MSNBC's Thomas Roberts: Panetta Criticizing Obama For Bucks and Hillary Brownie Points
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Elite Dems across America might be scuttling away from Barack Obama. But the president can count on at least one man to stand by his side: MSNBC's Thomas Roberts. On today's Morning Joe, Roberts accused Leon Panetta of criticizing President Obama for base motives: "getting paid" off his book, and currying close ties with Hillary Clinton.

Roberts lame line of attack came after Joe Scarborough and Mark Halperin [citing Ron Fournier] said Panetta's criticism of Obama echoes what elite Dems from Washington to Hollywood are saying in private—but are afraid to express in public.

Thomas Roberts tries to undermine Panetta: Leon’s just doing it for bucks and brownie points with Hillary. Ping to Today show list.

It may be partly true that Panetta is hawking his book sales. I also think the Benghazi fiasco got to him.
I suspect he didn’t enjoy swallowing the lies and incompetence for the Bam team.
He maybe a rotgut Dem but with a smidgen of decency of a little thicker cut than the average LIEberal hack. IMHO.

I am NOT a fan of Panetta, but when he is giving an honest assessment it is appreciated. He probably forced Obama’s hand on getting binladen too.

Astoundingly, no one out there appears to be calling Panetta a racist.

True as true can be. But I'm enjoying the 'rat intramural leg chew anyway.
