"...there are some striking problems with Panetta’s complaints about Obama."
There is. Why didn't Leon have the guts to say something while it was going on? What's that? He supports Hillary? oh... never mind...

1. Excellent, this line says it all:
That’s the default view of practically everyone in Washington: Using military force shows strong leadership. Declining to use military force shows weakness. But most folks inside the Beltway don’t even seem to realize they feel this way. It’s just part of the air they breathe…. This is what Obama is up against.
If Obama doesn't play the aggressive war game with made up bullshit lies and excuses for them, such as his predessesors have then how will the next mass murdering **** in the line up for Pres gonna look like compared? A mass murdering lying ****?
This is what is worrying the establishment.
I think that is barry did something rather than waffle on every single thing he's done then people would think that maybe he's got some balls. BUT- he doesn't. He flinches from ever making a choice until ti's too late and then if it fails he blames someone else.

21. Panetta
Has become just another in a long line of Clinton associates that seem to either become open Republicans, or show open disdain for actual Democratic policies, or Democrats specifically.
Yeah..... no.

2. And, Hillary offered him which job? Panetta should retire from public service. He also should have waited until Obama was out of office before slamming him, let alone wait until after the election. I've lost what respect I had for him. Sorry, Panetta, but I won't be buying your book.
of course this sort of thing was very popular around the dump when W. was in office.

17. I'd go with ****ing TURNCOAT. I won't be bothering with his damn book, either. He's giving aid and comfort to the enemy, FLAT OUT. Both foreign and domestic. ESPECIALLY domestic.
Now, pay attention to this- according to the DUmpmonkiez if you don't blindly follow barry you are a traitor to the country. The enemy to them is anyone who dissagrees with them...

5. What's funny is when the anti-Obama hair-on-fire types invoke Leon Panetta, the prince of ****ing Beltway darkness, to support their "critique."

12. The media loves to push complaints about Obama from left and right ...... while never pushing those opposing forces towards a debate with each other. If you are attacking Obama, you can jump back and forth arguing from the left and the right, and the media will never notice the position switching. Thus Obama is weak, and a war monger.

16. If Obama had put real Democrats in his cabinet, not Republicans like Gates, or spokespersons for the
PNAC and MIC, like Panetta, or torture supporters like Brennan, or Bush loyalists like those still running the useless NSA, he might not have had to worry about these kinds of betrayals.
In Jan 2009 he had a mandate from the people who had just thrown out those who created the failed policies Panetta is now espousing. That was the time to find some smart, strong Democrats that he could trust to put in place policies that would have exposed the criminal policies of those Panetta seems to be speaking for.
I support this President's policies regarding Syria, perhaps he learned after Libya that listening to these warmongers was a huge mistake.
Someone has to start calling what they did CRIMES against HUMANITY so it gets fixed in people's minds, and then, when they hear them speak they will give them all the credibility they deserve.
But, regarding all these betrayals, one after the other, of those the President thought he could trust, all I have to say is 'what was he thinking'?

22. what the **** - we've got another war, wages continue to stagnate and it's lookinglikely that another crash is just around the corner. We've got police brutality, NSA spying on us and an AWOL congress fattening themselves on millions of corporate dollars. Federal science funding is at all time low, our education system torturing our kids and health care cost continue to climb.
And we've still got the oligarchs who **** us over every day sniping at each other. Maybe Panetta can star in his own reality TV show with the real wives of Orlando. Jesus, what more does he want?
I thought barry was going to bring light into the world...

53. Wonder what cabinet post Hillary offered him? Leon Panetta, water carrier for hire, Third Way devotee, Hillary bootlicker.
Once Hillary gets the nod in the primary it's gonna be all KristallNacht up in here!

Nothing new from these morons.

He is a typical leftist without a moral center of any kind.
Of course he is part of the Hildabeast brigade,that surprises anyone?
Today there is this article from Reuters.
http://news.yahoo.com/obama-says-republicans-committing-political-suicide-immigration-235109884.html
SANTA MONICA Calif (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said on Thursday that Republicans are committing political suicide by resisting comprehensive immigration reform and vowed to go ahead with his plans to loosen some migration rules on his own after Nov. 4 elections...
So despite treats from Ebola and ISIS he is going to try to open the border more,but after when it could hurt election chances for dumbocrats.
You people are all vile.

Remember these delectable little morsels when we transition to the 2016 campaign.
Remember to have your moles cite arguments like these to savage Hillary from within the Dem party.
Then all the Dems will have left for candidates will be idiot outright socialists like Sanders or Warren.

29. Ah yes, Panetta "turned out" to be an asshole. No one could have seen that coming.
But it seems that there is a long line of Obama appointees that "turned out to be assholes" like:Tim Geitner, Lawrence Summers, Ben Bernanke, William M. Daley, Jeff Immelt, Dave Cote, Jeb Bush, Robert Gates, Gen Stanley McChrystal, Jacob Lew, Jeremiah Norton, Gen Petraeus, John Brennen, Chuck Hegal, Michael Taylor, James Comey, James R. Clapper, Robert Mueller, Michele Leonhart (DEA), Lois Lerner (IRS), Arnie Duncan (education) , Rahm Emanuel, Penny Pritzker, Michael Froman as U.S. trade representative, Republican Senator Judd Gregg nominated to be Commerce Secretary, Kenneth Salazar (DINO) Dept of Interior, etc.
If I missed someone, please let me know.
Barry himself, while not an Obama appointee, is certainly a 24 carat asshole:

And Lois Lerner wasn't a political appointee either, she was an IRS employee who engaged in partisan political shenanigans while we were paying her to do non-partisan civil service tax compliance work. She was stealing from the taxpayers every time she cashed her paycheck.

When there are that many assholes, the biggest one is the one in charge. Valerie Jarrett must be a super asshole. :rofl:

Seriously, DUmmies, when Jimmy Carter thinks you're not being hawkish enough, you might want to rethink that hero worship.

:koolaid: :koolaid:
The economy is wonderful. Your TV says so.
We've got police brutality, NSA spying on us and an AWOL congress fattening themselves on millions of corporate dollars.
I, for one, hope Congress continues to do......nothing.
Federal science funding is at all time low, our education system torturing our kids and health care cost continue to climb. And we've still got the oligarchs who **** us over every day sniping at each other. Maybe Panetta can star in his own reality TV show with the real wives of Orlando. Jesus, what more does he want?
