Obama to name Clinton-era border czar for repeat

Barack Obama’s Hope and Change motto got deployed originally in his run against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party presidential nomination as an argument against a return to the Clintonistas. It hasn’t turned out that way; not only did Obama hire Hillary herself as Secretary of State, but 42% of his appointments have come from Bill Clinton’s administration. It should not surprise anyone, then, that when Obama needed a “czar” for the southern border, he opted for Bill’s:

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is naming a “border czar” to oversee issues related to drug-cartel violence along the U.S.-Mexico border and the hundreds of thousands of people who try to enter the U.S. illegally through the Southwest.

An Obama administration official says Napolitano on Wednesday will name Alan Bersin, a former federal prosecutor, to fill the new post at the Homeland Security Department.

True enough...his record is failure...no matter where he’s been. He’s a terrible manager and fairly incompetent. He looks good in giving presentations...thats his only plus-up. Watch for tons of interviews with CNN the first six months....and then 60 Minutes will do a bit on him...and he’ll resign by December. He’s a temp...nothing more.

The thing I find really curious here...you have a chief of the border patrol....so why not let him do his job? The only answer I can see is that he’s just as bad and incompetent.
