One of the many responsibilities of the office of the President is that of Command In Chief. Yet for some reason in the obfuscation and self aggrandizement of the border line malignant narcissists that sell themselves to be elected, the American public does not question the ability of their candidates to manage our military. The most obvious case in point is the current President, Barack Obama.
Barack Obama is and has always been publicly disdainful of the military since his days at Columbia University. His opposition to the surge that broke the back of the Iraqi insurgency is one example with the most recent being his opposition to former Afghan Commander McChrystal’s request for a second surge in Afghanistan. Obama to prove a point to his radical lefitist base, deliberatly delayed the troops requested and then grudgingly ordered 30,000 troops instead of the 40,000, (the actual number started at 60,000), troops that Gen. McCrystal requested. In that the ratio of support troops to combat troops is 8 to 1, Obama actually only gave McCrystal roughly 7,000 combat troops.
McCrystal of course eventually challenged Obama’s ability and resigned in protest. You will remember that McCrystal was the commander who pulled off the successful surge in Iraq. But then he had a President who respected his field commanders judgement and supplied the troops necessary to carry out that campaign.
A Military Times poll conducted early this year found that 31 percent of subscribers to the publication approved of his job as commander in chief, while 53 percent disapproved. Those findings were similar to Military Times poll taken in December 2008, just before Mr. Obama was inaugurated, and found that 32 percent were “optimistic” about Mr. Obama as their commander in chief, while 30 percent were pessimistic and 35 percent were uncertain.

According to the various Marines, Army and National guard service members I talked to the actual number is far north of 53 percent. Among the Marines returning from Afghanistan, according to those I have talked to, the figure is closer to 75 percent who have no confidence in his ability as Commander In Chief. Their opinions are firmly anchored on the fact that they believe, as was stated by Marine Commandant Conway last week, that Obama has amped up the morale of the Taliban who according to intel reports, are celebrating Obama’ announcement of withdrawal. That along with the ROE policies that Gen. Petraeus was allegedly going to loosen up, have conspired the loss of whatever residual confidence these combat troops may have had in Obama’s ability to command. Simply put, Obama is incompetent and not fit to wear the mantle of Commander In Chief. Just my opinion.
Chris and Nkanyi Uyeh He indeed knows precisely what he is doing and his party is fully supportive. His moves are quite tactical and contemplated and my largest point in my response I failed to mentioned-my fault-is that his path leading him to elected office is as if he was recruited and moulded and preparted for this very moment. His education, associates, professions, values, mores and beliefs especially his dastardly church membership no one bothered to pay the slightest attention.
The media in this country covered his insertion with explicit and biased political psychological warfare that makes the Watergate boys look like vandals. The media furthered the conspiracy, showed their ass as well, harbingers of truth my ass. They are as equally complicit in bringing this nation to the brink of collapse.
As far as I am concerned from all I have examined since his campaign-which I followed quite closely-and I do not considert myself a conservative-this completely exonerates McCarthy and McCarthyism. This nation has been deeply penetrated and deeply betrayed.
Just my opinion.
Obama gets no slack from me and no mercy. He doesn’t deserve it, and his continuing rising and boiling cauldron of reaping is because he deliberately sowed deception and propaganda during his shallow, false and uncorroborated campaign that told the American people nothing. The chaos he and his administration has unleashed is astounding.
His assault on everything honorable and the rule of law is causing his dysfunction which has emanated from a lack of depth, actual factual experience and deceptions that have exposed his motives. I will say this again: The only success he has had is furthering enemy objectives in a global war Clinton did little to nothing about-and handcuffed any attempt at doing so. Obama continues to emaciate our nation’s sovereignty and national security deeply vulnerable to collapse and takeover.
His motives for running for office were quite easy to see and lay bare the selection criteria and motives of the Democratic Party for even considering him as a viable candidate much less forcing his choice which was a very successful operation started during the days following 9/11. The psychological warfare against Bush was designed to create the catalyst that brought Obama to power, bluntly. And what has he done successfully since being in office? As chaos envelops the world and there is little response, his complete successes have furthered enemy objectives by channeling the will of the American people collectively, and compromising combat efforts tangibly. We are almost to the point of no return because of this administration.
If you truly paid close attention to him during his campaign, you could see what has unfolded quite clearly taking root. You must remember the typical psychology of that a person becomes that with which they associate. Succinctly, borrowing from the theory of differential association (Edwin Sutherland, Criminologist) and expanding this to understand Obama and his current predicament:
“…Learning is defined as habits and knowledge that develop as a result of experiences with the environment, as opposed to instincts, drives, reflexes, and genetic predispositions. Associationism (developed by Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, and Hume) is the oldest learning theory. It is based on the idea that the mind organizes sensory experiences in some way, and is called cognitive psychology today. Behaviorism (developed by Pavlov and Skinner) is the second oldest learning theory. It is based on the idea that the mind requires a physical response by the body in order to organize sensory associations. There are two types of learning in behavioral psychology: classical conditioning (where stimuli produce a given response without prior training); and operant conditioning (where rewards and punishments are used to reinforce given responses). Examples of operant conditioning include verbal behavior, sexual behavior, driving a car, writing a paper, wearing clothing or living in a house. Most social behavior is of an operant nature…” from LEARNING THEORIES OF CRIME “You, too, can learn to be a serial killer.” (Robert Hale)
So, essentially, the Democratic Party is everything rumors have held for decades, and their fine Prince has been seated in furtherance of everything they are about.
I think it comes down to a thought; either he’s a total idiot, or hes’ working against the US and it’s allies. No matter how you look at it, it is undeniable his actions have benefited our enemies the most. In fact, their foreheads must be awfully sore from constantly slapping them in desbelief at their new found fortune in Mr Sotero Jr.
He knows what he is doing but it is not in the interest of the US and other Christian nations.
