He IS going to put a dumbass in DHS. After all, we have Kerry in State. We have Hagel in Defense. He just appointed Kennedy to the ambassadorship for Japan. There are other examples but those are probably the most egregious.
So, I'm thinking...if he is going to nominate a dumbass we could do a lot worse. Why? Well, take Hagel, for instance...He is an absolute dumbass and he is seriously screwing over the military but he is low profile so the media ignores his transgressions and the public is then largely ignorant of how President Zero is screwing over the military.
On the other hand, Lee is anything but low profile. That idiot demands a press conference to take a dump. She would be on display as the very visible and very ugly face of the Dumbass administration 24/7. She would create scandal because she does that now as a rep. She is totally and completely corrupt and proud of her corruption.
So, if we have to have a dumbass in DHS this is probably the best we could hope for.
And if Obongo is determined to start a race war she would happily cooperate because in addition to being corrupt she is an incredible racist.
And I don't see the Senate Republicans having the guts to block the nomination. McCain would probably be gushing over the "bold" choice.
