When it is a political.....POLITICAL.....appointment it does not matter one bit whether a person is qualified or not.

Just look at the people who have passed through the last 6 years and who they were, the jbs they had and their past experience. Not a one was qualified for the job.

Also every infraction by a high ranking member of the Obama team is always....ALWAYS.....followed by him making a statement the next day about the confidence he has in the individual.

This is what we get when politics rules the methodology. We are not getting the best people as the country deserves.

Maybe we the people will learn a lesson. Maybe in the next election we will actually look at a person's qualifications.........IT STARTS AND ENDS AT THE TOP.
I did just what you suggested. I looked at the last 6 directors of the Secret Service. I read their resumes and found all of them to be supremely qualified. For anyone else interested, here are the last 6 Directors and the years they became Director:
Eljay Bowron 1993
Lewis Merletti 1997
Brian Stafford 1999
W. Ralph Bashan 2003
Mark Sullivan 2006
Julia Pierson 2013
The first 3 were appointed by Pres. Clinton, the next 2 by Pres. G.W. Bush, and the last one by Pres. Obama.
Please tell me which ones you think were unqualified and your reasons for thinking that.
