WASHINGTON - Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain had a terse exchange over border security in a Wednesday hearing on terrorism threats.
McCain, R-Ariz., questioned Napolitano's effectiveness at securing the border and enforcing immigration laws. Napolitano said illegal immigration is down and drug and gun seizures are up.
McCain suggested bringing Cochise County, Ariz. Sheriff Larry Deaver and other "sheriffs Secretary Napolitano says she's in contact with and ... they'll tell you they have not seen improvement."
Napolitano countered with names of other Arizona sheriffs who should also testify.
"Let's get them all up here. Let's get them all up here. Not just one," she said talking over McCain.
Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., ended the exchange by moving from McCain to Republican Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown.

middleclass, they all lie to get elected. What they do after getting elected is what counts. President Hussein said his administration would be the most open and inclusive administration ever, but look at what he's done since getting elected. This has been the most divisive and secretive administration and congress that I've seen in my lifetime.

Don't be so hateful. We have an old fart John McCain that will lie and be hateful for you. I know you are aware that John Mc Nasty will say anything that you want to hear to stay in office. Look when he ran for President. He was for a path for illegals to become a citizen. Now, he's for kicking the bums out. He is so mad he was not elected President, he hates himself.

Horrible to think she is actually 18th in line to be President of the United States. Even scarier to think Piglousy is 2nd in line. Clinton is 4th. Ok, so nothing could be worse than this current obamanation.
