Curiosity drove me here

here is what I found on her site
Janet Napolitano is the third Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and is leading our nation's collective efforts to secure our country from the threats we face - from terrorism to natural disasters.
To counter the threat of terrorism, Napolitano has forged new partnerships with international allies, and expanded information sharing with federal, state and local law enforcement - building a collaborative effort to detect and disrupt threats early on.
She has initiated a new, more strategic course to strengthen security along our southwest border, deploying additional personnel and advanced technology, while working closely with Mexico to combat violent international drug cartels - resulting in increased seizures of illegal contraband along the border and throughout our country's interior.
Napolitano also has forged a smart and effective approach to enforcing our immigration laws and prioritizing public safety while targeting criminal aliens and aggressively pursuing employers that knowingly take advantage of illegal labor.
She has strengthened the nation's ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters by cutting through red tape and expediting decision-making along the Gulf Coast, providing new resources to build resilient communities and bolster their response capabilities, and calling on all Americans to play a role in the shared responsibility of making our homeland secure.
In each of these areas - counterterrorism; border security; immigration enforcement; and disaster preparedness, response and recovery - Napolitano is building upon the skills and resources of this young department by deploying the best that science and technology have to offer; reinvigorating partnerships with state, local and tribal governments and the private sector - our nation's first detectors and first responders; and implementing a bold Efficiency Review that is making the Department a leaner, smarter agency better equipped to protect the nation.
How do you think she is doing? How would you grade her? Do you think she earns her 193,300.00?

I would have cried if they had told me I had to write this "blurb" for Napo... And I've had to write a few blurbs in my day for numerous generals, commanders.... This one is right up there in what I use to call "governmentise". About 1% of it's true, but I couldn't tell you what 1%. Her salary doesn't bother me as much as her performance. Now, I'd really "die" if they asked me to write her "eval" (I've also written those....and this one would be extremely tough. How do you paint pretty flowers all over a pile of...?)

Boy, there sure are a lot of lies on that website. Far too many to actually point out. No, she is not worth the salary she is being paid. Grade D minus. The main reason is not F is because someone created a pretty good fiction story on her website.
