#1 "The Promise," a book on Obama's first year in office by Newsweek writer Jonathan Alter. It goes on sale May 19.

How much truth, and how much propaganda?

I don't think I'll be buying one.

#5 I imagine the president presented it as the military getting involved in politics, as opposed to executing whatever he decided. And they made him look both feckless and indecisive, or rather they put him in a position to demonstrate those qualities. If they didn't expect such a reaction, they hadn't properly thought through the players on the battlefield.

#6 I wonder if he stood real close to them and stuck his index finger into their faces.

#7 The book says Obama laid into Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mike Mullen in an Oval Office meeting last October.

With Gates and Mullen on their knees behind him, Barry must have been using shoe store mirrors. Be advised, the beatings will continue unless the ass kissing stops!
