After reading this, it reminds me of many general officers that I know. Their time is more valuable than those that work for them.

The expected outcome of an arrogant ass with a messianic complex.
He does have a lot of sycophants to deal with. Perhaps they are delaying him.

Good read, thanks for posting it. Reading the excuses of Mark Lindsay does not in any form or fashion, negate that Obama is arrogant and more than likely will not lead by example.

He is above everyone and they will have to wait for him.
My mother taught me that being on time was the proper thing to do and was a sign of respecting the people that you were to meet and it showed that you were professional.
Guess Bill and Big O would not make the exfil to our standards would they?

Couldn't pass up the YouTube link in this.
"Yes we can" may turn into "I apologize for having missed your initial presentations".

Think I read a QP's saying, "Don't be light, late or last!" 
And you are always on time, I know...for pert-near certain, especially when dealing with those beautiful Latinas!!!

Yes, Being on time for linkup means you get 1-2 drinks before thay show up late.

Is so true, being on-time shows respect, and professionalism. Cannot stand when people say they will be at a certain time, and then arrive late. To me, that is a sign that they are lacking in some aspect. 
IMHO,

If he cannot show at least a modicum of respect by showing up on time, then he should be docked $1000 for every minute, and receive a counselling statement! I am sure that TS and TR are very adept at handing out a few to him! Wouldn't mind being the fly on that wall if it happened.

Oops. I didn't say that. And no, I don't know how to salsa. Heck, I don't even like that kind of music. Besides how could I do any of that sort of thing when we were working all the time, mostly in the field?
