Last I checked "William Gates" was busy with some company called Microsoft and Robert Gates was the "Secretary of War".
No wonder Obama's national security policy sucks.

Jesus! What is this guy's problem! This isn't just another silly blunder.
Joe Biden joins Nancy Pelosi in violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Another case of Team "O" jeopardizing national security. When will it end?
Fox News reports:
Vice President Joe Biden, well-known for his verbal gaffes, may have finally outdone himself, divulging potentially classified information meant to save the life of a sitting vice president.
According to a report, while recently attending the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, an annual event where powerful politicians and media elite get a chance to cozy up to one another, Biden told his dinnermates about the existence of a secret bunker under the old U.S. Naval Observatory, which is now the home of the vice president.
The bunker is believed to be the secure, undisclosed location former Vice President Dick Cheney remained under protection in secret after the 9/11 attacks.
Eleanor Clift, Newsweek magazine's Washington contributing editor, said Biden revealed the location while filling in for President Obama at the dinner, who, along with Grover Cleveland, is the only president to skip the gathering.
According to the report, Biden "said a young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment."
Clift continued: "The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn't be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall."
Why did Obama joke of "Cinco de Cuatro"? Didn't he mean to joke "Cuatro de Mayo"? I don't think he meant to say "The Fifth of Four"? What a moron!
At the end of the clip, he encourages Mexicans and Americans to "party on"?
One can only imagine how many pesos The White House "Cinco de Mayo" fiesta will cost!
Gourmet “wagyu steak” enchiladas? What kind of tequila is being used for the Margaritas?
Tequila La Ley del Diamante, "The Diamond Sterling"! The first Tequila Bottle in the World valued at 1 Million Euros?
President Obama's "My Bad" moment at swearing in ceremony for naturalized citizens who had served in the military to attain citizenship.
He tells the audience "please be seated" prior to a PA announcer telling the crowd to remain standing for the National Anthem!
What a goofball! What kind of President simultaneously insults our National Anthem and uses the phrase "My bad"?
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday he would tell his family to stay off planes or subways to avoid swine flu, prompting his office to go into damage control and the travel industry to complain.
Asked on NBC's "Today" show what he would tell members of his family if they asked him whether they should get on a commercial airliner to Mexico in the next week, Biden said:
"I would tell members of my family -- and I have -- I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now."
He said the problem is that "when one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft."
"I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation, suggesting they ride the subway. So from my perspective, what it relates to is mitigation," he said.
I get chills just thinking about it...
From Notoriously Conservative:
Ever seen Obama without his teleprompter? It isn't pretty. Not only is he a gaffe machine, but his socialist and elitist side slips out.
Obama gives Gordon Brown a DVD set which doesn't work and then an IPOD to the Queen. He's also displayed a pretty poor track-record in vetting cabinet nominees.
Hillary famously gave the Russians a "reset" button and now provides journalist with an opportunity for phone sex?
Are these people stupid, insane or blatantly incompetent! Seriously, does anyone fact check in this Administration?
Fox reports:
Journalists seeking to talk a little foreign policy with high-profile Obama administration officials live from the G20 meetings in London this week were solicited for phone sex instead after ringing up the toll-free number given by the White House.
In a press release, the White House accidentally listed a sex line number for journalists seeking an "on-the-record briefing call with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and National Security Advisor Jim Jones to discuss the NATO summit."
But after dialing, a soft-voiced female recording that was clearly not Clinton asked for a credit card number if you "feel like getting nasty."
After several efforts to make sure that the phone number was correctly dialed, a call to the White House resulted in a corrected press release. "If you are having trouble dialing into the call, please try this number as an alternative," and listed the international line included for reporters abroad to dial.
By this time, the conference call was already under way.
Asked for comment about this mishap, Deputy White House Press Secretary Bill Burton responded: "A corrected phone number on a press release is probably one of the stupider things FOX News has covered lately."
Not only did he upset millions of Americans with his Special Olympics gaffe, he pissed off the Governator's wife!
Tim Shriver, Chairman of The Special Olympics, is the brother of Maria Shriver, First Lady of California. They are the nephew and niece, respectively, of John, Robert and Ted Kennedy.
Eunice Kennedy Shriver (JFK's sister), the mother of Tim and Maria, founded The Special Olympics.
Well played, Obama!
POLITICO reports:
After comparing his bowling to the Special Olympics on "The Tonight Show" Thursday, President Obama called Special Olympics Chairman Tim Shriver to apologize before the program even aired.
“He expressed his disappointment and he apologized, in a way that was very moving,” Shriver said on ABC's “Good Morning America.”
“It’s important to see that words hurt, and words do matter. And these words that in some respect can be seen as humiliating or a put-down of people with special needs do cause pain, and they do result in stereotypes."
Obama told Shriver he wants to have some Special Olympics competitors over to the White House for basketball or bowling.
Shriver is the son of Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver, President Kennedy's sister.
The president had been making an attempt at self-deprecating humor in his appearance on Jay Leno's show by saying that a recent 129 he scored in the White House bowling alley had been "like Special Olympics, or something."
He and his staff quickly recognized the mistake and moved to limit the damage.
While Obama called Shriver, White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton told reporters flying back to Washington with Obama on Air Force One that the president had “made an offhand remark making fun of his own bowling that was in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics.”
“He thinks that the Special Olympics are a wonderful program that gives an opportunity to shine to people with disabilities from around the world,” Burton said.
Aside from the regrettable appearance of a president even implicitly poking fun at the disabled, Obama’s comments came on the same day that he had appeared with California First Lady Maria Shriver, an early supporter and the sister of Tim Shriver.
Eunice Kennedy Shriver founded the athletic competition for the disabled in 1968. Even before the Special Olympics remark, the idea of a light-hearted late-night turn was something of a risk for a president in the midst of a recession.
