Obama Administration alienates another country: Canada

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano seems to be a little confused with her job. All she does is make people think that she is an idiot. She sends out a report calling conservatives "extremists" and now she blames Canada for allowing terrorists into the United States. There was not a single Sept. 11 terrorist who came to the United States through Canada. She also says that the Canadian border security must be equal to that of Mexico's. This upsets many Canadians and Americans. Is there a war going on in Canada, like Mexico's, that we are not aware of?

Today, a Canadian Newspaper "The National Post" from Ottowa said "She appears to be about as knowledgeable about border issues as a late-night radio call-in yahoo." They ask how in the world she got her job. And they are serious.

Later in the day, Napolitano sent out a statement saying "I made a mistake. I know that the September 11th hijackers did not come through Canada to the United States." The curious minds, like myself, wonder if she actually wrote that statement or if somebody else did in her staff. She needs to step down or be fired.

First, President Obama upsets our closest ally by sending back a bust of Winston Churchill and now this with Canada. What is with this administration and alienating our closest friends? Soon the United States will be all alone. This is the change we believe in?

Janet Napolitano talks to CBC News and the Canadians aren't happy with her.
