Seven decades later, we can only marvel at FDR’s decision making, especially in light of Leon Panetta’s nomination to run the CIA. During a time of war — and facing threats no less menacing than the Japanese Empire — President-elect Barack Obama selected a man who is singularly unqualified to lead a key intelligence agency.
It’s not that Mr. Panetta lacks experience; he’s been a fixture in Washington since the late 1960s, when he was a member of the Nixon administration.

In the 1800s, the Dims would have given Jesse James a train schedule.

2-He would rather turn the CIA resources inward to focus on political enemies.
3-If you don’t have a grasp for sources and methods, you’re incapable of assigning priorities. (Technically incompetent)
No, Dims would have appointed Jesse James to head the Department of Transportation. Why rob one train, when you can rob them all?
Lots of backstory..

He’s the wrong man to lead anything. Replacing skilled people with incompetent bozos is change we can believe in.
When Iran floats and detonates a nuke just offshore from New
York in 2010,
Obama , Panetta and the Democratic establishment will claim no one could have forestalled that,... as cover!

I’m afraid in a little more than a week, we will start losing our freedoms. We will have a POTUS who will act like a dictator, as much as he can get away with.
