Fire General McChrystal!


General McChrystal has shown great disdain towards President Obama in the past when he questioned his military strategy in a speech he gave in London.But this time,it's worse.He has really disparaged the president this time.

White House Press secretary,Robert Gibbs, said that McChrystal made an "enormous mistake" when he let Rolling Stone magazine do a profile of him.In that expose,Gen. McChrystal dissed many in the Obama administration.And now he may have to tender his resignation because of those remarks.

If he doesn't resign,President Obama should fire Gen.McChrystal.

Here's more from The Huffington Post:

"For insubordination, for disrespecting the Office of the President of the United States and for allowing derision of the White House among his staff, General Stanley McChrystal must resign.

McChrystal has been summoned from Afghanistan to explain derisive comments and insubordination detailed in a new Rolling Stone article by Michael Hastings. As detailed in the article, the general and his staff were clearly disrespectful of the office of the president, as well as contemptuous of the civilian leadership of our country. McChrystal's behavior and his toleration of similar behavior from his staff breeds an attitude of contempt for civilian leadership among his officers, and no Commander-in-Chief should tolerate it. McChrystal should resign, and the president should accept his resignation.

In the article, McChrystal and his aides heap derision on National Security Advisor Jim Jones (a "clown,"), Vice President Joe Biden ("Bite me,"), and the President of the United States, Barack Obama.

When shown the article prior to it's publication, McChrystal didn't push back:

Eric Bates, the magazine's editor, said during an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that McChrystal saw the piece prior to its publication as part of Rolling Stone's standard fact-checking process - and that the general did not object to or dispute any of the reporting."(END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.

Isn't It Great That BP Cares About "The Small People"?!


BP chairman,Carl-Henric Svanberg,said:

"I hear comments sometimes that large oil companies are really companies that don't care, but that is not the case in BP. We care about the small people."

Oh,grand Swedish sir!How gracious it is for you to actually spare some of your feelings for the poor peasants from the Gulf Coast!It must be so reassuring for the people whose livelihoods may be a thing of the past to hear a statement like that!

Let me reassure you,Mr. Svanberg.You are a small person that works for a big company.So,I would hope that you would care about folks who are just like you.Having money does not make you greater than others.It just makes you richer.That's all.

Being that this guy is European,I'm sure he views thing based on social stratification.So it's no surprise to me that he would view fisherman & other hard working-class people as "small people."

Here's more from The Huffington Post:

"BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg gave a press conference after BP's four hour meeting with Obama at the White House. During his statement, he disputed the claim the the oil giant didn't care about gulf residents, stating that BP cares about "small people." English is a second language for Svanberg, who is Swedish, but reporters took note of his demeaning phrasing, and shouted questions about what he meant after he spoke, which he did not answer."(END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.

Kid Cudi just got arrested for destroying a woman's property in what appeared to be a fit of rage.Not long before that,he punched some guy in the face at one of his shows.I thought that this dude was the laid back preppy type because of the way that he looks.But,I was wrong.You would expect these types of antics from a member of the Bones,Thugs, & Harmony. I guess it's just a Cleveland thing.
