VERY interesting... Obama has his minions in every facet in the bureaucracy. Most will do what they feel Obama wants regardless of their orders. BUT, Obama will still command and control them from his hacienda in Cuba. One way he will do it under the radar will be anonymous blog posts or messages over facebook. Now... HAHAHAHAHA.

Getting a handle on it will involve coming up with rules and procedures that people will actually follow, ...

Security is not convenient.

The Unclass side will have to come under controls like the secure side.

Removable media outlawed, or restricted (shades of hellary), etc.

Oh yeah, fire everyone you catch. THAT will stop things FAST.

Institute a tiger team to hit every UNCLASS Govt building and install blockers for certain sites on all internet access points. Confiscate any visible personal cell phones.

They should also blockers on all Govt systems to shutdown any pornsites.

“EPA Says It Released 3 Million Gallons Of Contaminated Water Into River.”

I heard that the spill enabled them to make the area a Superfund site, which they wanted and residents fought for YEARS.
