General Petraeus – The Obama Factor

By Erik Zimerman On November 14, 2012 · Add Comment · In Against the Wind, Avvisi

It has been amazing to watch the media and the administration in concert twist and mangle the story-line behind the unfortunate General Petraeus scandal to unrecognizable forms. I have watched details slowly emerge and get twisted for days, with the entire mainstream media ignoring the fact that the General resigned two days after the President’s re-election. Two days… it was not only one day in order to attempt to not be overly obvious, but it was a matter that could not even wait weeks. And it is not exactly clear when Petraeus resigned and when Obama accepted the resignation, he may even have resigned the day after the election. When you get fired from a White House Cabinet position, you always “resign”.

Grotesque. The most glaring defiance of logic (or faith in the intelligence of the voters) is not the absurd game of what a sitting president is responsible for (not the protection of his staff, but the weather), but rather the time game on top of it. Obama IS president… so it is amazing that while he can remain blameless for what happened in Benghazi under his watch, the hurricane (Sandy) under his watch IS apparently a president’s fault, just not his, but the previous one’s. A friendly media’s power is unmatchable. Once the Iraq War turned around due to the Bush Surge, the [...]
