PANETTA: OBAMA HAS GIVEN UP
Breitbart.com ^ | 10/07/2014

Posted on 10/07/2014 11:59:33 AM PDT by Beave Meister

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."

You are right. How can a guy who has never had a real job give up? He has not given up on sleeping in late, going to the gym, having lunch, bashing Republicans in front of adoring fans, playng golf, going to fundraisers, watching ESPN, and getting high. He is going full speed doing what he does, which is not working.

But....but...but...they gave him a Nobel Peach Prize for “winning” or being “black” or something....I mean, they wouldn’t just give one of those out for doing nothing, right.

That’s got to be worth something, right.

Given up? BS. If that were the case, then he’d step aside for someone else who could finish the job (not that Biden’s any better).

Exactly right. Panetta is teeing up the ball for the Hildabeast. This is all part of their strategy to blame Obama for HIS failures to implement the liberal agenda, all of which and more she will continue to advance. Its the same old line they use to explain the failures of socialism; they always blame the repeated failures on “poor execution”.

Panetta is nothing more than a tool and frontman for her campaign who is out there to prep the battle space.

Immaterial. Has Valerie Jarrett given up? Then it’s time to celebrate.

I bet that *bitch gets transported out of the WH on Marine One before she gets arrested.

The only thing Obama has given up on is representative government.

Even then, 'given up' might be a misnomer as one of Obama's core goals was to destroy representative government.

Right I don't think “O” ever started and FINISHED anything in his whole life.

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

THAT was a back room deal and money changed hands..... If it was just about BEING President, I think “O” could care less.... Instead, it was a business transaction that guaranteed him $$$ for his time.... a win-win scenario. All "O" was asked to do is 'show up' and that 's all he is capable of doing. Others wrote his script and 'carried' him. It's obvious that he couldn't talk or think his way out of anything without a script.

No I don't think he's doing a damn thing for Hillary (nor does he want to). He's hitting Obama and Hillary with the same hammer.

Always said the broad and Petraeus was a setup.

I guess Panetta is now officially a racist.

...

He represents the Clinton wing of his party.

this is bs misdirection.

That is 100% correct. Panetta is a scheming apparatchik whose every utterance is calculated for political gain.

Wrong, O’Zero never was into it in the first place. Obama believed all of the hype about himself from growing up with liberal white-guilt idiots. He never had to accomplish anything while getting praised for doing nothing his entire life.

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.

I agree.

Obama actually has only has one more chance at establishing a legacy. He can still be the President who managed to provide our country with a permanent and irreversible Democrat Majority. Importing new Dem voters whose birth rates will easily outpace those pesky Tea Party types is the key to achieving that goal.

Assuming a success in this effort, Obama then has at least a long shot at two other Legacy Builders: Becoming the recognized “Birth Father” of either Marxist America or, better yet, Muslim America.

We aren’t finished with this guy. I anticipate a very rocky 2015-16.

I do not agree he has given up, when what he wants doesn’t work the way he wants, he just doubles down, true his narcissism demands he be approved, not getting approval, may increase stress but ultimately, only increases his motivation. All that aside, he should have been already institutionalized for the criminally insane.
