Liberals are just turning the USA into a third-world toilet. Osama Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the Royals never met a terrorist they didn’t feel sorry for or side with. Behold the end of freedom as we knew it.

By putting these inexperienced people in high places it only makes it easier to topple them. See my tagline too.

wow... does he have any military or intelligence experience?

Apparently two years of military. In 1964 he joined the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant. There he received the Army Commendation Medal, and was discharged in 1966 as a Captain..

As for intelligence, he has none. Period.

I dont see any qualifications for CIA director in your brief resume on Panetta. THsi is a joke. Will anyone question this at all. Did he run out of Clinton people to choose from. Why not Lewinsky, she hid blue dress’s well.

The Panetta bio has a reference to a photo with Anthony Lake. Wow, that is quite an indictment.

I would think that this type of position would absolutely require some professional experience in the field.

This is not a place to put amateurs...

Geez - another Clintonista. I find it very strange that he is stacking his cabinet with Clinton people. Hey, maybe she has a copy of that birth certificate......

“Clinton Chief-of-Staff! The “change” keeps coming!”

Prior to that I seem to remember him referred to as “The King of Pork.”

We need to be thinking in terms of these elected public officials as public servants. That’s what they are. Nothing more.

This must be satire.

What do the Clinton’s have on this Hussein creep?
