CIA Director Panetta
Dude was Clinton’s budget director, a political animal, and a chief of staff which makes him qualified how, exactly, to run an intelligence agency?? Ok…he’s supposed to have integrity, which is good and he’s supposedly pretty likeable and he’s all for bipartisanship but, I dunno. He just doesn’t seem all that qualified.
I can understand Obama not wanting to pick anyone who has/had ties with Bush, I really do because of how screwed up everything was/is. BUT that doesn’t mean that he has to go all the way out in the middle of oddville to find someone. I guess I’d feel better if the person he chose had some sort of intelligence experience or, heck I’d settle for military experience.
Someone tell me I’m wrong and why this guy is a perfect fit, please?
wish I could…
I’m with you; I’d much rather see a Jack Bauer in there. Blair seems okay though.
You knew enough to know it was a tv reference…
Panetta will do fine at CIA. One way you can tell is that Jay Rockefeller and DiFi are both really, really pissed about the decision.
Blair was a bad pick too. He sided with the Indonesian government during their genocide against East Timor. Obama picked him to pay off the Indonesian government to keep his Indonesian citizenship records secret.
