We can be comfortable with Napolitano sitting in an office that doesn't really fit her experience, by remembering that Mr. Obama will be doing the same thing.

As important as DHS is, the jury is out on Napolitano. I watched my state of Arizona go from deficit, to surplus, to deficit. I watched as vital programs suffered lack of funding. I watched while others got enough support. Some deserved support or cuts, some did not. More could have been done to protect hard working, tax paying citizens.

Her first 90 days will set the mold for the days that remain. My concern is does she have the fortitude to do what is necessary to protect our country regardless of popularity? Will she strengthen departments like FEMA with "highly qualified" people, or sit by and let key positions fill with cronies of influential elected officials who couldn't tie their shoes? Will she enhance communication between vital departments which will strengthen our security, or let turf conflicts create a greater threat? Like in Good to Great, get the right people on the bus. Let those go whose personal agendas are not beneficial to the safety and security of our great nation. Put country first, and push party to the side. Like I said, the jury is out.
