Napolitano needs to go

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano needs to go. Immediately. For the safety and security of the nation. It's not personal, it's just that, well, Americans would prefer not to risk getting blown to smithereens just to spare President Obama the "embarrassment" of having to fire one of his Cabinet members and to spare Napolitano some hurt feelings. Especially after both urged Americans to give them the benefit of the doubt after the Fort Hood massacre.
 
Unlike the economy's ups and downs, a terrorist attack or attempted attack cannot be spun by the spinmeisters. At least not successfully and certainly not with any moral fiber. It is what it is. And the failure of Obama to keep the nation safe after former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney managed to do so after 9/11 is, interestingly, talked about very little in the mainstream media. I guess they are too busy wiping all of that egg off their faces.

What's worse is that at least one (supposedly) key figure in the Obama administration even predicted an attempted terrorist attack. Joe Biden, just before Obama was elected president of the United States, said, “Mark my words: It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

Biden was off a few months, but he was on the money. After that bold admission, Biden was also muzzled by Obama staff to the degree it is possible to muzzle Biden (and good for him, btw).
 
I think many Americans, no matter their political stripes, would hold Vice President Joe Biden in high esteem, indeed, if he spoke up today and demanded a new Homeland Security secretary. Putting country first, behind his politics, would certainly secure Biden's spot in the history books and, along with the example set by Dick Cheney, help ensure the vice presidency is worth more than just that infamous "warm bucket of spit."
