ROFL- the Failure In Chief can't work with military leaders due to his insecurity and incompetence, fires them at an unprecedented rate, and it's just another day of hope & change in the rainbows, lolipops, and unicorns bizzaro world of the wacky left. Nothing to see here. It's everyone else's fault- not Obama (as usual).

Hey!

We have something in common!

I'm ROFL too!

Beccause the whiny little babies who just can't accept the fact things won't always go their way and can't accept that the man MOST Americans wanted in the White House is there are comical as they make up their whiny little crybaby stories.

"Fires them at an unprecedented rate?"
Really?

How many generals has the president "fired?" And, how does that number compare to previous presidents?

Let's have some actual facts to back up these "rainbows,lollipops and unicorns" statements, otherwise, I'm calling BS.

When McChrystal first met Obama, he recalled thinking that Obama was “uncomfortable and intimidated” by the room full of military brass...these days it’s the military brass that feels uncomfortable and intimidated by Obama Inc.
There have been a number of Presidents who came into office who the military attempted to bully the policies of a newly elected Commander in Chief, in this case both Lincoln and Truman come readily to mind who in short order were disabused of that notion, as it should be. The President is the Commander in Chief and if his subordinates cannot accomplish the goals and policies that he sets forth they damn sure need to feel uncomfortable and intimidated just as their subordinates have felt uncomfortable and intimidated under their command.

Unprecedented huh?

Six generals fired:
Generals Irvin McDowell, George McClellan, John Pope, Ambrose Burnside, Joseph Hooker and George Meade.
by who? Abraham Lincoln

So Obama hasn't fired generals at an unprecedented rate. None of this happened. It's all made up. Like I said....those living in liberal bizzaro world are out in force on this one.

If you had actually read the article before commenting you would know. Please feel free to call BS all you'd like.

What unprecedented rate would that be? Between July 25, 1861 and 1865, Lincoln fired Gens George McClellan twice, Irwin McDowell, Ambrose Burnside, and Joseph Hooker. He place George Meade as titular head of the Army of the Potomac until he finally found a general that he could work with, and that is just the list from the Army of the Potomac.

I have a meeting to go to, but when I return I will take the time to deconstruct the mendacious article that is unsurprisingly filled with mischaracterizations, ahistorical nonsense and out and out lies.

Until you supply something factual in support of your allegations your rant gives every indication of being made up of bizzaro conservative whine and nothing else.
