It's not east being a token republican.

Remember when dissent was patriotic? When people like Hillary Clinton screeched that "we have a right to disagree with any administration?" Forget about it. That's so, like, 2003. You know, when George W. Bush was President.
Things are different today. Now, criticizing a sitting president is wrong. Very wrong. Just ask Joe Scarborough, who on today's Morning Joe accused Leon Panetta of a "lack of character" for criticizing President Obama in his book and public appearances.

It's not east being a token republican.
I remember those "Dissent is Patriotic" bumper stickers vanished off the face of the earth the minute Obama was eleted in 2008.
*elected
He also pish-toshed the criticism of Hagan (D-NC) for missing National Security Committee hearings.
“Hell, everybody misses those hearings; they’re boring.”
I could not believe the abject admission that government is a dumbass game, as presently constituted.
Get some real, down and dirty, ideological interchanges going in those hearings, where all sides lay all cards on the table, and truth comes out — or else — and I’ll show you some hearings that are NOT boring.
Panetta owes his allegiance to the USA, not Obama. If he believes Obama is on the wrong track, he has a responsibility to speak out.
However, speaking out months/years later in a book for profit is more greed than patriotism.
Lack of character? I don’t recall any dead interns being found in Panetta’s office, eh Joe?
He’s a gutless wonder. He should have resigned. Same with Hillary Clinton.
Same with Petraeus
(Satirical view)
He’s wrong. He has lack of character for agreeing to work for Obama and his zoo.
Panetta’s lack of character stems from not sending help to Benghazi when it was only 480 miles away in Sigonella, Italy.
This long time Clinton butt kisser deserves only contempt.
Apparently it was OK with him, and Obama, Biden, Jarrett, Hillary, and Dempsey that 41 Americans should be left behind and slaughtered.
I actually agree with Joe on this. I think it is in bad taste for Panetta to speak up now. It is obvious that the Hillary campaign and its allies like Panetta are throwing Obola under the bus to out some distance between Obola and Hillary. Panetta should have resigned and made public his reservations before the 2012 election when it might have meant something.
No, actually, it's not.
I was being facetious.
How do I know you are not being facetious when you say "I was being facetious."?
Because my lips weren’t moving. :>P
