You know why Keith Olbermann was fired? Yup, Allen West.
Edited on Mon Feb-14-11 04:23 PM by Tommy_Carcetti
Keith Olbermann was fired because he made Allen West the "worst person in the world" one too many times.

You know how I know this tidbit? Allen West told us himself:

http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2011/02/allen_west_says_keith_olberman.php#

That's right. Go ahead and laugh if you want. But it goes to show that you don't mess with someone who has a higher security clearance than President Obama. And you know how I know that?

Yep. Allen West told me again, bitches:

http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2010/sep/24/allen-west/allen-west-says-he-has-clearance-even-president-un/

That's why I'm getting 103 of these:



in velvet and putting them all on EBay, suckers!

1. Believing someone who believes he has a higher security clearance than a US President
Edited on Mon Feb-14-11 04:23 PM by rocktivity
brings an entirely new dimension to the meaning of "circular reasoning!"

5. Read the regs for yourself
And that's assuming that everyone that high up follows all the regs to the letter and never keeps 'unofficial' secrets.

Why would Obama be allowed to know any more about what's going on than Bush Jr. was?

9. BabyBush had access to it all but it was at a higher reading level than
"My Pet Goat." He can not comprehend anything above 1st grade level.

12. Bush had access
just like Clinton did and the rest of them. They don't need "security clearance" they got it with the job.

I'd like to see the guy that decides to tell a sitting President he can't see something because it's past his clearance. That's not to say that they don't try to keep some stuff away, but if the President finds out God help the guy that tried to hide it.

17. There is NO HIGHER Clearance than the President of the USA has.
No one can legally have any secrets from the President...Anyone that say different does not know what they are talking about..

4. You would assume that if he has a clearance higher than Obama then President is not the highest
office in the land?

16. Well, take Carter -- he clearly told us that Poppy Bush said he didn't have "high enough clearance"
to see UFO info --

Therefore, UFO info is even more secret than atomic weapons/military secrets!

And suggested, powers above the presidency --

Another reason why we need WikiLeaks -- !!

Runaway military and national security BS are a threat to demoracy and the freedom of all!!

6. Wow...finally, the mystery is solved!
I never put it together, but since Allen said so, of course it makes sense HE was the reason Keith left!

People actually take West seriously.

Well, Teabaggers do at least.
