The office of UC President Janet Napolitano created a secret reservebudget over the course of four years, the audit found. Included in the reserve was $32 million collected from campuses that could have been spent on students.

“These problems indicate that significant change is necessary to strengthen the public’s trust in the University,” Howell wrote in the audit.

Janet Napolitano on Protestors: ‘We Don’t Have To Listen To This Crap’

The former Secretary of Homeland Security for the Obama administration had a different tone when she was speaking directly into the microphone at the very same meeting. “They want to be sure that their voices are being heard and I want to commit to them that their voices are being heard,” Napolitano said.

The protesters at the regents meetings were upset about potential tuition hikes at the university.

Shortly after Naploitano’s “crap” remark, the regents left the room and continued their meeting later.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano Resigns, Named Next President of University of California System

◼ Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security chief, to head UC - LA Times

Janet Napolitano, the U.S. secretary of Homeland Security and former governor of Arizona, is being named as the next president of the University of California system, in an unusual choice that brings a national-level politician to a position usually held by an academic. Her appointment also means the 10-campus system will be headed by a woman for the first time in its 145-year history.

Napolitano’s nomination by a committee of UC regents came after a secretive process that insiders said focused on her early as a high-profile, although untraditional, candidate who has led large public agencies and shown a strong interest in improving education.

UC officials believe that her Cabinet experiences –- which include helping to lead responses to hurricanes and tornadoes and overseeing some anti-terrorism measures -- will help UC administer its federal energy and nuclear weapons labs and aid its federally funded research in medicine and other areas.

“While some may consider her to be an unconventional choice, Secretary Napolitano is without a doubt the right person at the right time to lead this incredible university," Sherry Lansing, the regent and former film industry executive who headed the search committee, said in a statement being released Friday. "She will bring fresh eyes and a new sensibility -- not only to UC, but to all of California. She will stand as a vigorous advocate for faculty, students and staff at a time when great changes in our state, and across the globe, are presenting as many opportunities as challenges.”

REPACKAGED AMNESTY BILL ALLOWS NAPOLITANO TO NIX BORDER FENCE

◼ Another loophole inserted into the new version of the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill allows Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano (or any of her successors) to nix the construction of a required border security fence if she does not find it to be an "appropriate" use of resources. - Matthew Boyle/Breitbart

The Corker Amendment is an obvious attempt by the DC GOP establishment to find a path to vote for the Senate bill. It throws a lot more money at the border, but it also weakens internal enforcement and controls. The Corker Amendment actually stipulates that, in perpetuity, you can break the law, overstay your visa, and still be eligible for citizenship.

Big Sis Denies Existence of 'Orwellian State'...

◼ “No one should believe that we are simply going willy-nilly and using any kind of data that we can gather,” she said. - CNN

Still, she acknowledged the federal government hasn’t done the best job of keeping the public informed about how it is treating the enormous amounts of personal information that could potentially be used in intelligence gathering.

“I think we need to do a better job of explaining to the American people exactly what is kept, what are the real restrictions on how—I’m just talking now for DHS, Department of Homeland Security–how we use it, how long we can keep it, how we share it, all those thing,” she explained.

Ms. Napolitano added that striking the right balance between security and civil liberties is always a challenge.

The newly disclosed figures, cited in internal government budget documents reviewed by the AP, are significantly higher than what the Obama administration acknowledged this week as a "few hundred" illegal immigrants who were released under the budget-savings process.

WHITE HOUSE BLAMES BIG SIS FOR ALIEN RELEASE

◼ Big Sis Napolitano releases “low-priority” illegal aliens. NYTimes finds out what “low priority” means - Darleen Click/Protein Wisdom

Californians are familiar with the “punish the proletariat” tactics of politicians who, when told “no” to their addiction to free tax money start cutting where it will directly hurt voters — e.g. teachers, road repair — rather than their crony bureaucracies.

So promises Obama if he doesn’t get another round of tax increases (after getting what he wanted 8 weeks ago). For example, warnings have gone out to 238 airports about possible tower closures.

And Janet has decided to release illegals out of detention

House Speaker John Boehner on Tuesday blasted the decision by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to release hundreds of jailed illegal immigrants and blaming federal budget cuts.

“It’s very hard for me to believe that they can’t find cuts elsewhere in their agency,” Boehner (R-Ohio) told CBS News. “I frankly think this is outrageous…I can’t believe that they can’t find the kind of savings they need out of that department short of letting criminals go free.”

“I’m supposed to have 34,000 detention beds for immigration,” Napolitano said Monday. “How do I pay for those?”

◼ The White House Court Jesters of Sequester - Michelle Malkin

President Obama has been warning America that if Congress allows mandatory spending “cuts” of a piddly-widdly 2 percent to go into effect this week, the sky will fall. The manufactured crisis of “sequestration” was Obama’s idea in the first place.

But that hasn’t stopped the Chicken Little in Chief from surrounding himself with every last teacher, senior citizen and emergency responder who will be catastrophically victimized by hardhearted Republicans. Curses on those meanie Republicans! How dare they acquiesce to the very plan for “cuts” — or rather, negligible reductions in the explosive rate of federal spending growth — that Obama himself hatched?

How low will the kick-the-can Democrats go?

◼ “If the president’s idea of how to manage our federal government is to release 6,000-10,000 people who have been detained, and most of the people who have been detained are not just illegally present in the united states but they’ve committed some kind of a criminal act in addition to that, that seems to me to be a pretty misguided approach to how you save money in that agency,” Mr. Goodlatte, Virginia Republican, told reporters at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. - Stephen Dinan/Washington Times

Obama Administration Grants De Facto Amnesty to Many Illegal Immigrants

◼ House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said the shift is the administration's "plan to grant backdoor amnesty to illegal immigrants."

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said the shift is the administration's "plan to grant backdoor amnesty to illegal immigrants."

"They have created a working group that appears to have the specific purpose of overruling, on a `case-by-case' basis, an immigration court's final order of removal, or preventing that court from even issuing such an order," Smith said in a statement. "The Obama administration should enforce immigration laws, not look for ways to ignore them. The Obama administration should not pick and choose which laws to enforce."

Fellow Texas Republican Rep. Michael McCaul said the plan circumvents Congress.

"It is just the latest attempt by this president to bypass the intended legislative process when he does not get his way," McCaul said. "The fact that we have a backlog and prioritize deportations is nothing new. This policy goes a step further granting illegal immigrants a fast-track to gaining a work permit where they will now unfairly compete with more than 9 percent of Americans who are still looking for jobs."
