President Obama Introduces New Director of FBI

New Director James Comey Speaks on the Real Meaning of FBI

President Barak Obama opened a speech on Monday afternoon welcoming a new director of the FBI.

President Obama explained that the motto of the FBI is fidelity, bravery, and integrity, all being a part of what these participants live for. The President began to introduce the new director, James Comey, by saying that he has dedicated his life to defending the country. In fact, he said that there is no matter of justice that Comey has not tackled. 

Further, the president described Comey as being someone who has a calmness in a room during a crisis, and someone who has gained respect from people all over the spectrum. James Comey is the 7^th director of the FBI.

Upon standing at the podium, Comey thanked his loved ones as well as the president and other people who have helped him get to where he is now. He shared a quote said by his mother when he was younger, “rise and shine, show the world what you’re made of”.

Comey went on to further explain the meanings of Fidelity, Bravery and Independence.

First, he explained that fidelity has both the role of independence from all political forces and institutions, but also follows a specific rule of law and is part of a government security system. 

Next was bravery, which Comey described as not having no fear, but being able to mask that fear. He said that real agents have the same real fear that people do, but go and do those things anyway.

Finally was integrity, meaning the values and consistency that each and every member of the bureau gives forth to their organization.

James Comey accepted his installation and ended his speech by again thanking everyone who helped him get to where he is now.
