The one good guy.....

From Fox News:

Speculation is growing that Gen. Jim Jones will not last long as President Obama's national security adviser because of the retired Marine general's supposedly poor performance.

Several White House and National Security Council sources told FOX News that the Obama administration is baffled by Jones, who is a longtime friend of Sen. John McCain, the man Obama defeated for the White House. One NSC staff member claimed that Jones is so forgetful that at times he appears to have Alzheimer's disease.

Jones' primary duty is to manage the conflicting views of the State Department, Pentagon and other parts of U.S. foreign policy. But he isn't seen near Obama's side often and he has kept his distance from the media.

Obama officials don't expect Jones to stay in his post past the fall, one source told FOX News.
But Secretary of Defense Robert Gates took the unusual step this week of reaching out to the Washington Post to defend Jones and dismiss the rumors.

Gates told Washington Post columnist David Ignatius that the rumors are coming from "lower levels," not from any of the power brokers.

So basically, the one good guy that is working for him, is now being slandered in the press. This seems to be becoming a regular trend for them. The other side of this, I wonder how much of this is the low level very liberal workers who just don't like him because he is military? Wouldn't be the first time I have heard the military talked about in disdain by this administration's staffers.

God Bless America
