Obama’s CIA Designee Sought CIA Cuts, Threatened Director - BrianFaughnan’s blog - RedState: "Panetta’s tenure at the White House — both as Director of OMB and as Chief of Staff — was apparently characterized by a constant tension between him and the CIA, with his desire for deeper budget cuts being the running theme. CIA Director Woolsey had to form alliances with the Defense Department to fend off these deep cuts, as well as to ensure that the CIA retained some ability to track an expanding number of threats in a multipolar world."

As director of the CIA will he damage our nations security again by forcing more budget cuts as he did in the past. This foolish slashing of intelligence budgets may have helped the federal deficit but at the great cost of many American lives. This is how the federal deficit was balanced under Clinton's watch. Will it happen under Obama's? It appears that he indeed is following Clinton's lead.
