“I guess Panetta, at some level, actually believes in his country. “

Maybe, but not enough to follow through. Until one of these underlings actually make good on their threats to walk, it’s essentially a non-story.

“Bet ya’ anything that the fight was with Rahm.”

Street thugs probably use better language, but then again they are clean compared to someone as sleezy as Emanuel.

“Footage emerges of Obama poking fun at ‘foul mouthed’ Rahm Emanuel”

"said reports that Panetta had threatened to quit and that the White House was seeking a replacement were "inaccurate."

That statement is probably technically true. Panetta did not "threaten" to quit.

He probably said, "I'm effing outa here, you traitorous bastards!"

Also, in DCspeak, by not issuing a blanked denial, the WH was confirming the story.

Remember the scuttlebutt after the election that no true intelligence vet would take the CIA job? Panetta is just now figuring out why.

Panetta can’t be at all happy with Obama usurping the job of the CIA and replacing them with some kind of shadowy interrogation czar. Obama is micromanaging EVERYTHING. Or rather, trying to...and the more he micromanages, the more he screws up.

Of course there is something we can do...

Get control of the states who have populations already inclined towards regaining their freedom. We secure those states and make them the beachheads of free America. We can give people a place to run to, a place to be free again. We can give other states with a smaller nads, the courage to escape the marxist tyranny and experience freedom again.

These are things we CAN do, as opposed to the ghosts we have been chasing for decades.

..that the Whte House was seeking a replacement was “inaccurate”.

Because they already have a replacement and aren’t seeking anyone.

Tricky bastards.

LOL uh yea, about all that would be left in the White House would be the staff that actually runs the daily workings of the property.

do not worry if all our military are overseas as bozo said he is setting up a civilian security force of a million strong to match that of the military.

course the media have never asked him about what he means exactly.

you know the media have really done my head in in the last two years, even the blindest dumbest sheep can see that the media are going way over the top with their biased B/S

Not sure I’d actually go that far. He must have sensed a threat to his power, prestige, or potential for getting rich. He is, after all, a democrat, and former Clinton White House flunky.

Which points out the real danger of electing someone with so many unknowns with respect to his background. We should know everything about the candidate. A sitting POTUS could become the puppet of whatever agency is able to get the goods on him. Talk about a nightmare. An elected official being controlled by some agency he is supposed to hold accountable?

But it is hard to argue that that is more dangerous than our country being run by a Soros puppet.

Thanks for providing the cold splash of facts on this thread.

Despite the attempt at a new paint job, Leon Panetta is of the left and would not gotten his position if those ties weren’t long and strong.

Every SOB and B in this administration is an enemy of liberty and of the American people and deserving of ultimate actions involving miles of rope and thousands of lamp posts.

Never forget that.

Well done, carry on.
