Perhaps leaders in Washington today might consider Jefferson's description of how he and his contemporaries in the early days approached matters of interest for the new nation:

Thomas Jefferson:

"Sitting near me on some occasion of a trifling but wordy debate, he asked how I could sit in silence hearing so much false reasoning which a word should refute? I observed to him that to refute indeed was easy, but to silence impossible. That in measures brought forward by myself, I took the laboring oar, as was incumbent on me; but that in general I was willing to listen. If every sound argument or objection was used by some one or other of the numerous debaters, it was enough: if not, I thought it sufficient to suggest the omission, without going into a repetition of what had been already said by others. That this was a waste and abuse of the time and patience of the house which could not be justified. And I believe that if the members of deliberative bodies were to observe this course generally, they would do in a day what takes them a week, and it is really more questionable, than may at first be thought, whether Bonaparte's dumb legislature which said nothing and did much, may not be preferable to one which talks much and does nothing. I served with General Washington in the legislature of Virginia before the revolution, and, during it, with Dr. Franklin in Congress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at a time, nor to any but the main point which was to decide the question. They laid their shoulders to the great points, knowing that the little ones would follow of themselves. If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send 150. lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, & talk by the hour? That 150. lawyers should do business together ought not to be expected."

Is Leon the Panetta considering running for POTUS against the “Most Admired Woman in America?”

Whatever will Mrs. Bill Clinton do if that is true? Oh me! Oh my!

BTW, wasn’t Leon P. put in charge of operations by Barry S. on the night of the Benghazi Massacre?

Sounds like a lack of leadership quality to me - - - .

A couple of weeks ago Panetta also spoke against Obama regarding Syria.

A hands-off President is lazy and inept. That's what we have right now.

“This president — he’s extremely bright, he’s extremely able, he’s somebody who I think certainly understands the issues, asks the right questions, and I think has the right instincts about what needs to be done for the country.”

Five lies in one sentence. Pretty good, even for a Clintonista.

Panetta’s son is navy Intel, and good ole Leon let those Bengazi SEALs die

I think that says a very lot.

“This town has gotten a lot meaner in the last few years.” Relationships have deteriorated.

This can be traced to, and directly correlated with, the rise of the new media and the demise of the Democrat "mainstream" newsroom monopoly on the selection, dissemination, and spin of the daily news.

Panetta can be a real d**k. But once in a while, he goes for the jugular when a Democrat is wrong. I gotta give him props for that.

Leon Panetta seems to understand that Obama needs someone to step forward and rescue him from the current crises he’s gotten himself involved in, just as Vladimir Putin rescued him from last month’s Syria crisis.

However, Vladimir Putin was successful because, unlike Leon Panetta, he did not mince words about Obama’s foolish actions, and, in addition, he was given the opportunity to criticize Obama about those actions and, in fact, about his entire misbegotten foreign policy, on the New York Times’s op-ed page.

Leon Panetta is not Vladimir Putin, either in terms of courage, forthrightness, or the ability to convince the New York Times to give him editorial space, so Obama’s going to have to find another savior than his friend Leon.

Maybe the town has gotten meaner, but why don't y'all get out in "flyover country" and spout what you really think. You haven't seen mean.

Asked repeatedly whether he was being correctly understood as critical of President Obama...

They don't believe him so they keep asking, hoping that he will change his reply. Nice try.

I don’t think there is an ounce of wisdom in Panetta, and I fear, that he is just as much a Marxist as Obama, he just doesn’t like the process of how Obama is implementing Marxism in America.

In other words, he wants to get to the same objective, he just doesn’t like the road that Obama is taking to get there.

All the sycophant reporters have sailed their leaky press boat across Lake Obama. They've now reached the point of no return...man the buckets.
