    you mean this kind of fantasy world... or the real one we actually live in.
    anyone who thinks Obama is spending less and the deficit is lower is the person not even vaguely in touch with reality.

  4. Anyone who thought that the Birth Certificate conspiracy was going to get Obama out of office,that The SC was going to overturn Obamacare,that unskewed polls was correct is not vaguely in touch with reality.


    Obama fired the top General in Afghanistan over a magazine interview,He fired The head of The CIA over an affair.The military and CIA does not bully Obama around,that should be clear.Other Generals have been far more disrespectful to Presidents before being fired.Patreaus and Mccrystal were 2 of the highest ranking and most respected Generals of recent times and Obama cut them no slack when they only slightly fucked up yet you think Generals are going tell Obama that they are going to send troops into a sovereign nation to kill Bin Laden without his permission ? Come back to reality Jem

  6. Another General recently disciplined by Obama





    Pentagon: Army Gen. William 'Kip' Ward demoted for lavish travel, must repay $82,000

    4:59 AM, Nov 14, 2012


    WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has demoted the former head of U.S. Africa Command who was accused of spending thousands of dollars on lavish travel and other unauthorized expenses, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

    Panetta stripped Gen. William "Kip" Ward of a star, which means that he will now retire as a three-star lieutenant general. Ward also has been ordered to repay the government $82,000.

    Secretary of the Army John McHugh concurred with Panetta's decision, Pentagon press secretary George Little said in a statement Tuesday.

    The demotion came after retired Army Gen. David Petraeus resigned as CIA director because of an extramarital affair and Marine Gen. John Allen was being investigated for potentially improper communications with a woman.

    "Secretary Panetta insists that leaders within the Department of Defense exemplify both professional excellence and sound judgment," Little said. "The secretary is committed to ensuring that any improprieties or misconduct by senior officers are dealt with swiftly and appropriately."

    A spokesman for Ward said Tuesday that the general "has never been motivated by personal gain and fulfilled each and every mission assigned to him and served his country and the men and women assigned to his commands with distinction."

    "While Gen. Ward is not perfect he has always been guided by his faith in God and the belief that there is no greater honor as a patriot than to lead those who choose to serve our nation in the armed forces," spokesman Chris Garrett said in a statement.

    Retiring as a three-star general will cost Ward about $30,000 a year in retirement pay, giving him close to $208,802 a year rather than the $236,650 he would receive as a four-star general.

    Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had urged Panetta to allow Ward to retire at his full four-star general rank, according to defense officials.

    A report by the Defense Department inspector general found that Ward used military vehicles to shuttle his wife on shopping trips and to a spa and billed the government for a refueling stop overnight in Bermuda, where the couple stayed in a $750 suite. The report detailed lengthy stays at lavish hotels for Ward, his wife and his staff members, and the use of five-vehicle motorcades when he traveled to Washington.
