Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano (D) has been chosen to serve as secretary of the vast and troubled Department of Homeland Security for President-elect Obama, Democratic officials said. Napolitano is a border governor who will now be responsible for immigration policy and border security, which are part of Homeland Securitys myriad functions.
Napolitano brings law-and-order experience from her stint as the Grand Canyon States first female attorney general. One of the nations most prominent female elected officials, she made frequent appearances on behalf of Barack Obama during the campaign. She was re-elected to a second four-year term in 2006.
Transition insiders have long expected that she would be offered a Cabinet slot, although she had also been mentioned for other posts, including attorney general...
...The Democratic officials said Napolitano has not been officially offered the job but is likely to be named and to accept. The selection was first reported by CNN.

Napolitano has tried to shut down border enforcement at every turn. If she gets this post, it'll be Janet Reno all over again.
I don't know anything about her. What's her angle?
It would seem Arizona is more hurt than most states by illegals. Is that not true? Why does she coddle them? Votes? "human rights"? what?
I can’t wait to see what post Ayers, Wright and Farrakhan get.
Maybe he could just put all the prisoners down in Gitmo on his staff also.
She’ll probably kill the wall/fence and offer buses to the illegals, air conditioned, of course........
Janet NapoliReno...that’s her angle.
D
We know the answer now, don't we.
She's a 'Rat to the core. Enough said.
This is irony. When Arizonans complained about the illegals she claimed it was the Feds job to secure the borders, not the state’s.
Gee, thanks, Arizona. Just what the US needed...an open borders governor to head Homeland Security. We are doomed.
Zero degrees.
Im not looking forward to what the Coast Guard looks like in 4 years, or what they are tasked to do in the mean time.
OK, is there an upside here? Any chance Republicans can win this governor’s seat?
Medical care, tuition, housing, etc, are all gone or limited, so a lot of illegals are returning to Mexico.
Why is the Department of Homeland Security “vast and troubled”?
Has Rosie O’Donnell been making fun of it?
Another member of the Socialist, open borders, pro-amnesty, CFR. (but who isn’t?)

Montemos muchachos!
She can’t even protect the people here in Arizona from the illegal aliens, how does that fool think she’ll be able to protect the whole country?! Well, at least she’ll be outta here and we’ll have a republican secretary of state taking her place.
