The following article is from the Australian Broadcasting Company. It refers to an interview in the Rolling Stone:

The problem for this story is that it is too believable. Why would anyone be surprised that an uneducated, lazy, left-wing radical community organizer from Chicago falls somewhat short of Churchill in the leadership category. This creates huge problems for Obama. If he fires McChrystal, he just gives him more air time. In addition, if McChrystal is this vocal while still in command, just imagine what he will say if he is relieved. Obama will try to silence McChrystal, and he may succeed…for a while…but the truth is there for everyone to see. McChrystal basically threw both Obama, Biden and the entire Obama administration under the bus. Obama has to relieve McChrystal. Even if we agree with him, this is a level of insubordination that no President can tolerate.
Here’s the good news. I know many of us are concerned over Obama’s plans for a complete liberal takeover of our country. That is, frankly, what he has in mind, but it ain’t going to happen. It’s real easy. If you are this bad as a leader with regard to the war in Afghanistan and the BP oil spill, there is zero chance you are a competent leader anywhere else. Odds are really high that in the end, Obama will accomplish nothing at all. Instead, there will be such a strong backlash that this country may be spared liberal leadership for the next generation. In every democracy where liberals have been given complete power they have screwed it up big time. Ultimately, they get thrown out of office with very little ceremony.
Obama is beyond tone deaf politically. He even praised gay fathers during his traditional Father’s Day proclamation. He nominated Kagan for the Supreme Court, assuming that her liberal baggage wouldn’t matter. But, don’t be surprised if the Kagan nomination is going, going, gone. The problem is that she literally compared the NRA to the KKK. Imagine you’re a Democrat. You are already in serious trouble with regard to this falls election. Now you’re being asked to support a candidate for the U.S. Supreme Court that is virulently opposed by the NRA. The Democrats are so afraid of the NRA they tried to carve them out of the new campaign finance legislation.
Obama and Biden have already announced this as the Summer of Recovery. I really think they meant jobs, but that is absurd. But, I think they did name it right. This will be the Summer of Recovery. It will be the Summer when the U.S. wakes up and throws the bums out. We are going to see a full scale political revolt this fall, less than five months away. That right folks. In less than five months and Obama becomes a lame duck President with a Republican House, a Republican Senate and a congress with a Tea Party attitude.
Update: McChrystal has been ordered home. Watch the fun begin. Some Republican is going to call him before congress and ask him some pointed questions. Even Democrats are likely to join in the session. Democrats will try to paint McChrystal as a rouge commander, trying to blame Obama for his own failures. Republicans will ask him if he had the support he needed to win the war. This could be high drama. The war is not popular with the liberal left, and Republicans are not happen with the way Obama is handling it. McChrystal is likely to catch it from both sides. This could be an early start to the Fireworks season.
