Joe Clancy, the man in charge of cleaning up the Secret Service after a series of embarrassing security gaffes, is the ideal person to lead the agency through troubled waters, a former top Obama adviser said Wednesday.
The Department of Homeland Security named Clancy, director of corporate security for Comcast Corp., as interim acting director of the Secret Service after Julia Pierson resigned Wednesday. He retired from the agency in July 2011 after having served as special agent in charge of the Presidential Protective Division, a role for which he was well-regarded, David Axelrod, one of Obama's oldest friends and longest-serving advisers, said on Twitter. "I knew Joe Clancy when he led the presidential detail," Axelrod wrote. "You could not find a better person to repair the Secret Service."
Because of the nature of the Secret Service, not a great deal is known about Clancy's Secret Service career, but his face should be familiar to the American people — he's the balding man walking behind the president and his family in hundreds of pictures of the First Family during the first 2½ years of the Obama administration.

Comcast, eh?
Reduce 0bama’s security. Long live Ambassador Stevens!
I know -- first -- let's fire the person at the very top!
Second -- find the person who has been personally running the president's security -- you know -- the security that's has been completely sub-standard? We'll put THAT guy in charge of everything!!
Brilliant!
At this point in time I find it hard, no impossible to believe anything said by Obama or his spokespeople. The truth is not in them. The only time they tell the truth is when they think they are lying and they are not.
He’s the one who let Reggie Love enter Obama’s rear door.
“Second — find the person who has been personally running the president’s security — you know — the security that’s has been completely sub-standard?”

He’s been gone for several years.

Who better to protect the dark secrets than the one who was involved in them?
Well, he has to be better than that idiotic HR manager.
more of the same
He’s been gone just a little over three years. He was in charge of security during several of the security lapses.
My money sez he is a slimey smelly RAT loving guv parasite.
A recommendation by any clown in this administration does not bode well.
