MSM and talking head rallying around McChrystal

[RandySF]

On NPR and other outlets, I am hearing the same meme: As unfortunate as his remarks are, he's too valuable to replace. And the press and said talking heads will turn Obama into the bad guy if he has the cajones to fire his ass.

1. LOL, the talking heads always make Obama the bad guy....

regardless of the topic at hand. It will simply be the same old, same old.

6. Spot on!

Obama could cure cancer, invent a vehicle that runs on pollution, give every American a brand new car and home of their choice, and create the largest financial surplus in US history, and they will find something wrong with all of it.

8. Yep, I am sure he wouldn't have shown enough emotion, too much emotion....

too much arrogance, too much wimpiness, you know the drill, lol.

They have become the pendulum by which to judge the public response to the issues, if the pundits don't like it, it is very good odds the public does!

2. Too valuable?

That's bullshit. There are plenty of generals out there. This isn't like McChrystal is the Barry Bonds of the military. Good grief.

4. The RWing Mainstream media says "Respect the generals!" What a shocker!

What are they going to say, respect the Kenyan?

[Dawson Leery]

5. That is not what MSNBC and CNN are saying.

For now.

7. They haven't gotten the fax yet. nt

9. no! don't fire mcclellan! he's the only general who can smoke lee out!

presidents never win wars by switching generals!

10. Truman vs. MacArthur. Truman fired him. nt

[Rageneau]

11. Obama should order this bozo to Midway so he can fly there and fire him.

Boy, wouldn't it be nice to once again have a president with the balls (and sense of responsibility to his nation) that old Harry Truman had.
