Obama madder than hell at Stanley McCrystal over Rolling Stone article video too

McCrystal
EXCERPT:
The top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has been summoned to the White House to explain biting and unflattering remarks he made to a freelance writer about President Barack Obama and others in the Obama administration.

The face-to-face comes as pundits are already calling for McChrystal to resign for insubordination.

McChrystal has been instructed to fly from Kabul to Washington today to attend Obama’s regular monthly security team meeting tomorrow at the White House.

BIG Oil guys have panties in a twist over Obama's drilling ban

Oil execs in London slam Obama's drilling ban

By JANE WARDELL and JENNIFER QUINN, Associated Press Writers Jane Wardell And Jennifer Quinn, Associated Press Writers – 1 hr 16 mins ago
LONDON – Oil industry executives on Tuesday sharply criticized President Barack Obama's six-month ban on deepwater drilling, saying the world did not have enough other sources of oil to eliminate using deepsea rigs.
The massive oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico and the moratorium imposed by Obama dominated discussions at the World National Oil Companies Congress in the British capital, and a BP executive standing in for embattled BP CEO Tony Hayward was heckled by protesters.
Transocean Ltd. president and CEO Steven Newman, owner of the destroyed Deepwater Horizon rig that has spewed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf, said Obama's ban, which is currently being reviewed by a U.S. federal judge, was unnecessary.

Morning after tirade Mika gets donuts from Dick Cheney -was that a code 'keep your mouth shut Mika?
EXCERPT:
Strange moment on today's edition of Morning Joe, when the MJ gang received a delivery of cupcakes from Dick Cheney. Yes, this sounds like the opening scene of some psychosexual thriller movie, but stay with me. The cupcake delivery, facilitated apparently by Start-Up Nation author (for a detailed take on the book, Rachel Sklar has one on offer) and Cheney defender Dan Senor, was made after the Cheneys watched yesterday's show, and determined that Mika Brzezisnski seemed "a little cranky" after she launched into what Senor called "a tirade." All of this raises a question: why wasn't Starbucks smart enough to get a pastry-based non-competition agreement with MSNBC when they agreed to sponsor this show?
