Six Out of Ten Active Duty Military Service Members Uncertain or Pessimistic of Obama as Commander in Chief

Barack Obama as CIC Poll

Is this a surprise that active duty military members have little or no confidence in Barack Obama as Commander in Chief?  How is this Harvard-trained lawyer, Chicago Community Organizer qualified to lead the military in the time of two wars?

When asked how they feel about President-elect Barack Obama as commander in chief, six out of 10 active-duty service members say they are uncertain or pessimistic, according to a Military Times survey.

In follow-up interviews, respondents expressed concerns about Obama’s lack of military service and experience leading men and women in uniform.

“Being that the Marine Corps can be sent anywhere in the world with the snap of his fingers, nobody has confidence in this guy as commander in chief,” said one lance corporal who asked not to be identified.

Remember when the press hammered Bush on military re-enlistment rates during the height of the Iraq War. Flap wonders how those rates will hold up now with Obama as President.
