Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Dianne Feinstein - like Mr. Panetta, a California Democrat - issued a statement saying “my position has consistently been that I believe the agency is best served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time.”
An aide to the current chairman of the committee, Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV, West Virginia Democrat, said his boss had similar concerns.
“He believes the director of the CIA needs to have significant intelligence experience,” the aide said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Read More
Why now lawmakers? You didn’t demand intelligence experience when you supported Barack Obama for president. See its unexperience picking the unexperience!

Barack Obama’s controversial choice to head the Central Intelligence Agency—Clinton White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta—has caused quite an uproar among high-ranking members of his own party.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to re-write House rules today to ensure that the Republican minority is unable to have any influence on legislation. Pelosi’s proposals are so draconian, and will so polarize the Capitol, that any thought President-elect Obama has of bipartisan cooperation will be rendered impossible before he even takes office.
Pelosi’s rule changes — which may be voted on today — will reverse the fairness rules that were written around Newt Gingrich’s “Contract with America.” Read More
Is this what the people of America wanted? I don’t think so, maybe the moveon.org and pinky groups but not hard working Americans! States with Republicans in congress will not get a fair representation in congress!
