U.S. commander in Afghanistan talked with Obama only once

Obama is ignoring his general in Afghanistan and working to bring the Olympics to Chicago
The military general credited with capturing Saddam Hussein and killing the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, says he has spoken with President Obama only once since taking command in Afghanistan.
"I’ve talked to the president, since I’ve been here, once on a VTC [video teleconference]," Gen. Stanley McChrystal told CBS reporter David Martin in a television interview that aired Sunday.
"You’ve talked to him once in 70 days?" Mr. Martin followed up.
"That is correct," the general replied.
This revelation comes amid the explosive publication of a classified report written by the general that said the war in Afghanistan "will likely result in failure" if more troops are not added next year. Yet, the debate over health care reform continues to dominate Washington’s political discussions.

"That one" isn't interested in wars in Afghanistan, he's only interested in destroying our health care system and making us a socialist country. I hope those who voted for him are happy. These Yellow Dog Democrats are ruining our country, Get him out before he destroys us completely.

Should anything this president does surprise us ? He is consummed by idealology. Rational thinking becomes unnecessary or even impossible when your every thought is clouded with idealism. Heaven alone can be our help.
