WASHINGTON — President Obama plans to nominate Jeh C. Johnson, who framed many of the administration’s national security policies as the Defense Department’s general counsel during Mr. Obama’s first term, to become the next chief of the Homeland Security Department, according to administration officials.
Mr. Johnson has little experience with some of the issues Janet Napolitano faced, like border security, immigration and cybersecurity.
During his tenure at the Defense Department, he spearheaded the end of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law that had barred gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military. He also shaped the Obama administration’s policies on the detention of terrorism suspects and on targeted drone strikes in Yemen and Somalia.

Not a racist, probably just another incompetent appointee, like the last one.

“Mr. Johnson has little experience with some of the issues Janet Napolitano faced, like border security, immigration and cybersecurity.”
That’s OK, “Jeh”.
All you have to do is come out of your office every couple months and say, “The system works!”
That’s all the bull dyke did.
I wonder what “Jeh”s kink is. Pedophilia? Standard cockknocker? Tax cheat? Trannie?
All of 0’s appointments have some `distinction’.

Oh boy, another angry black man at the top of the US government to head a heavily armed powerful department for this administration. When the Adolf obozo declares martial law, you can rest assured this guy will carry out Adolf obozo’s order to turn the DHS militaristic heavy weapons against any American who resists their complete take over.

Mr. Johnson has little experience ...
What could possibly go wrong?

No pubbie senator will dare oppose the confirmation of a black man regardless of how unqualified.
