Obama Installs Enthusiastic James Comey as New Director of FBI

 After what seemed much deliberation and fierce competition Obama installed James Comey as the new director of the FBI. Comey's resume is filled with impressive accomplishments, but what set him apart from the rest of the competition was his calm and cool nature. Obama puts his whole trust in Comey while also warning him that the "country expects a lot" from him.

 Comey followed up with an introductory address which was overtly grateful. He spent much of his time thanking family and friends who helped him reach this point, then rather abruptly goes into what the FBI's crest means to him. He indicates Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity- the words on the FBI's crest- are the cornerstone of the institution.

Fidelity to Comey is and indication that the FBI wont overreach, and indicates the condemnation of Martin Luther King JR. as an example of such overreach. He says that each new member will be required to attend the WW2 memorial and the MLK memorial to show them the atrocities when things go astray.

Comey defines bravery as "the willingness to endure fear" not the absence of fear. He stresses this point and even compares his fear about his upcoming 10 years, to the fear of his colleagues.

Finally, Comey Indicates integrity as the most important attribute for the FBI. He says the integrity of the FBI is "a gift that must be protected and earned" at all cost. Nothing is worth risking integrity to Comey.
