It took a tough question from Matt Lauer, but after having laughably claimed that "the system worked," Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano has now conceded the obvious: that the security system that permitted Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to board NWA 253 with explosives "failed miserably."

On Today and in other interviews this morning, Napolitano attempted to use her own ignorance as a shield. Each time she was hit with a hard question, her response was to the effect "yeah, we're wondering about that ourselves." She also continued to point the finger back at the Bush administration, repeatedly mentioning that the security procedures in place were formulated under the Bush administration. Whatever happened to "change you can believe in"?

She has to be removed from office. A Bi-polar patient should not be in charge of anyone or anything, even herself.

Knuckle dragging lesbo cretin just like janet el renio... chosen for her “taste” in carpet and not for her qualifications to keep 300 million Americans safe and alive.

Obama has been President for a year. If something needed to be "fixed", why didn't he fix it? Oh, I forgot, his idea of "fixing" the problems is shutting down Gitmo, prosecuting CIA agents, reaching out to terrorist nations, etc. etc.

The protection of United States citizens from foreign enemies -the one thing the federal government IS supposed to handle, is up to YOU and ME now.

How, then, does she explain that they've had a year to "fix" those procedures and have done nothing? Truly a laughable idiot.

Good Lord - and these are our LEADERS.

The Obama regime is too busy monitoring internet sites in the search to keep his past hidden to actively look for enemies of those abroad that wish harm to ALL of us.

peter johnson on Fox nailed her by asking her if she had reviewed the policies when she took over, and she said she did. there is no blaming the Bush administration after that. she fell right into his trap since she would have looked incompetent if she said she hadn’t reviewed the policies! delicious!

[SlowBoat407]

But at least we’re not waterboarding any more!

This lady needs to go. Today, without any positive good-bye statements or any hint of approval. A simple press release saying she failed to live up to her responsibilities in the position and she's being replaced without delay.

The same goes for lots of others in the administration, but this one has to be done today.

This is just so emblematic of the status of the Obama team after nearly a year in office.

The absolutely worst thing you can do at this point is blame Bush era procedures, etc. If, after a year, you haven't taken stock of what's being done under YOUR administration then you have confirmed that you're either not paying attention to your job and its responsibilities, or you approve of the way it was being done, despite what you said on the campaign trail.

Obviously, nothing of the kind will be done today or tomorrow, or any day, but we need to make the demand and make it often.

Let’s see how the msm treats this ignoramus.
