Julia Pierson… — 20 Comments

  1. More experts being paid by fed money. Musical chairs. Hoe over there is grabbing his.

  2. Depends in what your definition of deck chairs is. Is there a black divorced Muslim single mom lesbian survivor of ebola who’s a former Democrat campaign manager available to fill the position? Assuming there is, the Titanic will continue on it’s current trajectory.

  3. Neo:
    But will any of it change anything for the better, or is it just a case of re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?

    The answer to that question is to be found in asking WHAT has been changed for the better as a result of the efforts of the Obama Administration.

    Even Jimmah Carter had some positive results, such as Camp David and deregulation of some industries- was it airlines and trucking?

    This administration? I am reminded of the story- perhaps apocryphal- of President Eisenhower being asked at a press conference what had been the accomplishments of his Vice President, one Richard Milhous Nixon. President Eisenhower, so the story goes, replied that he would ponder the question over the weekend and get back to the questioner.

  4. It is shocking that the Praetorian Guard aka Secret Service, which specializes in disrupting the lives of ordinary, law abiding citizens whenever Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Obama moves about on his fund raising or vacation travels, is so incompetent on its home turf.

    If “Obama, the Incompetent” (who thinks it is spelled “Omnipotent”) wants to bring the agency up to snuff, I suggest that he hire Gen McChrystal, Gen Allen, or another of the other superb military commanders, whom he cashiered.

  5. Maybe, deep down, the entire Secret Service just doesn’t really care if Barry lives or dies.

    After all, would you take a bullet for somebody like that?

  6. Hussein O has increased American power.

    Before we were fighting AQ. Now we are AQ’s leaders. That’s an improvement in the war.

  7. No surprise here, she was history as soon as democrats started ripping in to her during her Senate hearing the other day.

    But she is the sacrificial lamb Obama needed and its only going to get worse because the fed’s problems are systemic, they stem from the top and her resignation indicates that the systemic problems will not be addressed and morale will sink even lower.

    When a company has a long train of scandals and low performance, you don’t fire the COO, you clean house, starting with the CEO, which in this case would be Obama.

  8. Just exactly WHY was she appointed in the first place? Affirmative action? I could say something rude about her, but I will stifle myself.

  9. On Nixon. He ended the Kennedy/Johnson war in Vietnam. Jimmy Carter got a Nobel Peace Prize for ending the Israli Palistinian conflict and Obama got one for being of color. I guess that the Nobel doesn’t go for real achievement, only left wing masturbatory fantasies. (Sorry for being rude!)

  10. Actually I don’t see what the big deal is. He’s seldom at home anyway – either loafing on a beach somewhere, playing golf, blazing some Choom with Jayzee, or giving pep rallies to adoring imbeciles, they probably send everyone home out of boredom. What’s bodies are there to guard?

  11. “I don’t see what the big deal is.”

    Well, if security for the President is that bad, then say the State of the Union speech might be something to avoid… I mean, we could lose the entire federal government’s top management in one fell swoop. Wait… 😉

  12. Changing the top exec doesn’t by itself reform the institutional culture.

    The VA is the prime example of constantly changing top execs not reforming the institutional culture.

  13. But they didn’t change the top exec Eric, as that would be Obama. Instead they offered a sacrificial lamb.

    And the Secret Service’s institutional culture only needs reform in the sense that it needs to return to the culture it once possessed. But that would be contrary to the ‘god’ of political correctness. So all they’ll do is address the symptoms, not the disease.

  14. Gringo:

    Regarding the Eisenhower/Nixon quote, it is indeed true, but taken out of context to make it appear as if Eisenhower needed a week to think of any instance where he brought VP Nixon into the decision process. See here:
    http://blog.nixonfoundation.org/2010/08/if-you-give-me-a-week-i-might-think-of-one/
    I believe the “give me a week” part of the quote had to do with the frequency of press conferences, meaning Ike could have some examples at the next meeting. A good book on the Eisenhower/Nixon relationship is “Ike & Dick: Portrait of a Strange Political Marriage” by Jeffrey Frank

  15. Remember, you can’t win a war against the Left. They got genius, Sun Tzu level generals and leaders like the SS there. Scary.
