Quote
McChrystal never should have been hired for this job given the outrageous cover-up he participated in after the friendly fire death of Pat Tillman. He was lucky to keep the job after his 'Seven Days in May' stunt in London last year when he openly lobbied and undercut the president on the surge.But with the latest sassing, and the continued Sisyphean nature of the surge he urged, McChrystal should offer his resignation. He should try subordination for a change.

Quote
Obama never told America how "like, smart" he was or that he was a "stable genius". He was never heard calling himself a genius because stable, smart people don't need to tell people that they are stable and smart. Unstable, ignorant people do!
