Seantor Joe Biden chided Barack Obama (again) for not consulting the head of the Senate intelligence committee when he named a completely inexperienced 70-year-old Clinton crony to run the CIA.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein bristled at the fact that she was not notified — or anyone in Congress for that matter.
Obama later apologized to Feinstein, but that wasn’t enough for Biden.
Sen. Biden sided with the chairwoman, saying Obama made “a mistake.” Well, at least Biden is honest.
Chatting with reporters after he was sworn in for a seventh term in the Senate, Biden called it “a mistake” that the Obama transition selected Leon Panetta as CIA director without consulting the Senate intelligence committee.
“I’m still a Senate man and I always think this way. I think it’s always good to talk to the requisite members of Congress,” Biden said. “I think it was just a mistake.” (LINK)
