Probably cashing his paychecks in the Bahamas, while playing golf

Why should Obama get serious? Each successful cyber attack further weakens America.

Not missing.

Like Benghazi, the White Mosque is probably
behind the attack, against America,
and helped by McConnell, Boehner and McCain.

And this is why the say they need the NSA...

Although I don’t see how the NSA prevented this. Too busy snooping on those evil right-wing terrorists, I guess

“Michael Daniel sees his lack of technical expertise in IT security as an asset in his job as White House cybersecurity coordinator.

“Being too down in the weeds at the technical level could actually be a little bit of a distraction,” Daniel, a special assistant to the president, says in an interview with Information Security Media Group.”

His adeptness at martial arts - he holds a black belt - and how he applies that to cybersecurity.

I wonder if he personally has used his chop-socky to protect Hillary's email server.

Daniel holds a bachelor's degree in public policy from (the Woodrow Wilson School) Princeton University, a master of public policy degree from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and a master in national resource planning degree from the National Defense University.

A double master's degree in Central Planning.

After graduating from Princeton in 1992, Daniel took a job as a research assistant at the Southern Center for International Studies, a think tank in Atlanta. Upon receiving his master's degree from Harvard, he joined OMB as a program examiner in the operations and personnel branch, covering the Navy, Marine Corps and contingency operations programs.

An internationalist lefty mastermind wizard-of-smart academic who's never done a day's work in a company that produces any good or service.

Seems a bit overqualified for czardom in this particular junta. Just another pointy-headed fascist putz.

The incompetence of the Obama administration is staggering.

The fellow who headed up TSA has a BA in Music from a nothing school. His only qualification to head TSA was that he is a negro.

If it weren't for "incompetence" they'd have no competence at all!
