From the article:

“Ms. Hathaway had initially been considered a leading contender to fill the cyber post permanently. She lost favor with the president’s economic team after she said it should consider options for regulating some private-sector entities to ensure they secure their networks, said cybersecurity specialists familiar with the discussions. Being a holdover from the Bush administration didn’t help either, they said.

In February, the White House tapped Ms. Hathaway, a senior intelligence official who had launched President George W. Bush’s cybersecurity initiative, to lead a 60-day cybersecurity policy review. Ms. Hathaway completed her review in April, but the White House spent another 60 days debating the wording of her report and how to structure the White House cyber post. National Economic Adviser Larry Summers argued forcefully that his team should have a say in the work of the new cyber official.”

This the one that was busted for shoplifting AND running from the police when caught?

That whole “content of their character” is a bit inconvenient for Obama, eh?

Onada is doing what Bush never did—he’s getting rid of Bush hold overs. I think Bush never heard the story of the Trojan Horse.

Waitng for Barack Obama to step down “for personal reasons” and “it’s time to pass the buck”.

He’s in over his head and unqualfified (skill set) for the presidency. We deserve better than Soros’ sock puppet.
