The Obama administration is consumed with categorizing everything it does as “historic” and “unprecedented”. Both are technically true: Obama’s policies are creating ruinations never before imaginable, and there certainly is no precedent for any of the administration’s unconstitutional power grabs.

“On Sept. 21, as the remains of thousands of Americans lay smoldering at Ground Zero, Mineta fired off a letter to all U.S. airlines forbidding them from implementing the one security measure that would have prevented 9/11: subjecting Middle Eastern passengers to an added degree of pre-flight scrutiny.

Homeland Security is a joke when a known radical exposed by his own father as one to our own intelligence agency is allowed to travel here with explosives in his drawers.
Napolitano joins the infamous Louisiana Governor Blanco as a typical deer-in-the-headlights female thinking they can run things they know nothing about.
Give me Norman Schwarzkopf any day, thank you.
I direct your attention to Governor Sarah Palin who was CIC of Alaska’s outstanding National Guard.
Mark Steyn calls her “Janet Incompetano.”
One of the few.
