I don't get that either. What evidence is there that ANY of this is true?
Good question.
IMHO, most Democrats, and their “Leftstream” Media KNOW that Republicans cannot win elections because:
* Weekly preemptive opinion poll attacks will make them afraid of their own shadows;
* Most voters hate politics, so the “Leftstream” Media gives out only low-information, anti-Republican news every day;
* “Everybody knows” that the Republicans are split so badly on foolish issues such as Obamacare that the sensible Republicans would never support a POTUS Candidate who is not in the mold of Dole, McCain or Romney.
* Republicans are nice to have around to be blamed if things go wrong, but they should never be taken seriously as potential challengers for any public service elected office.
Thus, Panetta knows that he must distance himself early from the Obama-Reid Regime, hope that the Benghazi Massacre can somehow be blamed on some Bush appointed General, and set his sights on beating the unstoppable “Chains” Biden and Mrs. Bill Clinton, “The most admired woman in America.”
Forward!
Leon Panetta seems to understand that Obama needs someone to step forward and rescue him from the current crises he’s gotten himself involved in, just as Vladimir Putin rescued him from last month’s Syria crisis.
However, Vladimir Putin was successful because, unlike Leon Panetta, he did not mince words about Obama’s foolish actions, and, in addition, he was given the opportunity to criticize Obama about those actions and, in fact, about his entire misbegotten foreign policy, on the New York Times’s op-ed page.
Leon Panetta is not Vladimir Putin, either in terms of courage, forthrightness, or the ability to convince the New York Times to give him editorial space, so Obama’s going to have to find another savior than his friend Leon.
Panetta got the shiv from the Kenyan Klown Kakistocrat. Payback.
Must be Opposite Day.
“Panetta can be a real d**k. But once in a while, he goes for the jugular when a Democrat is wrong. I gotta give him props for that.”
I’ll give Panetta this. Among the cast of Dem reprobates over the last 20 years he seems to be somewhat, sorta genuine. He seems to speak his mind rather than recite the Dem talking points. He is no DWS or Jay Carney. More Bill Richardson. A left-of-center person who can pick up the vibe on the street and understand it more than his leftist programming.
I dunno. A Lefty as POTUS? I’d have to take Panetta or Richardson over Obama or Hillary any day. Nightmares be what they may...
Maybe the town has gotten meaner, but why don't y'all get out in "flyover country" and spout what you really think. You haven't seen mean.
At first blush, Panetta speaking at all is always a cue that he is speaking with the Clintons interests in mind.
Then someone suggests Panetta might want to run himself. That never occurred to me, but he is certainly experienced enough, very prepared for the political price and imagine the goods he has on everyone in DC, and the grifters from Arkansas included, even Chelsea pooh.
Their plan? My guess would be to paint Hillary as someone who can reach across the aisle and get things done.
Wait....I know I’ve hear that somewhere before....
They don't believe him so they keep asking, hoping that he will change his reply. Nice try.
Thank you for that post.
An example of why a classical education is no longer taught:
It was a great bullshit sifter.
We sorely need more classical education. It actually taught people to think.
He was born in 1938. That makes him 75 now. On inauguration day he will be 78 and he'll be 82 at the end of his first term, if he lives that long. He doesn't look healthy right now.
Reagan was just short of 70 when first inaugurated.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I don’t think there is an ounce of wisdom in Panetta, and I fear, that he is just as much a Marxist as Obama, he just doesn’t like the process of how Obama is implementing Marxism in America.
In other words, he wants to get to the same objective, he just doesn’t like the road that Obama is taking to get there.
Seriously, I agree with you that Panetta will not be running. There was a time that he was a thought a decent Democrat, but his ambition belied his “ aw’shucks “ mannerisms, as he sidled up to the Marxists.
One last thought on this post: why in the world would anyone who had been intimately involved in an Administration feel the need to affirm that their former boss is "bright" and understands the "issues"? Wouldn't that be a given?
