Bipartisan Report: Johnson Wrong to Blame Obama for Secret Service Woes
Last September, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson faced a tough situation: Blame President Obama, or blame government in general, for Secret Service agents failing to stop an armed intruder from scaling the fence, running across the front yard, and coming in through the front door of the White House.
Johnson chose both, saying that this was yet another example of Obama's "inability to manage," and then also blaming the "dysfunctional" Federal Government: "What we're seeing across the board with this administration is the inability to manage events and manage the agency. The government is out of control. That's one takeaway that Americans really need to realize is that the federal government is dysfunctional, ineffective, inefficient so my suggestion is to stop growing it." Apparently, in Johnson's view, Obama should be doing a better job of managing something that is intrinsically dysfunctional and unmanageable.
The New York Times reported that the "most revealing parts" of the report were about the impact that deep budget cuts have had on the Secret Service: The most revealing parts of the report were about the agency’s budget and staffing, and raised questions about the impact of across-the-board spending cuts — known as sequestration — and other budget cuts in the last decade.

In other words, the report's conclusion-- add more agents and give the Secret Service proper funding so they aren't spread too thin-- is exactly the opposite of Johnson's "government is bad, cut everything except the military" mantra.

Flashback: Ron Johnson on Russia, "Sad Fact is that Sanctions Haven't Worked"
Last May, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson appeared on CNN's State of the Union and dismissed Obama's plan to deal with Russian aggression with more economic sanctions, saying, "the sad fact is that sanctions haven't worked." Johnson then went on to suggest that the only way to deal with Putin was militarily, saying, "Vladimir Putin is only going to respond to action, strength and resolve."
Now, seven months later, Russia's economy is going up in flames and the fire hydrants necessary to put it out -- IMF loans and other international help -- are locked down tight, because of the economic sanctions Obama and other world leaders imposed on Russia.
What's Ron Johnson saying now? After Putin turned his attention to his own economic sinking ship, Ron Johnson moved on to next Fox News' flavors of the month: ISIS, then Ebola, then ISIS using Ebola.
Can't wait for 2016 so we can throw this dunce out.
