The only loyalty in politics should be to one’s country.

Let’s hope there are some patriots left.

There are some left. DC is getting em killed in Iraq and Afghanistan as we speak. Soon to be Africa too, maybe.

I also am inclined to suspect that all these memoirs are building the Clinton platform and putting as much space as possible between Hillary and Obama. I wolud be willing to bet that her campaign will call her a “moderate” and argue for a return to sensible middle ground. Watch for others to fall on their sword over Benghazi so that Hillary C is exonerated.

Charles
You can bet that if Obama writes his memoirs after leaving office he will throw everyone under the bus, blame Bush and Fox News, and cry that Americans are all still racists at heart.

You betcha. The only question being how long the blame line will be.

Charles, there is another book whose title begins with Dereliction of Duty: Dereliction of Duty: Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam.

Disappointed. No news from Leon other than the fact that DoD recommended all sorts of sanctions and other things against Russia and Obama did nothing.

Sgt. Mom: " I hope I live long enough for all the really juicy tell-all books published by insiders to this administration come out" Yes, I agree, something along the lines of: Dereliction of Duty: Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America's National Security I hope that I am wrong on this; but, sadly, such reading about the Obama years might be a look back at what greatness America has lost. Or, in the very least, stories about missed opportunities. You can bet that if Obama writes his memoirs after leaving office he will throw everyone under the bus, blame Bush and Fox News, and cry that Americans are all still racists at heart.

Fun fact: Leon Panetta started out his political life as a Republican, a John Lindsay Republican, granted, but a Republican nonetheless. He even worked for Nixon for a while before resigning because, he says, Nixon wasn’t pushing civil rights hard enough.

Wikipedia has a pretty good account of his political pilgrimage, for those who are interested in the details.

The Blue Team is throwing Barry Soetoro under the bus.

A Google pilot is now in charge.

You have show loyalty to get loyalty as a president. Watching this particular president show no hesitation to throw his own subordinates under the bus, I think Panetta is simply doing the smart thing and tossing Obama under the bus first.
