Former Federal Emergency Management Agency boss James Lee Witt may finally be getting the promotion his former boss, Bill Clinton, never gave him. Sources in the disaster-recovery world say that he is being brought to the attention of the Obama administration as a potential replacement for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Officials, however, say she's safe, despite GOP attacks over her handling of the alleged Christmas underwear bomber. Witt could get a tryout as the U.S. coordinator for Haiti recovery.

But the O man is in love with Napolitano. He keeps her around because he wants to appoint her to the Supreme Court. You cant fire someone then send them up for the Court.

I cant imagine the Repubs letting her anywhere close to the court...but no telling what RINO's like Lindsay Graham etc would do.

President OBAMA should just make the change and get on with the business of bringing the USA back to leadership. I did not vote for him, but I think that he can do the job inspite of some really stupid people on his staff and in the Senate. Stick to your promise that Lobbyists would not rule Washington; they are in so thick now, it smells like rotten garbage!

Forget about the so-called worldwide popularity contest that is being waged with Free Trade Agreements; they are a farce for the

big International companies and a lot of ordinary Americans are

losing their jobs just because the CEO wants to impress Wall Street with earnings.

America is great___let's go forward!
