Slow Rolling McChrystal

Typical Obama. Why vote “yes” or “no” when you can punt? He did it throughout his sparse legislative career as pointed out in the New York Times:
In 1999, Barack Obama was faced with a difficult vote in the Illinois legislature — to support a bill that would let some juveniles be tried as adults, a position that risked drawing fire from African-Americans, or to oppose it, possibly undermining his image as a tough-on-crime moderate.
In the end, Mr. Obama chose neither to vote for nor against the bill. He voted “present,” effectively sidestepping the issue, an option he invoked nearly 130 times as a state senator.
So now he responds to General McChrystal’s request for 40,000 more troops by reportedly offering 34,000, but spread out over the next 13 months. That’s not what McChrystal asked for.
Barack is just a boy who would be king. Zero experience commanding anything, much less our nation’s military and he goes for the political gloss. Give the appearance of doing what the General wants but don’t really give him what he asks for. Welcome to the Obama military policy of voting present.
