Comments on: Biden calls failure to consult with Feinstein on Panetta a 'mistake' http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/01/06/biden-calls-failure-to-consult-with-feinstein-on-panetta-a-mistake/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: DP http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/01/06/biden-calls-failure-to-consult-with-feinstein-on-panetta-a-mistake/#comment-2217653 DP Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:59:21 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/?p=34514#comment-2217653 What is scarier? Diane Feinstein is chair of the Intellignce Committee or Leon Panetta is CIA director. It is called national security for a reason people. The dems are making a joke of it. It protects our rear ends every day. The next 911 is going to be much worse because it will go beyond planes flying into buildings. If we have someone claiming to harm our country or citizens, I say waterboard them till they squeal and then stick them in front of the firing squad. Human rights goes out the window when we are being threatened. What is scarier? Diane Feinstein is chair of the Intellignce Committee or Leon Panetta is CIA director.

Mr. Panetta possesses integrity, independence and an analytical mind. Call him a Clintonista if you wish, but he did perform effectively while serving as Chief of Staff in the Clinton Administration. It appears that Obama's transition team is screening (and vetting) candidates based also on their individual academic achievements and well as political acumen. Panetta may fit better in the SOC position and if PE Obama chooses to reconsider and reselect Panetta for that position, that is cool too. There also exists the possiblity that Senator Feinstein and Leon Panetta don't quite get along... I appreciate PE Obama's methodology in selecting Leon Panetta for the post.

The leader of an organization should be an able administrator, an effective communicator, and have a overall picture of what needs to be done. the "nuts and bolts" of the organization are not really the leaders responsibilities. The leader sets the direction and the tone, they give the vision and the "cover" Panetta is well equipped to handle this the fact is Feinstein's nose is out of joint because she was not asked for her opinion on how Obama should run HIS CIA she confuses her job as oversite as one of control. So far Obama has done what he has said he would do, take a wide variety of people, put them into positions they may never have done before but appear well suited to perform in, give them the guidence and direction they need to set the course and follow HIS plan and then let them do their job (not yet accomplished since is is not yet in control of the government). This is change, this is leadership, this is what I voted for.. for those who cannot see past his color, his party, or your own prejudices I am sorry for you take a deep breath and try, for the first time since Clinton was elected to think about our country working together instead of a party gaining power. I laugh at the many democrats here who cry he is not liberal enough or the many republicans who cry that he is too liberal the fact is he was elected NOT because he was a democrat but of because of what he stood for and what he believes in and what WE believe in and I suspect that he will NOT govern as a Democrat, but that Obama will govern as a President of the entire United States, thats who I voted for and so far that is what I am seeing!

You all thought it was fine when he used a sharp stick to poke the eyes of gay folks with the selection of Warren. Seems I recall alot of blather about how we should just "understand" and stop pushing an "agenda" and yor were heralding his wisdom and inclusiveness. So, now you realize that some of his selections will be from the left and not down the middle as you conservatives prefer. So now join us and take your reserved place at the symbolic campfire singing kumbaya, and as the latest members you get to sing the refrain. Can you feel the love?

Fact is Leon Panetta is a seasoned pro, he's professional and well respected. Leon Panetta disagrees with warrantless wire tapping, he also disagrees with torture, and has no problem with aggressively upholding the United States Constitution and our rights. Given the last 8 years of trampling our Constitution, I want a man like Panetta who is staunch about protections. If the only problem is Ms. Feinstein wasn't first consulted, that's miniscule.
