They didn't read this one any further than they did 'Affordable Care'. And if they did, which of them would know if it was any good?
To me it read as rehashed, outdated vendor whitepapers. When the body of work was circling for draft review, each session was heavily attended by representatives from Symantec, Norton, McAffee, Karpensky, et. al. each steering the contributors to their pound of flesh solution architecture.
Nothing new or exciting from NIST here. It reads as a voluntary, civilian version of DoD's DIACAP, which was old before it's mandatory implementation.
At least that gave us a baseline to improve from. This plan is simply another failed gesture.
[WEEKLYSTANDARD] Democratic congressman Henry Cuellar ...Dem representative for Texas' 28th congressional district, serving since 2005. He was a professor at Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) in Laredo. He has positioned himself as a strong advocate for education. Prior to being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives he was a member of the Texas House 1987 to 2001.... ripped President B.O. for being "aloof" and "detached" by not visiting the Texas border to see first hand the immigration crisis. Cuellar made the comments on MSNBC:
"He's so close to the border. And let me say this: when I saw, and I hate to use the word bizarre, but under the circumstances, when he is shown playing pool in Colorado, drinking a beer, and he can't even go 242 miles to the Texas border, and plus, if he doesn't want to go down to the border, there's the Air Force Base where HHS is holding some of the young kids from the border. He could at least make that trip to San Antonio, but again, border community leaders wants to see him down there on the border, and I think the optics and the substance of it is that he should show up at the border," said Cuellar.
And he had some advice for the White House."If they are worried about putting a face, the president's face, to this human crisis, humanitarian crisis, I think it's worse if he doesn't even show up. Either way, he's going to be tied into this humanitarian crisis. he either can roll up his sleeves and go down to the border, or he can just look aloof and detached and not go to the border, send surrogates down there, and say that he's got everything under control."
He adds, "It Just floored me, because if he's saying he's too busy to go to the border but you have time to drink beer, play pool."
The president was in Colorado last night -- drinking beer and playing pool.

"Aloof, bizarre, detached"....all standard attributes and traits of a narcissist. No mystery here at all.
#2
On drugs too. Coke or amphetamines. Over the last few weeks, the level of assholery has kicked up way too many notches, way too fast. Also dark circles under the eyes, ashen skin, gaunt and skinnier than ever.
Sure would be nice if this problem would solve itself.
Ahem. Let's not go any closer to that line, shall we?

Oh sorry. I meant, surely it would be easier to make the case to remove an official who is mentally incapacitated. Biden, demented as he is, would be less dangerous than a drug addict.

If the Dems are using the illegal childrens as political pawns and its obvious the kids are going through hell in the process, its probably pretty hard to look them in the eye. Also he certainly doens't wnat a photo op of him there because tehn he can't downplay it all.
[Iran Press TV] US House Speaker John It is not pronounced 'Boner!' Boehner ... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans... says he doesn't support calls from his fellow Republican politicians to impeach President Barack Obama My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it...
Of course John Boehner disagrees. The votes aren't there. The votes might not be there in the House and they certainly aren't there in the Senate.
Sarah is a treasure, but she's forgetting the first responsibility of an elected politician -- know how to count, whether it's to 50% plus one or to 2/3s. Boehner can count, that's how he made it to Speaker (it sure wasn't his leadership skills).
There will be no impeachment of Obama because the votes are not and will not be there. So Boehner is trying to capitalize on discontent with lawsuits and other nonsense.
If I were him and I were counting, I'd see whether I could get the votes to impeach the IRS commissioner and send THAT to Harry Reid in, say, September...
Speaking to news hounds on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, Boehner was asked about former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Mama Grizzly Palin ... the babe libs love to hate ... 's assertion that House Republicans should impeach Obama over the influx of child migrants crossing the US border without documents. Boehner responded by simply saying, "I disagree."
Boehner repeated those words in response to a follow-up question about some members of the House privately demanding Obama's impeachment.
On Tuesday, Sarah Palin called for Obama's impeachment over his handling of the growing immigration crisis.
"The many impeachable offenses of Barack Obama can no longer be ignored," Palin said in an op-ed published in Breitbart News. "If after all this he's not impeachable, then no one is."
The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee wrote that Obama's "unsecured border crisis is the last straw" and asked politicians to evict him from the White House.

