Comments on: End the Spin http://www.hlswatch.com/2010/01/04/end-the-spin/ News and analysis of critical issues in homeland security today.

Both the White House and the Congress needs to wake up, take note and take (positive) action. While Mike sums up the argument with his comment about the "seam" between the White house and the opposition party I believe there are at least three factions at work at a minimum; the two he cites and those Democrats who would benefit by a failed Obama presidency. As fractured as the Republican party is today, the Democrats are a hollow shell, looking for any opportunity to rescue themselves from self-destruction. This is something that needed to be said.

I vetted your for the Deputy Job when at the then Independent FEMA. Would be interested in your thoughts on that subject also. The focus of national security since President Eisenhower is far different than before. You are one of the few true experts on civil military relationships and hoping you weigh in on that score more often. Still traveling to Harper's Ferry daily? Hope Springs Eternal!

I have candidates in mind, as well as false positives, but wouldn't mind a slightly expanded explanation of your otherwise totally sensible plea. The problem with such a plea is that without such identification, determining in your opinion what are reasonable questions to ask vs. political point scoring is difficult.
