Tuesday on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta declared President Barack Obama's approach to be like a law professor, however without the aspect of rolling up his sleeves and to get the job done.

Instead he suggested Obama has given up. Panetta said, "He [Obama] approaches things like a law professor in presenting a logic of his position. There is nothing wrong with that. We want to have a president who thinks through the issues. My experience in Washington is that logic alone doesn't work. Once you lay out a position, you are going to roll up your sleeves and you have to fight to get it done. That is key in Washington. In order for presidents to succeed, they cannot just -- when they run into problems, step back and give up."

"There is a feeling and I have a feeling that the leadership and the president have given up on the big issues facing this country whether it's immigration or a budget deal or infrastructure funding or trade or energy. there is a sense that you can't deal with that. This country needs that. They can't give up."

Something we have speculated on.....and suspected.

“immigration or a budget deal or infrastructure funding or trade or energy”

Translated into the Conservative:

Amnesty
Massive Spending Increases
Wasteful Anti-Carbon Initiatives
Trade Restrictions
Energy Restrictions

Glad 0bama has given up.

I think we'd all be better off if he did give up.

Having never worked a day in his life, Obama was by far the most unprepared person to ever assume the presidency. Think about it. He went to college. Did some "community organizing" and served on some legislatures where all you basically have to do is show up and vote yes or no on some bill. No executive experience whatsoever. Never was responsible for a P&L - not even a P&L for a Dairy Queen in the middle of winter. But most importantly, never had to show up for a regular job ever - in any capacity.

I mean, it's no different than tapping some MTV-watching, video-game playing slacker on the shoulder, who lives with his parents and never had a job, and telling him he is now president of the United States.

This is what the voters of America have saddled us with. Twice.

We do not deserve to be a proud nation anymore.

As if anyone thinks that the Obamadork is capable of logic.

yeah, libtardism is just emotionalism and pie in the sky idealistic rationalization

[mikrofon]

But, you cannot blame Obama because his thoughts are more sublime and his understanding of the world so much more esoteric than the common man.

He’s just given up on trying to educate us & wasting his time on menial matters.....

[molson209]

When did Obama ever try ? All Obama does is read speeches and he thinks that’s enough

[Jimmy Valentine]

Panetta is covering his own a**. He is one of the greasiest operators of the last 25 years. I wouldn't let him hold a $10.00 Timex watch more than a foot from me. He would disappear it.

He has a lot to explain about Benghazi.

[Cboldt]

Can’t give up what you never started. All Obama is and ever was, is a front man. His controllers pump up his ego, and get him to follow their wishes. He thinks he is the one coming up with the good ideas. Ha!

[TalBlack]

“He [Obama] approaches things like a law professor in presenting a logic of his position.

When did he pick up this habit...back when he wasn’t a Law Professor?

[SaraJohnson]

Did whitey make O’Bola unhappy?

[Mears]

“On his own, I am sure he never even would have been nominated for the Presidency.

I think that was known from the get-go.

He was/is the cute little politically correct puppet of the real power brokers. An empty suit————and the idiots loved him.
