Team Obama may have learned at least one important lesson from Tuesday’s electoral debacle: Americans are serious about national security.
Here’s hoping, anyway.
Just a day after Republican Scott Brown won the Senate seat in deep-blue Massachusetts, the administration’s pick to head the Transportation Security Administration, Erroll Southers, was forced to drop out.

In retrospect, a good thing, that brought about another good thing.

Waterloo Jim, booyah! Senator Demint shows the backbenchers how to hit the bullseye on the perfidy that is BO. Senator Demint as the next Majority Leader in our Senate...think it, say it, make it happen and see the WeeWee’s run.
Southers quit? Another Obama scalp. Man, this is getting hard to keep track of, there’s been so many already.
What a freaking comedy of errors this administration is. But then, that’s what happens when you put a “community organizer” in charge. Rudy warned us!
Everybody see why RINO JOHN and his open borders theme has to be repudiated?
You, too Sarah—iffen you won’t get with the program.
