[Now, lemmeseehere, what could possibly go wrong? DHS has 4.5 billion rounds of hollow point bullets, for some as yet unexplained reason, in its cabinets somewheres, the guy loves using drones, and Obama pined for a Civilian National Police Force that exceeded the military's capabilities in 2008. The New York Times writes about it as if its just another walk in the park with Tiny Tim strumming on his ukelele, sidestepping the individual tulip plants on his tippy toes, smoking but not inhaling.
I can see the Joint Chiefs getting a little edgy about DHS encroaching on their turf, asking our Commisar In Chief whyfore does he need such a potent civilian police force when he has all their military forces at his disposal? Comrade Barack, can we do anything, even a teensy little bit, to cut back their (DHS's) presence and muscle?
Where have we heard that exact same story before? Hmmmmmmm???
"Adolph, why don't you invite Ernst and the boys, especially his head honchos out to that lakeside resort and spa for a little R&R. Better yet, make it a surprise meeting"]
"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.
If confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Johnson will fill the vacancy left by Janet Napolitano, who resigned in July to lead the University of California system. The coming nomination was first reported by The Daily Beast.
Mr. Johnson has little experience with some of the issues Ms. 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.
Mr. Johnson, a former federal prosecutor, often sought broader latitude in the use of government power on national security issues than others in the administration, like State Department officials.
He has close ties to the president and was one of Mr. Obama’s advisers and fund-raisers during his first presidential campaign."
