Kathleen Sibelius employs the metaphor in a press release in conjunction with National Preparedness Month. She even manages to get the phrases "federal family" and "community coming together" in the same sentence:
"While our federal family is becoming better prepared to support the nation, we know that being truly resilient requires the whole community coming together," she said.
She's not the only comandante in the MEC regime to use this terminology:
At his swearing-in ceremony on Aug. 29, B. Todd Jones, director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, talked about the ATF agents who pitched in to help local law enforcement in Aurora, Newtown, Boston, and West Texas: "It's as close as you're going to get to blue-collar law enforcement in the federal family," he said.
Seven days earlier, on Aug. 22, David Heyman, an assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, told a Washington think tank how the town of Joplin, Missouri had recovered from a devastating tornado "in partnership with the federal family.
And on July 10, Richard Serino, the deputy administrator of FEMA, told a Senate panel that the Boston Marathon bombing "was determined to be a high risk event. This determination resulted in enhanced attention to the event across the federal family..."
Creepy.
