganistan.

Besides, this speaks to his willingness to serve how?

To quote Olbermann himself (when Lieberman announced his retirement): "Good riddance, delusional liar."
