Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta conspired with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to slam President Barack Obama on his foreign policy, says former Clinton insider Dick Morris.
"I think Hillary put him up to it,” Morris said in a telephone interview aired Sunday on
"The Cats Roundtable" on New York's 970 AM.
"What Panetta is doing is a hit – a contract killing – for Hillary," Morris told host John Catsimatidis. "Panetta at core is a Clinton person, not an Obama person. By accurately and truthfully describing the deliberations in the [Obama] cabinet, he makes Hillary look better, and he makes Obama look worse … And I think he’ll get his reward in heaven."
Morris, author of the new book
"Power Grab," said Obama's real goal is to get rid of the Republican Party and make America a one-party system run by Democrats.
“The real goal, I believe, is to make sure the Democratic Party is permanently in power – just as it is in California and statewide in New York, where Republicans are really an afterthought and can never really win an election," Morris said.
