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."

Mooschelle is the fighter in the family...
I guess Panetta is now officially a racist.
Barry seems to have only one priority right now. Flood America with the kind of people Alexis de Toqueville warned us about. The invasion continues.
All this piling on Obola is just theater to pave the way for Hitlery to arrive in triumph.
Day late and a dollar short, Leon.
“...is that logic alone doesn’t work. ....’
As if anyone thinks that the Obamadork is capable of logic.
Given up what? Golf?
I might care what Panetta had to say if he actually had acted like HE cared when he was the Secretary of Defense. He wouldn’t move his family to D.C., and he flew home to California on the weekends when we had a war going on.
Leon Panetta is just a partisan Republican hack.
Oh, wait...
Should’ve quit long before now!
Given up? That implies he actually started something. I dont recall that.
Law prof? Give me a break...what a puff piece this gem is. The guy is remarkable in that he’s completely unremarkable and undistinguished.
Guess that 18th hole will be for another round.
this is bs misdirection.
bs.
this is a total lie.
OBAMA HAS GIVEN UP
Unfortunately, I don’t believe that’s true. He will have the wrecking ball out again soon after the midterm elections.
The “giving up narrative” operates under the assumption that he did once advocate strengthening the country.
That is an error.
This MIGHT be cover for him continuing to weaken America with even greater resolve.

IOW he's always had his way in a campus-like environment.. he's been pampered for whatever reason; he's a left wing black, others felt sorry for him because his fathers and mother walked away from him.
Or simply he's so drug-addled that he can do nothing.
Obama gave up before he was elected the 1st time. That’s why he didn’t know what was in his healthcare bill.
