Scarborough Accuses Panetta of 'Lack of Character' For Criticizing Obama

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.

Whatever happened to “dissent is patriotic?” Ping to Today show list.

PS: for those who dare, here’s that classic YouTube of Hillary screeching about the right to criticize any administration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJxmpTMGhU0

When dissent was Patriotic? Like in the run up to the invasion of Iraq? No, not so much.

Scarborough continues the GOP/Romney Agenda of supporting
Obola, Ebola, EV-68 and IS against the American people.

Wonder if his dead/murdered secretary would have agreed.

Leon Panetta should have immediately resigned the moment Obama/Jarrett/Clinton pushed him into the dark side. Now he has 20/20 hindsight and a political agenda full of half truths.

You beat me to it.

Can’t tell the truth about the black guy. No sir.

The pot calling the kettle black.

[b4its2late]

Yep. I remember that. I think she was in Buffalo.

What’s a Scarborough and why do we care what he has to say?

[vetvetdoug]

Now he criticizes Obama. Where was he while the four men in Benghazi were dying?

[ThomasMore]

This is all deflection/distraction away from the real issue.

The real issue is that Obama IS to blame for all the screw-ups because he WAS advised differently but refused that advise. It doesn’t matter “what, when and how” Leon Panetta or anyone else writes about their experience in this administration. If they are telling the truth is all that matters. And it’s the TRUTH that we should be squawking about.

Leon Panetta never will be anything but a 2 bit partisan, Clintonite hack that doesn’t have the character to do what’s right.

The 2 bit hack is trying to cover for himself and Hillary that’s all.

Let’s don’t build him into something he’s not, a man of character doing what’s right for the country.

I’m sure he had the same opinion about those from the Bush administration....

Kabuki theater is very entertaining.

Yo, JoJo, I suppose it demonstrates a lack of character (and is also racist) to point out that Obama is pathologically dishonest, certified 57-states-stupid, incompetent, lazy, hangs with communists, has lost the war won in Iraq, has opened the borders to disease-ridden/vermin-infested illegal aliens, undermined the US economy and its credit rating, is in the process of ruining the US healthcare system, etc.
Or maybe you are just a laughably ignorant goofball.

[ken5050]

True..but with one key point to focus on. Many think that Panetta, a long time Clintonista, is doing this in part to help Hillary try to put some space between her and Obama. There may be some truth in that, but I think that Panettta, from his time as CIA head and then SecDef, know how bad things are, AND ARE GOING TO GET EVEN WORSE, in Iraq and Syria, and he’s trying to protect his own reputation. Hillary will get hurt from all this.

[manc]

weird because when people came out against Bush especially Colin Powell then the left said it was good there was dissent .

Wonder if his dead/murdered secretary would have agreed.

Always wondered why he got out of politics but always knew he was hiding something. "Scars" was slimy the first time I saw him interviewed - that image never left me.

[Delta Dawn]

Well, Scarborough would know about, ‘Lack of Character’...
