Criticism of President Obama by former administration officials has Washington Post op-ed columnist Dana Milbank asking where the loyalty is:

Any theories on why Obama commands so little loyalty from likes of Panetta, Gates, Clinton?

Ask and ye shall receive:

@Milbank @instapundit There's no loyalty to someone you cannot respect.

@Milbank @instapundit B/c he's a lame duck who made errors that could hurt potential candidates in future elections if they campaign w/ him.

@Milbank @instapundit Now is the perfect time to throw him under the bus first possible '16 campaigns.

@Milbank he's not the type of leader that inspires confidence and loyalty?

@Milbank To be expected from a "Team of Rivals." Clinton & Panetta were Bill Clintonites first, Gates a Bush man.

Distaste for tan suits "@Milbank: Any theories on why Obama commands so little loyalty from likes of Panetta, Gates, Clinton?”

You get what you give @Milbank @instapundit Everyone knows Obama wouldn't hesitate to throw them under the bus if expedient.
