Is there nothing that Obama can’t do?
“Yes, Canada is not Mexico, it doesn’t have a drug war going on, it didn’t have 6,000 homicides that were drug-related last year,” she said.
“Nonetheless, to the extent that terrorists have come into our country or suspected or known terrorists have entered our country across a border, it’s been across the Canadian border. There are real issues there.”
When asked if she was referring to the 9-11 terrorists, Napolitano added: “Not just those but others as well.”
…though apparently, they did nothing illegal.
“What we have to do is target the real evil-doers in this business, the employers who consistently hire illegal labor, the human traffickers who are exploiting human misery. And yes, when we find illegal workers, yes, appropriate action, some of which is criminal, most of that is civil, because crossing the border is not a crime per se. It is civil. But anyway, going after those as well.”
“The future is we have borders”
Sleep well in those beds, my dear American cousins.
Well, I agree with all of that ET, but will continue to believe that all totalitarians are ipso facto narcissists. But, I’m using the term in the pop psych sense, eh, just as you are, to wit:
If you’ll permit me to be respectfully churlish, you have opined that there is no “database” for my claim that Obama is a marxist. But couldn’t I say the same about the narcissist tag (which I agree with, of course)? I mean, we don’t have a formal diagnosis by a qualified quack, sorry, shrink, done in a clinicial setting, face to face with Obama. I mean, even written by people trained in the field, we can’t take these opinion pieces, penned at a distance, which opine that he’s a narcissist, even a pathological one, as fact, can we?
[ WOW, looks like I borrowed Vitruvius’s comma splicer! But, it could be the Proust. I’m re-reading In Search of Lost Time, the latest translation at Penguin. ]
In short, you have an opinion based on your observations, as do I on his marxism; but neither of us has a “database” for this opinion do we, just a certain amount of time in this valley of tears and our accumulated experiences.
Napaladoodoo…Pleeesee, your streams are crossing…don’t cross your streams…
Is she trying material for a Newhart skit?!
The US has its first postmodernist president—trained in Critical Legal Theory and then Critical Race Theory. It also has its first hate-America-first POTUS. Too many Americans are too much in awe of the majesty of the office of POTUS to think or say so. I’m very sorry to say so it, but I think the US is finished. God help us.
And she comes from a border state…
I think Napoltano is just dumb and not aware of anything happening outside of Arizona. Hillary on the other hand is smart enough to know better, but as a US Senator repeated that the 9/11 terrorists arrived from Canada. She repeated it because she felt like it, and it served her political purpose at the time. I don’t know which is worse.
The 2012 elections have been cancelled. Who needs elections when you have a ruler for life.
His majesty, king hugo fidel hussein mohammed obama.
The USA is toast unless the real americans rise up against this evil. Tea parties ain’t gonna cut it. You’ll need more than tea bags to win this one.

wrt a,b,c managers
As a manager one of your priorities is to replace yourself.
Part of a manager’s job is to staff effectively and to train. A manager who can train someone else to do their job as effectively or better is an extremely valuable person. This type of person doesn’t need to be looking over their shoulder.
BTW
In my experience, most ‘A’ type people avoid management. It is much more lucrative, satisfying and less stressful working on commission or some type of results based pay structure(bonuses/sub-contract). Management usually make comparable money but invest much more time and emotion.

“I’m not sure if Obama is B or C but he sure as hell isn’t an A.”
Sorry, Warwick, but I just had to fix it for you… 😉
“I’m not sure if Obama is B or C but he sure as hell is an A**.”
The Democrats view returning soldiers as a security threat for good and proper reason.
Did you not notice how absent ballots were co-lated seperately…and usually where predominently Replublican votes??? The Democrats did. That is why they go to such great lengths to avoid absentee ballots to be counted.
Does Napolitano know which way the Niagara River flows? In Canada, having a geographical brain fart (or mis-spoke in lieberal terms) can cost you an election.
Of course, the second question would be:” Does she really care?” Does the great “0” care? Has his auntie in Boston been deported yet?
It is the US which poses a terrorist threat to Canada, because of the US’s porous border with Mexico, rather than the other way around.
Obama is no different in this matter. He has surrounded himself with people like Janet Napolitano who is smarter than he is.

OUCH!!!!!!

I saw du humland sucuridy chef in duh cabinet meeting of the futre;idiocracy. Drink Brawndo
As if Hillary Klinton is any better!!
Only days after 9/11 she was spouting off for the TV news about Shutting Down the Canadian Border as a security measure …. Because everyone knows that all the 9/11 terrorists got into the US that way!
None of these people have EVER had any kind of relationship with facts or reality.

“It is the US which poses a terrorist threat to Canada, because of the US’s porous border with Mexico, rather than the other way around.”
Quite Right! However, that does not mean that we are not our own worst enemies.
Dumb & dumber, if you ask me. Never trust a socialist!
Has anybody commented on who’s dumber – Napolitano or Pelosi?
I guess the nicer way to ask would have been who’s smarter Napolitano or Pelosi?

This is true. Fortunately we have unbearably cold weather that keeps them away. However with global warming, who knows what might happen?

Well now you’ve done it. Terrorism and climate change……On the upside…I guess your folks named you appropriately.

Obama won’t stop wrecking the Republic’s reputation till Americans are living like Kenyans. Except the Elite like community orginizers.
