“I worry that we need an experienced hand in the CIA, but Obama was elected he gets to pick who he wants.”
... and its our job to shout loudly whenever Obama screws up, for the sake of the nation.
This is one of MANY BAD OBAMA APPOINTMENTS. So far, obama’s appointment record has been mediocre to awful. Mostly a bunch of political hack picks, at DoJ, environment/interior, and now CIA. The only good news was his leaving DoD alone, for now. Panetta is the wrong man for this job, and is truly awful and I hope the Republican Senators make some noise about Obama’s bad decisions.
How many times did I read on this forum about how Democrats don’t have right to stand in Pres. Bush’s way when he picked people they disliked...if the person is constitutionally qualified congress should not interfere...or when power is achieved by them, they have no right to squawk. Obama won...if the GOP is seen as truly obstructionist in these times, they will lose in 2010 not to mention 2012.
