What's Happened to the Engineer?

Aaron Klein, the Jerusalem Bureau Chief for World Net Daily writes, "Republican lawmakers last month placed a 'hold' on Obama's pick to head the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) over concerns he (Erroll Southers) could undermine safety by unionizing airport security." As I read this, I would have to say that no one is in charge at the TSA. The system still functions, but solely on the momentum of what previous administrations have put in place. However, it now appears that the clocks are winding down.

We could take it a step further and scribe a wider arc to include the entire U.S. government; and we could say with equal certitude that no one is in charge there as well - not in a practical way, at any rate. We are reminded of it over and over again as we watch the dollar's steady downward slide; as we watch gate crashers crashing White House security; as we watch our foreign policy unraveling; as we watch for the mailman to bring us our government checks.

On so many levels, in so many areas, we are barely moving on rapidly dying momentum. Since Barack Hussein Obama took office, nothing of substance has been added. The Yankee Clipper is running out of steam and the passengers are getting nervous. "Why are we slowing down?" they're asking. "What's happened to the engineer?"

What indeed! Could somebody check? How long do you think it would take to bring in a new guy to take over?
