Had they reported it more often this would have resulted in less criticism of George Bush over the past 4 years, and we couldn't have that now could've we?
So therefore many liberals will never know this information about Obama's choice of Clinton hack Leon Panetta because they simply will want to believe it . This is nothing more than a cave in to the left that opens America up to immediate attack.
