Janet Napolitano Not Leaving Homeland Security

Jan. 14, 2013 2:20pm Mytheos Holt

Despite a controversial first four years as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, former Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano appears poised to retain the post for as long as she wants to remain in the Obama administration. The Washington Post reports that Napolitano has officially given the President her notice that she will not resign:

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano will remain in the same post as President Obama begins a second term, a White House official said Monday.[...]

Napolitano, who has been dealing with the recent death of her father, had planned to stay and the administration confirmed that she would on Monday. While not unexpected, her remaining in place means that most of Obama’s first-term Cabinet will begin the second term unchanged.

TheBlaze had suggested in September of last year that Napolitano’s responsibility for the events in the Fast and Furious scandal, as well as other controversies surrounding her management style, might force Napolitano out of the post. Evidently, these problems have not stuck to Napolitano, who Obama is apparently retaining to aid in a second term push for immigration reform.

  Damn…
  Couldn’t get anyone to accept her resumes so she stayed put…
  As I tell disgruntled staff; “Worst day at work beats the best day of job hunting”
  Some one must shared my logic with neopolitan…

I’d say what I really think. But I’m Canadian, and want to keep being allowed across the border by the DHS, like I have done peacefully and lawfully for the last 50 years.

Bless her brave heart. She set such a high bar with her first four years, it will be difficult to achieve such high accomplishments in her next four years. I hope she isn’t judged to harshly.

could be worse – the DHS lesbian frat parties keep her busy and limit the time she has to destroy our freedoms

I don’t blame her for staying. When your only qualification is to play one of the cast members of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the local theater, you have to hold on to the job you got.

Gee! Now that she’s going to be around, maybe we can get “Big Sis” to share her thoughts on Benghazi with us.

Come on, sweetie, draw from your vast experience in those cross border fire fights to say what you would have done to save those four men. By golly, I’ll just bet that you would have…..

OK, Janet, I want to add your opinion to that of Colin Powell. Wait, he didn’t express an opinion on that treason either. My mistake! I guess none of the fools want to talk about that one.

“Remember Benghazi and ALL the Traitors!”

Napolitano could not work anywhere else except the obama-regime. Where else can she get pics off of a semi-x-ray machine of every woman that flies. Anyway….obama loves her. He is gay and so is she. She plays the man part and he plays the woman. She puts on a strap-on and obama a dress and she chases him around the white house while Michelle is out shopping.

One more step on the slippery slide downhill of the country under Obama.

I still like what Mark Steyn calls her. Far more descriptive, Janet Incompetano. Leave the idiot there, whose to say that 0bama actually might accidentally put an even more hardcore liberal in the position who will be even more destructive.

It looks like Janet is not getting any good job offers outside the government, but, then, who would want her?

Jan has been a loyal subject to me and I really like how she’s allowed millions of illegals I mean supporters to cross the border and come to new America. She’s gone the extra mile in ensuring illegals have a free pass to come here and bankrupt the country and so as your gay Marxist ruler I’m just thrilled that ole Jan decided to stay on as head of my stasi I mean DHS.

So Obama is holding onto the hard core group of his admin and the czars. This is going to get more ugly with each passing day.

Interesting. I guess we can all feel secure…….. Just ask one from Arizona how secure they felt with their former Governor.
