Jeanene, a few years ago, you remarked that Janet Napolitano,<BR>as governor
of Arizona, was great. Now, as a member of President Obama's<BR>cabinet, she's
getting a lot of flak, sometimes silly sounding off,<BR>sometimes because she
puts her foot in her mouth. Is there a Peter<BR>Principle at work here? Even
if there isn't, I thought it was a mistake<BR>for our president to call so
many recently elected governors and senators<BR>into his cabinet. They were
needed, and doing a good job, where they<BR>were, in Arizona and Colorado and
Kansas. The qualifications needed in a<BR>department administrator are not
necessarily the same. Anyway, just<BR>wondered what you
thought.<BR>Siarlys</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
