Uh, I would have thought in the Obama administration this would have garnered the official a promotion. I love the White House response, "Oh well they were low risk detainees and it was due to budget cuts". How can you take an administration seriously when they down play the lapse of of a function which aside from national defense, receive the highest priority?

call me a skeptic, but I dont for ONE minute believe that Obama was not aware of this plan to release criminals. I believe it was Obama's Idea!

Congress set aside special funding to hold 34,000 illegal immigrant detainees - even with the sequester. Obama's fingerprints are all over this crime against America.

Anyone consider that maybe this guy is quiting in protest of what happened. I don't think we have heard the whole story yet. Those who think Obama was behind this are probably right.

How stupid is our government and this administration? Maybe Obama shouldn't have told all those bogus stories about what is going to happen if we enact any less government spending.

Corporations pay little to no tax.--------So tell your senator and rep and President to stop giving out Corporate tax breaks if you think this is a problem. In the "fiscal cliff" bill that was passed in Jan, there are 50 separate tax loopholes that were handed out to corporations!!
