Janet Napolitanos' Border Patrol Priorities-from Conservative Observer

I have stolen er umm, borrowed this from Velcro's site, Conservative Observer to re-post here. Thank you, Velcro!

This is further proof (as if we needed any more) of the horrible disconnect that so many of our politicians, Commissars, are suffering from, by choice. We are now living with the result of the past elections. Elections have consequences and from the last two Presidential elections, the consequences have been catastrophic for our Republic.

Janet Napolitano is completely removed and disconnected from the agency and people she is supposed to be leading.

I have the utmost respect for the fine people who are willing to risk their lives trying to stem the flow of illegal alien invaders across our borders that this administration and Napolitano want to allow in to further their plans to turn the United States into something worse than a banana republic. When I lived in Arizona many years ago I knew a handful of agents from the Border Patrol. Each one of these individuals cared deeply about their job and the mission of the agency. I also knew them to be compassionate and kind. Compare this with what Napolitano's greatest moments have been and how totally removed she is. Asked about agency morale, she answers that HER morale is fine. Quite revealing and to me, completely and totally reprehensible. PatriotUSA

Janet Napolitanos' Border Patrol Priorities

By Velcro

Those of you who have been here before know that I tend to champion Border Patrol agents, who are frequently stuck between political divisions, the law, the cartels, Eric Holder, and their (lack of ) high level leadership. 

Asked about morale and Great Moments in her career as Secretary of the DHS, Napolitano's answers aligns with her boss, the President.  The characterization of President Obama and his cabinet members as lying cheats who are out to destroy the Constitution, line their pockets, and hose the American people remains.  

The Border Patrol, Local 2544, Tucson Sector, reports on a video conference call where the Boss met with the troops.  Here it is, presented in it's entirety, with no additional emphasis on my part. 
  

Priorities

Real leadership you cannot depend on.

"It is great to have a “leader” with her priorities in the right place. During a video-conference session yesterday with agents and managers, Secretary Napolitano once again showed how out of touch she is with the rank-and-file employees who make DHS run.

"In response to a question about the low morale problem in CBP, she answered with a laugh “My morale is high.” Her dismissive comment is simply stunning, but unfortunately, it is typical of the way she has run things.

"Asked about her most memorable moment as DHS Secretary, she said something even more stunning. She said her most memorable moment as DHS Secretary was the time she threw out a first pitch at a Yankees game. This pretty much says it all. She revels in her “celebrity” while leading the largest law-enforcement agency in the history of this nation and the most memorable thing she has done is throwing a pitch at a baseball game. Not attending a funeral of a murdered agent, not meeting with the families of murdered agents, not anything to do with her job (outside her “celebrity” status), but throwing a pitch at a baseball game.

"And please don’t think these were just spontaneous comments. All questions had to be submitted days beforehand so she could select the questions she wanted to answer. This was a scripted publicity stunt designed to show she is “connecting” with agents.

"We have begged for real leadership in this Agency for years, and it’s become painfully apparent that nobody cares. It is more important to lie to the American people about how secure the borders are and to push for another amnesty program than it is to be a real leader of a law-enforcement agency.

NBPC representatives have attended musters and meetings with thousands of agents. We engage in the tough questions. We don’t hide behind some sort of imagined “celebrity” status. We don’t believe rank-and-file agents give one hoot about Napolitano throwing out some ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game. We care about border security, being allowed to do our jobs, being able to take care of our families, getting the equipment and support we need. And we continue to dream about having a real leader who we can respect and trust."

How much longer will the American people allow Obama and his band of thugs and mobsters to rape, pillage, and party at our expense?
