Yeah I loved one of his speaches a couple weeks ago saying the job was done the homeland was secure.  Just goes to show how little he knows about what had to be done.

Is there anything he did other than this stupid color alert that has made us safer?  IMO I don't personally know either way.  What has he done?

They took over the Coast Guard, upped it's budget significantly, bought a bunch of new equiptment and purpose built boats.

I have no problems with that.
