DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano came out three times yesterday lauding how the “System Worked” when it came to  stopping the terrorist attack on the Northwest Flight from Amsterdam. What system?

Seedy Chicago Politics

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

Sometimes Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina surprises me. Seems like the man is actually growing a backbone.

According to Valerie Jarrett in her interview with TIME magazine, Barack and Michele Obama feel like their suffocating in the White House because they can’t go anywhere they want and do what they want without the tribe of security following them.
