Any chance he had of getting the Republican nomination went up in smoke when he came out in favor of allowing gays to serve openly. Maybe that's why McCain and others were cutting him off from his prepared remarks.

Also I'm pretty sure he was in the chain of command that continued to violate the Army's own policy in the coverup of the Pat Tillman killing (almost certainly-.9999 probability) by a man in his own company.

I have no interest in Petraeus and I don't see any groundswell of enthusiasm for the man.

There are too many other up-and-coming GOP'ers I'd like to see step up. Check out this clip of Paul Ryan. I like the way he handles that old fool Sander Levin and especially Louise Slaughter. (this is not to hijack thread to healthcare, this young man is the party's future and I like the way he handles the pressure)

I think it's time for hooked on phonics. One can never understand a word he writes. Might as well write in morse code.

Either that, or get a new keyboard.

There's no falling on the floor laughing icon or I would use it but considering you elected a person for president with the slimmest of slim resume for leadership, you have to be kidding me. A senior class president with his own lemonade stand had more leadership/managerial experience than Obama.
