AKA Pissing Contest.
So did Stalin and his successors. Up to and including Putin, I suspect.

Like Obozo wants to protect our national security! What a joke!
Uh-oh. That sounds to me like what Blair was telling him wasn't what he wanted to hear, so he's ignoring it. He'll replace him with somebody whose intelligence briefings fit his preconceived notions and agenda.
The question to ask is;
More out of Intel Agencies For What and For Whom; if this is just a management and training issue, why is it news?
He’s a little boy who wants more power, he couldn’t care less about national security.
In short, Leon Panetta is ostensibly useless.
Big time.
Sure they hurry in all this penny-loafer and cufflink-inpsired hyperlegalism, put HQ out of the interrogation biz, and then wow, guess what..!!?
NO MORE INFO...!
So that gives them ONE option; stare, locate, and vaporize. Then repeat. The man is uniquely unqualified for this most delicate and complex struggle.
Who in their right mind would join up NOW...?
Has the Gorelick Wall been revitalized by Obama’s Brain Trust?
Obama wants a brown nosing ,butt-sucking sycophant in charge of intelligence.
he isnt interested in intelligence, he wont do anything when he has it.
Interesting you should mention Gorelick - look who got a new job:

I'm willing to vent the contents of my spleen onto Obama. It's more than he's currently getting, so he should be happy as a clam to get it.

Obama Has “More Confidence” in Brennan?

Ive never been a huge fan of Admiral Dennis Blair as Director of National Intelligencenor of the institution of DNI, for that matter. A fine naval officer, Blair seemed out of his milieu as DNI, often unaware of basic facts that someone in his position should know. Part the problem is inherent in the DNI conceptthe conceit that some all-seeing super-bureaucrat could, simply by virtue of high rank, a big staff and an even bigger budget, fix all the problems with Americas intelligence community. But some of the problems resided with Blair himself. The Obama administration has come to the same conclusion and asked Blair to resign.
So far so good. But reading through the report by ABCs Jake Tapper one comes across this hair-raising assertion: the White House made it clear that it had more confidence in others, such as counterterrorism and homeland security adviser John Brennan ...
More confidence in Brennan? Really? To understand how terrifying that assertion is, one does not even have to look much past this week.”
She screws America on intelligence and comes up smelling like a rose.
She even gets appointed to the 911 Commission to cover her tracks.
Blessed Dem operative. To say the least.
