Flight 253 fallout: Janet Napolitano misses meeting on the Christmas day bomber; Democrats ask, “Where the hell is she?”
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano sleeping at the State of the Union address
On Wednesday the House Homeland Security Committee held a meeting to discuss the failed Christmas day bombing aboard Flight 253. Janet Napolitano was notable for her absence. She was apparently too busy getting ready to attend Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech to be bothered with a briefing about national security so she sent her Deputy Secretary to speak on her behalf.
Apparently she was too busy getting ready for primetime, and she deemed it more important to be seen on primetime television than it was to appear at a meeting on national security.
At this meeting it was discussed what went wrong in Homeland Security that allowed a known potential terrorist to board a plane bound for the United States, yet she didn’t think that this meeting needed her presence? She felt is was more important to appear at the State of the Union address?
The House Homeland Security Committee oversees Janet Napolitano’s department and the least that she could do would be to appear at a meeting that was being held to see where the breakdowns were that allowed this terrorist to almost pull of this attack. Of course according to Janet Napolitano, the system worked so maybe that is why she didn’t feel the need to show up at this meeting.
Democrats on the committee were lessed than pleased at Janet Napolitano’s snub. Chris Carney asked, “I am very dismayed that the Secretary herself isn’t here. I mean it’s probably fair to ask: “Where the Hell is Secretary Napolitano?”
He was not alone in voicing his displeasure with the out of touch Janet Napolitano, Jane Harman was pretty pissed off: “I would like to welcome our witnesses but comment on the absence of Secretary Napolitano. This is the committee with primary jurisdiction over the Department of Homeland Security. She is the secretary of Homeland Security. She is in Washington, D.C. She was invited to testify at this very important hearing, and she should have been here. … I am very personally disappointed that she isn’t here.”
Much like Barack Obama, it appears as if Janet Napolitano does not take the issue of terrorism seriously and that is very concerning considering that she is in charge of the department that is supposed to keep us safe. This woman is incompetant, unqualified, out of touch, and a disgrace; and she should be held accountable for her inactions on national security.
America is less safe with this woman in charge of Homeland Security; she needs to either step down or be fired.

You could dedicate an entire blog to this crazy hag. And don’t forget (I never will) that this clown was on Obama’s short list for Supreme Court Justice. Try and comprehend that.

I can believe that she simply didn’t believe this to be serious. They are only acting out of the public outrage over it. These are the privileged elites folks, they can’t take time out of their busy social schedules to be bothered by petty concerns such as this.
Given that she has little to no grasp of reality, she makes the perfect liberal SCOTUS appointment.

True, they have to appear to be doing some kind of internal investigation, but in reality nothing is going to change.

I agree with rjjrdq and Matt! She wasn’t very good for Arizona and now she is going to be even worse for America.
And how is it that she fell asleep at the State of the Union! That looks Secretary-ish! Wow!

Janet was over her head as governor of Arizona, but her staff covered up. She is over her head again and reminds me of a certain woman governor of Louisiana after Katrina. Its past time for her to go, so she can get some rest and so that the citizens of this country can have a more peaceful nights sleep.