If he is Impeached Obama becomes a martyr. Better to let him be a dismal failure
#2
Yes, concentrate fires on the IRS Director, Lois Lerner, Holder, the FBI, and ValJar's Moolsim Broederbond connection if possible. Let the idiot Marxist continue to sing, dance and impress the people.
#5
Focus on holder, Lerner, ValJar. Unlike Republicans with Nixon, the Democrat party senators are far too corrupt to count on for anything other than a party line vote in an impeachment.
#6
Exactly! Focus on the 25m targets, the ones you KNOW you can hit. Take these people out. Convicting and jailing them will isolate the Champ and make him further ineffective.
#7
For the uber-narcissist who was surrounded by Greek columns in 2008 and promised by his acolytes that he was the ONE. This was the guy who was going to heal the world, part the seas and make everyone love us again, this must be quite a fall--this talk of impeachment. He has been handled by those around him and protected by the media; he has been living and protected by a cocoon. It is only now that information is beginning to trickle in and self-doubt is starting to set in. He is rapidly becoming irrelevant. Hopefully, he won't over react and do something really stupid and more destructive than he has been.
#8
Or better yet for Boehner - how about growing a big brass pair and not folding like a deck chair on the next budget and make some painful cuts to Obama's pet agencies?
#11
Impeachment (although Obumble deserves it) would only strengthen his position and rally the troops to him. Boehner's lawsuit is an interesting way to get around that little issue.
I also don't want him impeached as it would make him a martyr.
I want him to leave office humiliated. All of his work and policies in a flaming ruin. The ideas he championed so toxic that another progressive won't be able to talk about them and promote them for 20 years without the base voting them out.
#13
Impeachment doesn't get him out of office than it is worthless and would only appear as a partisan tool in the history books. Let his horrid record stand in teh history books as is.
#15
I can relate to Palin's frustration, but impeachment is out of the question. This fellow is as dangerous as a Mamba. The pubs must be careful how they handle him. He loves and thrives on the drama and media attention ["so go ahead, sue me"] Do NOT play his game! Iggy the worthless half-kaffir SOB until he's out of office, then go after him in the courts.
#17
African Americans whose unemployment rate is twice the white Americans are starting to get riled. NOW we will see the Dems eat their own to save their ass.
#19
In the law of the jungle, even the weakest members of a pride of lions will join a vicious attack on a once powerful, and most dominant leader of the pride, if they perceive him as being injured or weak.
The same is true of our own society.
Over the past few months it has become increasingly "in Vogue" to beat up on Obama. Even some of the most affluent left-wing media outlets have began to join the pile _on.
Vindictive as I am, there is little I would enjoy more than watching the impeachment of President Obama. But I must respectfully disagree with Ms. Palin. Now is not the time.
There is an old saying in politics, "Never interrupt your opponent while he's destroying himself."
As Obama's toxicity level, as the leader of the Democratic Party rises, so goes the toxicity level of the Democratic Party members. And the reality is, that is the best thing (and some say the only thing) that the Republican Party currently has in it's favor.
I do agree that now is the time for John Boehner to file a lawsuit against Obama.
The most potent asset Obama has in his favor is the bully pulpit. Without doubt there is nothing Obama would desire more than to glaze over his glaring failures and bring his new election talking points into sharp media focus.
Win or lose, the lawsuit will allow the Republicans to exert at least some measure of control over the bully pulpit narrative. It will allow them the opportunity to force their own narrative to the forefront and keep Obama's glaring ineptitude in the media spotlight.
There will be plenty of time to impeach Obama if that is the objective. But failure of impeachment in the Senate will only appear as Republican weakness. Gaining control of the Senate needs to remain the Republican's ultimate priority until after the 2014 midterm elections.
For now let Obama simmer in his own toxic soup. Even though the repulsive odor it generates is hard to bear.
#20
No impeachment. It allows him to achieve Racial Martyr status, when, in fact he's Narcissus without accomplishment running the country into the ground.

Yeah Frank, and somehow it will STILL be the White's fault.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
