#1 But will it be directed at defending American interests, or defending Obama's interests?

#4 Sounds like another demotion for Sec State, uh, what's her name?

#5 So, this means data mining [of American citizens] is OK now that its being done by the One and not by Bush?

#7 Only if aimed at Republicans and libertarians, P2K. Or find the levers to keep wavering Dems in line.

#8 Sounds like one new bureaucrat trying to position himself over others. Not just state, but the CIA, defense and homeland security.

The retired Marine general said he will be the primary conduit of national security advice to Mr Obama.

#9 National security adviser James Jones said he will be the primary conduit of national security advice to Mr Obama.

I thought Jones drank the Kool-Aid down in Guyana? Must have just been the figurative Kool-Aid.

#10 The retired Marine general said he will be the primary conduit of national security advice to Mr Obama

So, If he's going to act as funnel and filter for Superzero, we need to know a LOT more about him. Maybe figure out what he'll let pass and what he'll not.

Absolutely. Just check out the Daily Kos (if you dare).

#12 There is quite a bit on him in Wikipedia. The question is: where does he stand of stuff? I have no idea. Will he be used as wallpaper, or will he be listened to by the Big O?

#13 The title doesn't match the contents. Ogabe is merely rearranging the furniture. Now, if he had said that he was increasing funding and headcount...

#14 More mall cops?

#15 How does this track with the demanded 10%+ reduction in the FY10 defense budget? Various and sundry "administration officials" have been telling us that there is not enough money to fund the increase in Army and Marine Corps manning that was underway, that there is not enough money to continue the various weapons programs underway and that Congress will pick and choose which programs will continue and which will be terminated based on politics rather than military necessity. This the same guy who is planning on deactivating 90% of America's nuclear arsenal? From a national security standpoint, Obama and his gang of parasites are a national nightmare.
