I like listening to Talk Radio.
We have a local FM station that does Talk Radio that I listen to during my Day Job Driving Taxi. (Hypno Shows are a bit slow right now.) The Station is WXLM.(Link) It is mostly Syndicated Conservative Talk Radio except for the local Morning Show, that leans right.

Here is a Question presented by the Morning DJ today.

Quote:
Out of my Mind with Lee Elci(Link)
President Obama VS General McChrystal. This is like King Kong VS that giant turtle (whatever his name was). Anyway, my question for all of you is should the Commander in Chief be required to spend time in the military? It’s a respect thing. There is a problem when your President garners zero respect from the military brass he is supposed to lead. The situation in Afghanistan is very similar. No military warrior wants an outsider who seems uninterested and uninformed about the Afghan War, telling them what to do. Our leaders on the ground in the Middle East have been in the thick of the fight for 10 years! General McChrystal has seen his wife a total of 30 days per year for the last decade. He has served this county with honor and pride. General McChrystal is a patriot and a true American hero. What is Obama???


While we are at it, want to post a link to your local radio station?

Well the first six Gamera films are pretty foolish, but try the 90s trilogy.

His boss and Mr. McWhineyPants is probably going to find out the hard way that whole Commander in Chief thing isn't up to him.

The question is not interesting, it's stupid.

One thing that makes America great is that the military is not a path to political power. While it has served as a path to the presidency in the past, in general it is not how you gain power... and it's not something we want.

Bottom line is that even if Obama is a huge douchebag, McChrsystal is a bigger douchebag. He violated one of the most sacred rules of the military. If someone did to him what he did to the administration, he would have had them castrated.

Fuck him and the shame he's brought on the military, the presidency, and our country.

I thought this episode was well handled by Obama. Putting Petraeus in charge was an excellent choice. Obama's statement mixed the right amount of stern "this can't happen" with respect for his service. Other than his words and him being a douchebag, he still served his country well and doesn't deserve total disgrace. Just to be replaced. Nice and clean.

It's interesting that Patreaus was talked about when it came to the 2008 election. If he can turn it around in Afghanistan (I don't think he can, I think it's fucked), it would be ironic if he did wind up running. He's been pretty clear he will not, but damn... twice a hero. He'd be unbeatable.

QFT. The United States doesn't need an endless string of juntas. There's more than enough of that in the world already.

Par for the course, considering the poster.
