| Do you notice that neck brace on Robert Gates will be the only thing memorable? Gates was on That Guy Who Helped Obama Win's right wing carnival. |
With a neck brace on, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates goes to the junk food media to rant off about how bad it was being in the Obama Administration.
The price Barack Obama paid for being bipartisan. Keeping a Republican on the payroll is something that Democratic presidents should never do. You see what happens!
Jon Huntsman the former ambassador to China was trying to be the next president.
Now Gates an appointee under George W. Bush stayed on after Obama asked him to. The former Secretary of Defense went to friendly media outlets like Loserville to tag on the president, Vice President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
He claimed that the Obama Administration was trashing Bush's policies and making comments about political expediency when it came to the "surge" in Iraq back in 2007.
Yeah, it's funny that even though Bush let the ball roll on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's Obama's fault because he wanted the troops out of those countries now!
Then candidate Obama said that the war in Iraq was a distraction. The greater need was in Afghanistan.
Then candidate Obama believed that if Osama bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan, he would use all his resources to find him and bring him to justice.
Now President Obama said that our troops are going into harms way too many times. He said "As the commander-and-chief, I want to establish regularity in deployments: so that active duty and reserves know what they must expect, rather than the current trend of changing the deployment schedules after they have left home, which harms the morale of troops and their families."
I don't see anything wrong with what President Obama is doing. He wanted to end the war.
So if you're thinking that Gates is being an asshole, you're not the only one.
Going to That Guy Who Helped Obama Win is pretty much a summary of the desperation by Republicans.
The White House is bristling over former Defense Secretary Robert Gates' new memoir that accuses President Barack Obama of showing too little enthusiasm for the U.S. war mission in Afghanistan and that criticizes Vice President Joe Biden's foreign policy instincts.
In "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War," set for release next week by the publishing house Knopf, Gates writes that Biden is "a man of integrity" but also a political figure who has been "wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."
Gates, a Republican, also slammed the National Security Council under Obama's watch. Gates cited what he called the "controlling nature" of the White House, writing that Obama's national security team "took micromanagement and operational meddling to a new level."
White House spokesman Jay Carney on Wednesday said Gates' account of confrontations at the White House over Afghanistan policy "is hardly news."
Tell-all books are not new to Washington, and they're woven into the city's cultural fabric. In the inside-the-Beltway political culture, they burst into view, make a splash on TV, online and in print, and fade. But in the case of Gates' book, the White House chose to speak out quickly and sharply.
The National Security Council issued a statement late Tuesday asserting that Obama relies on Biden's "good counsel" every day and considers him "one of the leading statesmen of his time."
In his memoir, Gates asserted that Obama showed a frustration with U.S. policy in Afghanistan. "I never doubted Obama's support for the troops, only his support for their mission," Gates writes.
Carney disputed that, saying Wednesday, "The president believes thoroughly in the mission."
He said reports about the book have been based on selected excerpts that are particularly critical of the White House.
To the readers of Journal de la Reyna, I want to say this clearly:
SEAN HANNITY (AKA THAT GUY WHO HELPED OBAMA WIN) AND FOX NEWS (AKA LOSERVILLE) ARE GOING TO COST THE REPUBLICANS THE ELECTION!
THEY HAVE NO REASONABLE CREDIBILITY WHATSOEVER! PEOPLE ARE TUNING THIS NONSENSE OUT! THE NETWORK TELLS NOTHING BUT LIES AND HALF-TRUTHS. THE NETWORK IS THE MOUTHPIECE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
ROBERT GATES IS NOTHING BUT A TURNCOAT! IF HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, HE SHOULD HAVE NOT HAVE ACCEPTED THE JOB AS DEFENSE SECRETARY!
THAT NETWORK, ITS COMMENTATORS, AND THOSE WHO VIEW IT ARE PRACTICALLY THE REASONS TO WHY THE REPUBLICANS ARE LOOKED AT AS RACIST, SEXIST, ISLAMOPHOBIC, HOMOPHOBIC, CONDESCENDING IDIOTS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PAINTS THEM OUT TO BE!
Here the videos of interview. Some portions of the article comes from The Associated Press through The Denver Post.
