The democrats see everything through the lens of their out of focus political goggles. In their view, down is up and left is right. The urgency of now has caused them to lose track of their responsibility to those who they should be obliged to represent. At least the "party of no" has heard the American people and is trying to slow down the juggernaut of big government take over of our lives. Sometimes, less is more.

[NO is a definitive answer
-- a decision. Don't expect too many of them
(real decisions) from a coward who voted PRESENT
in his first legislative job and showed up about
13 times for his last one. -ED]
Napolitano was a 'quota' appointment. Obama gave this most important job to a woman without any experience in any of the areas that Homeland Security deals with.
During the Ft Hood shooting Obama ordered her hidden so they could pretend that the major's assault wasn't a terrorist act. So when she finally spoke she gave a speech about how our borders were secured and we could start immigration reform. Now after the Nigerian attack on an airline she said the system worked and mainly spoke about how she had no opposition with TSA officers being unionized. As I said she is a political hack, nothing more.
If we continue to have terrorist acts committed against us then Obama will have to pay a price. After all W was blamed for everything negative that happened during his administration...why will it be any difference with Obama?

Thank you [see

Clinton's chasing of interns instead of
terrorists resulted in 9/11. For perhaps the

Good read Eddo. Perhaps
the root cause of Democrats pointing fingers at
conservative's ire over homeland security runs a
little deeper than many understand or are
willing to admit. Here's another good read:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamescorum/100021061/how-leftist-peace-groups-are-helping-terrorists/
We have our own home-grown
green/socialist/communist obfuscating on his
blogs about the great struggle of the masses and
the sins of the US, yet he and his sycophants
fail to recognize the very tyranny that they
support. If and when the next airliner is bombed
or hijacked and flown into a building, expect
from these folks a litany of excuses blaming the
US and a complete pass given to the terrorists
that the left supports. They certainly wouldn't
want to talk about their own dirty linen.

I want the government to
stay out of my life, no more of their
interfering with my life, telling me what care
to drive, what to heat and cool with, what foods
to eat, how to educate my child no more saying
Merry Christmas or if someone would say God
Bless the liberals would have
heart failure . The house the senate and
the president have the lowest
approval rating for any administration is
decades. they don't know what to do and they
prove it everyday and certainly every time they
open their mouths another lie pops out. And I am
furious Pelosi used 3 planes to take her and her
cronies to Copenhagen
and guess who gets to pay for that luxury. This
bunch of liberals are the worst people i have
ever seen in my life they are power hungry and
their ignorance is just a bit bigger than than
their super egos. And they lie every time
they open their mouths someone needs to put this
bunch in hibernation vote um out of office 2010
hopefully the conservatives will get in control
and save our country before China owns us

know !
Making sure that the general public knows, and
clearly understands, "beyond any reasonable
doubt" that she is an "incompetent fool" in
regards to running the Department of Homeland
Security !
Perhaps we should all start gathering up in
groups across the U.S. to learn how to sing "kumbaya",
in P.C. harmony, and in other languages too, so
as to be fully prepared, and able, to thwart off
any future Homicide Bomber and Terrorist attacks
in U.S. Air Space, and on U.S. soil ?
That may be the only weapon we might have left
in our arsenal to defend ourselves with after
another year, or few years, of the P.C. Kumbaya
people like Obama and Janet Incompitano !

attack occurred while Obama was in office, so it

[GWB not only assumed
responsibility but his administration
implemented a plan that kept our homeland
incident-free -- busting countless plots along
the way -- for the remainder of his term. The
big kommie kriticism has always been that he was
overzealous in obtaining vital intelligence. An
independent investigative commission came to the
conclusion that previous administrations had
ignored serious intelligence and homeland
security lapses. Who knows what else they would
have uncovered had Sandy Burglar not stuffed
contraband classified documents in his shorts
like a jockbomber?
The larger question is: Who will Obama blame for
Ft. Hood, the jockbomber and, God forbid, the
next incident? He certainly can't blame the
"overzealous" former president, and if he takes
responsibility for turning away from the
successful practices of the Bush administration
then you libs were wrong all along. Right?
Right? -ED]
If you will look closely
at Obama's track record on Islam, He has gone
VERY soft on ANYTHING to do with Muslims. He
always plays it down or delays or talks a lot
but does NOTHING...where do you think his heart
lays? If he is not a Muslim he is a Muslim
sympathizer. The actions speak MUCH louder than
his words...Do not expect a hard line from this
Muslim...

Wow. Who was president on
Sept. 11, 2001. It wasn't Obama. It wasn't
Napolitano. If that had happened on Obama's
watch the repubs would be calling for
revolution. Y'all are two-faced and don't make
much sense.
Anonymous
[You conveniently miss the
point that the guys on whose watch 9/11 occurred
devised a plan -- and stuck to it -- that was
good enough to insure that it wouldn't happen
again while they were on the scene. Bush
himself never laid the blame on Clinton but
concentrated, instead, on insuring that his own
mission would succeed. Among the things that
Obama "inherited", he chose to ditch the most
successful of Bush's strategies and is now
reaping what he has sown while we are not being
properly protected as per his oath of office.
Homeland security is the foremost responsibility
of that office, so who's two-faced? -ED]
