Like the article says, Panetta, Gates, and Clinton didn't owe their jobs to Obama, so they felt freer to make criticisms after leaving office.

Some failures are too big to go unnoticed, though, even (once in a while) by those who are paid to tout a party line.

If talking heads never, ever acknowledge a mistake by their own party's leaders sooner or later their credibility goes down.

So if Axelrod ventures a criticism once in a blue moon it could actually help his career (so long as he doesn't overdo it).

They are complete whores to power and money. They are looking forward to attaching to yet another taxpayer funded trough. They are chronic liars so who knows where truth lies in WDC about anything.

Millbank is the Wash. Post’s hatchet/smear man and has been for years.

He won’t know a thing about honest reporting if it bit him in the nuts. He smeared a friend of mine, one of the top American investigators/analyst and scholars of American communism, the late Herbert Romerstein, in a piece on a conference we were attending.

Between the 4 of us, the three main speakers and myself, we had over 160+ years of investigative work/research and undercover operations. Can’t even count the number of congressional hearings we testified at, nor the number of books (at least 8-10 on communism, plus assisting on many others) the we had between us (including one Best Seller), the number of columns and articles written (well over 500, probably closer to 750), plus TV appearances, radio talk shows, etc.

The best that Millbank could do, which was exactly his job, was to smear everyone without presenting anyone’s credentials and accomplishments in the field of internal security.

His loyalty is to the hardcore Left, starting with his Masters at the Wash. Post and who knows where else. He uses Alinsky tactics, mainly ridicule, to smear people he disagrees with.

In a real world of honest people, he would be asking “Do you want fries with that?”.

“They're trying to get on the right side of history while the gettin’s good.”

Probably a bit of both. Obama is where he is, in part, because he's been useful to a whole bunch of people with agendas. It's going to be very hard for him when he finds out what it feels like not to be useful to these same people anymore. That may be one reason he is spending so much time raising money. Money is a hedge when your usefulness in other ways has worn thin.

The possible reasons are that 1) they have been living the lie for so many years, 2) they want to be on the right side of history, 3) they are overburdened by the truth about Obama’s incompetence, 4) they don’t want to be attached to Obama’s and most of his administration abject failure in every effort, etc.

But he’s a cerebral leader,

Say what? The author apparently thinks cerebral means a leader who is absent, uninterested, or on vaycay 90% of the time.

Obama knows that they all know the truth, none of his people are loyal... he knows that if he fires them, they will turn on him. Obama surrounds himself with people like himself. That’s why he does not/cannot fire anyone... they will turn.
