Pentagon staffers gush after meeting Obama
Darth Cheney is not going to like this one bit! Life is good at the Pentagon when the Commander in Chief is not a braindead moron.

By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers

Pentagon officials don't normally gush, but Whispers has learned that top staffers were positively enthusiastic following their first meeting with the commander in chief in the secure conference room dubbed "the Tank" recently. They were impressed by the "high-level, global-strategic" discussion and by President Obama's detailed grasp of the difficulties that face the U.S. military. Said one senior Pentagon official: "He asked a lot of really, really good questions."

1. Is anyone surprised?
He's an intelligent man. Unlike anyone in the previous administration, including the Idiot-In-Chief.

2. He oozes intelligence, compassion, and concern.
Everyone who meets him should be impressed! He's a true human!

I have no idea what Cheney and Bush are...but "human" is not a word I'd use to describe either of these sad excuses for life on earth!

4. That about says it all does it not?
Can you imagine those meetings with the brain dead monkey at the helm?

"He asked a lot of really, really dumb ass fucking questions."

5. "President Obama's detailed grasp of the difficulties..."
Yeah, that is new to all of us.

This is very telling.

6. Bush just asked, "Is it legal?"
Then when they weren't sure he went to John Woo and told him to make it legal so he could do it. That was soooo much simpler!

9. Or he'd just do it anyway...
Because when the president does it, it's not illegal, right?

I'm loving the disinfecting qualities the Obama light is providing in DC and beyond.

10. "Is it legal?" followed by "but it's okay if it isn't."

11. Obama has already made such a difference to people like me who've never met him
Can you imagine what it must be like to those who have been working in the belly of the beast? No wonder they're gushing, I am surprised they aren't sobbing in relief. Perhaps they are, when they get home.
