I believe George W. Bush put her in her position. George was clueless.
Have a relative that works for DARPA as a high level manager. Has an incompetent employee he inherited after previous boss retired. This employee is totally inept at her job but it would take about 3-5 years to get her fired using the system they have. By then she'll be retired, so she gets crap assignments until then!!!
She was appointed by Obama on December 22, 2010. It seems that you're the clueless one.
