First Woman Is Chosen to Lead Secret Service

WASHINGTON — President Obama on Tuesday appointed Julia A. Pierson, a longtime Secret Service agent, as the first woman to head the agency best known for protecting the president, vice president and their families.

Ms. Pierson, the chief of staff to Mark J. Sullivan, who retired as director last month, will take over at a time when the Secret Service is still recovering from a prostitution scandal last year that held it up to public ridicule, generated Congressional hearings and cost a number of agents their jobs.

The appointment represented a milestone for law enforcement, putting a woman at the top of an agency with a storied past and a Hollywood-fueled image of Clint Eastwood-style men with sunglasses and earpieces stoically guarding the commander in chief at home and abroad. Mr. Obama has also installed women as directors of the Marshals Service and Drug Enforcement Administration, but the Secret Service has a unique visibility.

Beat the attacker with heavy assault purses, mace him, blow a rape whistle, then have him hauled off on “pervert charges”!

How do they all sleep at night, knowing that by protecting 0bama they're ensuring that America be destroyed? They are all complicit for ensuring that happens.

By the way, are the Secret Service the ones who finally told foreigner 0bama what Americans do when their National Anthem is played?

Still, its promotion by discrimination.
Obama never looks at resumes, records,performance, integrity.
Its who has the most points for having vaginas, certain skin colors,religions, and most of all their level of marxism and ass kissing.

Rest assured this individual was carefully vetted not just for her vagina but left leaning world view, a resentment of US superpower status, and unquestioning loyalty to dear leader.

The wife and I were watching the SeeBS news when they announced this great event.
My wife looked at me and asked,”I wonder if she’s gay.”
I was thinking the same thing. Everytime you turn on the tv or watch a movie, BAM. Another gay actor/pretender.
How’s does less than 2% of the population generate so much notoriety?
Retards, I tell you. The whole bunch.........

Seriously, who cares? The alleged obama offsprings are vacationing at the Atlantis resort for Easter week while the people’s White House is closed to tours because there’s no money after the vacations these pieces of crap take?

I sent that photo to a democRAT friend before the election in 2008. He would not believe it was during the National Anthem.
I sent him the YouTube video of the actual event. No comment, and he still voted for the idiot fraud, twice.
You just can’t help stupid.

The Vagina Appointments continue... cool! I mean I think that’s cool. Sarah Palin in 2016 would be mighty fine.

I looked at her picture and my first thought was, “I’ll be damned. She’s not black!”
