Why Not Mickey Mouse to Head the CIA?

President-elect Obama has announced his choice to head the CIA.  The nation’s top spy could very well be Leon Panetta!  In his career Panetta created the Monterrey Bay Marine Sanctuary, expanded entitlements, participated in the destruction of the U.S. economy and ensured U.S. dependence on foreign oil by preventing offshore drilling in California, so his subversive tactics make him a natural to lead a spy agency…of a nation hostile to the United States.

Panetta will face real opposition from California senator Diane Feinstein, incoming chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.  She has indicated that she may not support Mr. Obama’s pick.  The real concern here is Obama’s judgment.  Panetta utterly lacks the credentials to lead the agency charged with preventing terrorist work.  He is a budget man, a bad one at that, and an educator.  What is Obama thinking?  Well, surely not about the safety of the American citizen or the health of the nation’s intelligence community.
