I was answering an EMail complaining about the cost of President Obama's recent overseas trip. I made my usual point that it is worth every penny because it helps us solidify our relationship with India, which will be very important in the out-years. I also made the point that I wanted our President well protected, and then mentioned that it would take a while to get down to people I would like to see in the Oval Office in the event of (Heaven Forbid) a dire event.
I cribbed this table directly from Wikipedia,
An interesting collection of people, some of whom I could see as President of these United States and some of whom cause me to shudder at the thought. It is a long way to Eric Shinseki, who I see as an honorable man and one with the capacity to do the job. This is not to dismiss Ms Napolitano, but I think she has been tainted by being the Secretary of Homeland Security. Once upon a time she was the Governor of a Sovereign State. No longer. She is now a bureaucrat running a Department that is losing favor with the American People.
UPDATE: Thanks to Don Lincoln for pointing out that I had a bunch of broken links. I think I have fixed them, but if not, please send me an EMail. Thanks.
Regards — Cliff
