Rep Peter King: If Panetta Felt That Strongly He Should Have Resigned

Even though Congressman Peter King (R-NY) thought former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s book was instructive and showed what a weak leader President Obama is, he feels Panetta should have resigned if he disagreed with Obama on major issues.  King said, “When you are in an administration, you have an obligation to either speak out and resign when you are in the administration, not get all the honors and the farewell ceremonies and then two years later write a book…if you are asking me should a person do that?  No, if you feel that strongly about something— that it is a moral issue, that you have to be out there—then do the right thing and resign from the office when you are there.”
