Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano plans to step down from her cabinet position in order to become president of the University of California system, ABC News has learned.
From one failing institution to another...
"For more than four years I have had the privilege of serving President Obama and his Administration as the Secretary of Homeland Security," Napolitano said in a statement on Friday. "The opportunity to work with the dedicated men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, who serve on the frontlines of our nation's efforts to protect our communities and families from harm, has been the highlight of my professional career."

Napolitano, who has been serving in her current post since 2009, was the first woman to helm of the Department of Homeland Security. A Democrat, she previously served as governor of Arizona from 2003 to 2009 and before that was the state's attorney general.

Napolitano notified President Obama of her decision to step down a month ago, sources say. She is planning to leave her post in early September.

#12  McCain's now officially gone 'round the bend.

It's a terrible thing for a mind to go to waste.

#11  Get this quote from Sen. John McCain:

“We have had our share of disagreements during her time as secretary, but I have never doubted her integrity, work ethic or commitment to our nation’s security. The people of Arizona can be very proud of our former governor’s service, and I wish her all the best as she assumes leadership of the nation’s largest public university system,” he said.

#4  OK, calm down, Ebbang. You understand, of course, that this is merely a payoff for a loyal Party operative. It doesn't mean the UC is going down the tubes because the UC is already down the tubes. She can't be any loonier than Gov. Moonbeam and the people who have already been running the UC for all these years.

#3  And that is the way it is; other peoples' misery turns out to be good news for others. She will fit in well with the other incompetent, dishonest, corrupt politicians in California since Arizona is on to her.
