Like any other leftist, Leon Panetta has no scruples, so he wouldn't resign because of that. The fact is, he's just been PUNK'D and his ego can't take it. No one likes being made out the fool.

Remember, for every cabinet post holder or or high administative appointed post, Obama has a shadow czar....and between the twenty-or-so of them they set the ultimate, definitive policies.

Look for other resignations, including Secretary of Understate Hitlery. Panetta can't be the only administration official who didn't expect tovarich czars coming out of nowhere undercutting their hoped-for policy relationships with the Annointed One.

Greasy as he is and he cant work for odumbo, America what have you done!!!

[Wyatt's Torch]

Leon is stuck in the middle of a pissing contest. The only thing that happens then is that you get wet...

This CIA investigation thing is a transparent way to redirect our attention from the unmitigated disaster called the Obama administration...

Good for him.

He can always join the Mafia...he’s probably learned some cool stuff for finding the rat.

Leon gets no respect from me! He has been all over the place on this stuff. First he says he is with the CIA over Pelosi, and then just after that he complains about a secret program that Dick Cheney and the CIA supposedly had going.

Sorry, but the guy is a dirt bag no matter what he does. Short of converting to Christ and becoming a Republican that is.

Another “Mack Daddy the Zebra” under the bus victim.

[taildragger]

This is Machiavellian...

Panetta was the ultimate Clinton Insider.

My guess?

He took the Job to keep tabs on at least the final saving grace of the Republic the Intelligence Agency.

It is so bad even he and the Clintons want the hell out.

The question is what will the Clintons do to get power back and at least save the Republic from total destruction.

They maybe fellow travelers, but the Clintons do not want it all to turn into Detroit, because where this clown is going it will be that bad. Remember they want something to run, not a hulk of a 54' Chevy that you see as a taxi in Cuba (you'll get the analogy).

[Breyean]

Wonder if Valarie Plame and Joe Wilson are available?

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the..............................HA ha!!!

[Cyman]

If Panetta were to resign, I couldn't think of a better time for it to happen to Pres. Urkel with Ted Kennedy's death and funeral garnering all the attention.

[April Lexington]

Leon, buddy.... you may want to avoid Ft. Marcy Park for a while...

[snowsislander]

At a senior level like this, if there is a serious impasse over policy, then resignation is the correct and honorable course.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Looks like the only member of this abysmal administration with an ounce of integrity is now leaving. Wonderful.

[celtic gal]

When you think about it, the entire cabinet might as well resign and go home now that 0bama has his shadow cabinet in place with a group of tax dodgers, admited commies and xcons. Glenn Beck is on to something.

[OpeEdMunkey]

When Panetta came out swinging after the first Pelosi accusation many people in the Agency were shocked and pleased.

I don’t think they’ll blame him for resigning.

What about this:

[NonValueAdded]

I see it the other way, he should stay there and fight for his people, not let Obama stick in one of his buddies as the replacement.

Leon, fight the good fight; it's not the time to go wobbly as the great Lady said.

[Rockitz]

I hope he stays- he might be the last one capable of standing up against this travesty.
