In June 2010, McChrystal was 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. In the Rolling Stone article, titled "The Runaway General," McChrystal described Obama during their first meeting as "uncomfortable and intimidated." <ref>https://hotair.com/archives/2010/06/22/the-rolling-stone-article-as-bad-as-advertised/</ref> National Security Adviser Jim Jones was described by a McChrystal aide as a "clown" stuck in 1985. Others aides joked about Vice President [[Joe Biden]]’s last name as sounding like "Bite me" since Biden opposed the surge.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/stories/0610/38837.html#ixzz0razXNkpe</ref>

Despite his criticisms of the Obama Administration, McChrystal is actually a political and social [[liberal]] who voted for Obama. In fact, he is so left-wing that he banned the [[Fox News Channel]] from the television sets in his headquarters.<ref>https://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2010/06/liberal-stanley-mcchrystal-banned-fox-news-from-his-headquarters.html</ref>
