President Obama Names Transgender Appointee to Commerce Department
ABC News ^ | 1/4/10 | Staff

Posted on 01/04/2010 7:58:26 AM PST by reaganrevolutionin2010

President Obama recently named Amanda Simpson to be a Senior Technical Advisor to the Commerce Department.

In a statement, Simpson, a member of the National Center for Transgender Equality's board of directors, said that "as one of the first transgender presidential appointees to the federal government, I hope that I will soon be one of hundreds, and that this appointment opens future opportunities for many others."

A 2004 YWCA "Woman on the Move," Simpson recently served as Deputy Director in Advanced Technology Development at Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona.

At Raytheon, Simpson -- a former test pilot who had worked for the company for more than a generation -- transitioned from male to female and was instrumental in convincing the military contractor to add gender identity and expression to its equal employment opportunity policy.

She later ran unsuccessfully for Congress and was a delegate for then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, to the Democratic National Convention in 2008.

It should say “It” and not “she”

The White House must have an entire office that does nothing other than find and identify these FREAKS. Speaks volumes for BO’s priorities. We are supposed to believe that there was not a single NORMAL person qualified for this position?

"President Obama recently named Amanda Simpson..."

Actually, the first name is spelled incorrectly. It should be: "A Man? Duh!"

Anyone confused about their identity a mental problem. Just what we need, another messed person, in a position of power.

God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.

Aside from being neutered, what qualifications does he/she have? Seems a pretty thin resume. At least there probably isn’t any connection to terrorists, which is a step up.

Next he will appoint someone from NAMBLA.

My bad, he's already got that base covered - the Safe School Czar.

Not only do they have a mental problem, but the mental problem manifests in a way that drives them to MUTILATE themselves.

Geeze. Oboma is really into this homosexual stuff. I guess those guys who claimed to be Obomas college lovers weren't making it up.

Odd. I thought Hillary Clinton was the first transgender appointee.

Gotta look at it this way......0 has no qualifications.....can’t appoint someone with more qualifications than he has.....might endanger his “authority”......

This will appease some of his far left base who haven’t been too happy lately.

What a mess he’s making of our country.

You could ask the same question of the whole administration. What qualifications do any of them have? Even the President. Our country has become the laughing stock of the world. Time to make changes.
