sounded familiar - it was Arizona Mommy
On December 1, 2008, Barack Obama introduced Napolitano as his nominee for United States Secretary of Homeland Security.[36][37] On January 20, 2009, Napolitano was confirmed, becoming the first woman appointed as Secretary in the relatively new department, and the fourth person to hold the position overall (including one acting secretary). Arizona Secretary of State Jan Brewer became governor of Arizona.
H1N1 flu
As Secretary, Napolitano was a central leader in the federal response to the 2009 flu epidemic.[41] Rather than closing schools and businesses, which would have led to wide-scale disruption, Napolitano advanced a strategy of proactive education for prevention. This included a basic virus-prevention education program.[42] Ultimately, as a result of the programs implemented by Napolitano and others, much of the damage expected from this flu was mitigated.[43]
Right-wing extremism memo
Napolitano was the subject of controversy after the release of a Department of Homeland Security threat assessment report that was seen as derogatory towards armed forces veterans.[citation needed] The report focused on potential threats from the radical right.[44] Rightwing [sic] Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment[45] was made public in April 2009. The report suggested several factors, including the election of the first black or mixed race president in Barack Obama, concerns regarding future gun control measures, illegal immigration, the economic downturn beginning in 2008, abortion controversy, and disgruntled military veterans' possible vulnerability to recruitment efforts by extremist groups as potential risk factors regarding right-wing extremism recruitment.[46]
