[It's] a bad idea to let politics get in the way of getting the job done.

Yep. Which is why a smart President turns the job over to those who can do it best -- in this case, the military -- and then gets the hell out of their way. Only if something goes so wildly, obviously wrong with the job that it's clear that those particular experts weren't the right ones for the job should the President step in, and only then to find somebody better qualified for it, turn the job over to them, and get out of their way. Which Obama doesn't seem to know how the hell to do.

Generally speaking, though, it looks like 0blabla is having a troubled relationship with the military. I recall that he couldn't get a cheer out of them when he went on tour, so next time they hand-picked a group of soldiers who voted for him. That's pretty sad.

At least as sad is that the mainstream media don't seem to realize that this sort of thing isn't fooling most Americans any more. Another is that this seems to be characteristic of just about everything Obama has done since becoming President: he ends up turning everybody off about his performance, then uses PR and nothing else to try to remedy that. PR doesn't cut it when the results are so bad and disgusting that everybody notices, and when the results are so important that everyone is concerned about them.
