Sorry it’s been a while since I have updated the blog – I had to go out of town for a few weeks.

There’s no doubt what the biggest story for the administration has been while I was out – the resignation of General Stanley McChrystal as commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. McChrystal and his aides made disparaging remarks about administration officials in a recent article published in Rolling Stone magazine.

“I welcome debate among my team, but I won’t tolerate division,” Obama said in remarks announcing that he would nominate General David Petraeus to take the commander position.

What do you think of the president’s decision?
