I’m beginning to think more and more that the Obama Administration has in some form or another blackmailed every member of the Congress, thus the absolute silence on the Republican side and the a$$ kissing by the Democrats

That would explain the hiring of all Klinton administration personnel. They have the files and dirt.

Within 4 years, the ranks of the Military and CIA leadership will be decimated. The smart people in these organizations will not work for an anti-American, Rev. Wright-inspired Marxist who will always leave the threat of political prosecutions out there. He will drive morale so low we will see many officers retire and quit.

[CodeToad]

They don’t. It is important to an agent’s personal safety to leave the service with Obama giving away classified materials to our enemies.

This, to me, rises to the level of impeachment.

[geologist]

How can anyone do his job if they are under a microscope and thrown open to the opinion of the public for every action/word ?

It is insane to expose our agencies to the world. they have guidelines, over site, controls, etc., on what they are doing. It is like fighting a war and having to consult attorneys before shooting/bombing/responding to an action against America and Americans. DUMB! DUMB! DUMB!

NO WONDER THE WORLD HATES US ... IT WORKS FOR OTHER NATIONS, TO MAKE US APOLOGIZE FOR BEING WHO WE ARE; BY THE USE OF NONSENSICAL REASONS!

Compared to the world we are more generous, helpful, ... in words, actions, benefits,

The World Bank , The United Nations, our troops fight for the right causes. and we get excoriated for it.

We are becoming ... maybe are now WIMPS!

[Lexington Green]

Perhaps some of our CIA folks should be seeking safety in Syria or Iran.

[cups]

This is a huge propaganda win for the terrorists. I can’t believe what is unfolding in front of me. After this, nothing this SOB will surprise me. Words fail me...they really do.

[Diogenesis]

The pledge of allegiance of the King is only to the Saudis and the overthrow of America.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

” Within 4 years, the ranks of the Military and CIA leadership will be decimated.

If your goal is to undermine the United States at every turn , this makes perfect sense.
If Obama is this bold in public , what is he doing behind the scenes ?

[thecabal]

Great. Let the countdown to the next foreign terrorist strike begin.

[TurtleUp]

General David Petraeus found the right strategy in Iraq, but that put Obama in an awkward position where an American defeat was all but impossible. Fortunately, another appeal to Lynndie England may give Obama the humiliation he so desperately wants in Iraq. Depending on what is in the new pictures, we may find a newly energized Arab world to oppose the military that Community Organizer 44 despises.

In case Lyddie is not enough

Presidents that went to war with the CIA... JFK... Nixon...

[MrB]

As Mark Belling just said,

the left doesn’t think it’s enough to win elections, to win arguments,

they seek to drive their opponents from the field of discussion,

using the force of the government, preferably.

And if given enough cover, they will EXTERMINATE their opposition. This is ubiquitous in historical terms - the left gaining power and murdering all opposition.

[chris_bdba]

We no longer have anyone willing to help keep us safe. Obama sold our national security to boost his sagging poll numbers.

[Jeff Chandler]

Let the countdown to the next foreign terrorist strike begin.

I feel sorry for the people who will be killed or injured by Islamic terrorists as a result of Obama's actions. But only for those killed of injured who did not vote for Obama. The rest will be getting justice.

[conservative cat]

Is he really leaning back in that chair in the OVAL OFFICE?

[colorado tanker]

I couldn't agree more. The people who voted for this POS deserve what they get.

Words fail me to express my level of disgust with this bunch.

[Freedom_Fighter_2001]

Looks like the cabinet room.

[Frantzie]

He hates America and is employed by the Saudis.

[elpadre]

Recall that during the years Senator Church's commission was operating and systematically taking apart the CIA, foreign agencies became gun shy and cooperated with the US the least they could get away with. They did in fact, know and respect Americans in the field, but also knew that American politician care not for the security of their nation or anyone else's.

I suspect that reluctance to trust the CIA still exists overseas, and is now being strengthened by the arrogant behavior of the Obama regime towards national security. It is tough to get good intelligence, but impossible with the Obama bunch.

[Gator113]

This has Ted Kennedy’s fingerprints all over it.

The only way the swimmer could ever become president is by proxy, and it sure looks like he did it.

Obama just set the CIA back by 30 years.... we will pay dearly for this.
