“I would love for Leon to resign, walk to the mic and spill everything.”

Panetta has naked pics of Obamma’s mom.

“The scary thing is: who will Obama pick to replace Panetta?”

How about Bill Ayers? I hear he’s an expert on terror.

Let’s hope he’s followed by scores of CIA officers.

Reversal of resignations upon dismissal of O’s AG.

If you have ever worked in China, you know you dont want to upset their Secret Police or any of their other police as well!

Well, Pelosi might be finding out that she might take her LYING lightly about the CIA, but betting that they aren’t!

I hope not. He should not resign. He needs to drop the bomb on Obama’s real background. What a chickenshiite he is if he quits now.

Also, what crook is Obama going to put in his place?

He needs to stay.

The rumor has been going around since Monday. Panetta isn’t leftist enough for the Obama White House.

The CIA has always been the enemy with these people since the 1960’s.

Leon, if he resigns , has successfully completed step one of the Patriot Test.

If he completes step 2 , and TURNS on Obama, he will have passed the Patriot Test, joining the forces of Light against the Darkness of this fascist administration.

Go Leon! Resign and OUT the whole den of snakes in the Obama Caves!!!!

Between this and the WH taking over interrogation, CIA director isn’t a job worth having right now. There is no way the director can do the right thing for the organization when the WH wants to discredit and dismantle it. Personally, I think the CIA are a bad bunch to have as enemies...

Personally, my bets are that OBOZO has become sufficiently deranged with his perceived power, that he will make his closest Friend, Ally, Mentor and Ghostwriter, William Ayers, the New CIA DIRECTOR by decree!......:-(

I wonder if he’ll be replaced by a black panther?

No, that’s just silly!

..look for Hillary to resign at some point and begin campaigning for 2012--running to Obama's right...

i'm sure this has gone through the hildebeast's evil little mind, especially if obomba's numbers continue to drop. it would be amazing to see history repeat itself (1980 when kennedy challenged an incumbent carter), the best part being reagan winning.

I think Panetta probably has some modicum of respect for the CIA and its agents/staff...and sees this “investigation” as a total sham. Of course, he is privy to some of the CIA work not yet forwarded to Obama’s team, and knows such an investigation is dangerous to national security

Well, obviously, according to the New Obama Constitution of 2009, there will be a "CIA Czar" appointed, who will not need Senate confirmation like any of the other 36 Czars. Soon to follow will be the new FBI Czar. At some point, when Obama appoints a "Congress Czar" to direct things over there, the Democrats over there will see what they helped put in place.

... but they won't be able to do anything about it.

I am stunned...frankly, it’d be nice to see mass resignations at the CIA. Hussein deserves the public embarassment and the folks at the Agency deserve to work for a better person.

I envision the entire agency gathering right in front of the HQ in Langley, have Panetta or someone of high rank read a statement like this:

“We, the men and women of the CIA, of all races, creeds, religions and poltical persuasions, have given our time, efforts and minds to the protection of the American people. The current President and Attorney General seem to think we are the enemies of the American people. We are not enemies of the American people—and so we refuse to serve under an administration that seeks to prosecute us. Let Mr. Obama and Mr. Holder find others to do our jobs. When an administration that cares about fighting terror truly comes back to D.C., we’ll re-apply for work. Good night and good luck, America.”

It sure would be funny if Panetta was PO’d enough to drop a dime on 0bama!

Huh. Ya know, a man's with Leon's heart condition should probably not have gone bungee jumping. And if he was gonna go bungee jumping, he should have measured the jump more accurately. Ya know? And, hey, I have no idea how that little round hole in the back of his head got there. Are we clear on that?
