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.

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!"

To: reaganrevolutionin2010
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.
To: Joe 6-pack
Next he will appoint someone from NAMBLA.
My bad, he's already got that base covered - the Safe School Czar.

President Obama Names Transgender Appointee to Commerce DepartmentGeeze. Oboma is really into this homosexual stuff. I guess those guys who claimed to be Obomas college lovers weren't making it up.
To: DungeonMaster
Odd. I thought Hillary Clinton was the first transgender appointee.
To: Always Right
Gotta look at it this way......0 has no qualifications.....can’t appoint someone with more qualifications than he has.....might endanger his “authority”......

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.

If CSI: Washington shows up and analyzes blood samples found at a crime scene where A-man-duh was the perp, would they determine that a man or a woman committed the crime?
I think we have our answer about the sex of this horribly confused and psychologically unstable MAN.

I don’t care about gender. But, I do care about ability. Thus far, the head loon has chosen no one of ability.
To: Gorzaloon
“No, that was Janet Reno.”
Actually I believe she was the first trans-species appointee. More than just man and woman were involved in that. I'm pretty sure bigfoot and a wookie had a hand in there somewhere!

Speaking of "Simpsons" and "Amandas", for some reason, the following little scene from the Simpsons popped into my head when I read this article:
Bart (into phone): Hello, may I speak with Amanda? Amanda Hugnkiss?
Moe the Bartender (w/hand over receiver, shouting over bar noise to his patrons): Is there an Amanda here? Amanda Hugnkiss? I'm looking for Amanda Hugnkiss!
(laughter from bar patrons, whereupon Moe realizes he's been "had")
(Moe then utters an ultra-violent threat of bodily harm into the phone at the "crank caller")

Blacks ,queers, perverts, transgenders ,tax cheats, thats what it takes to be an Obama appointee.
What an administration. God help us get to 2012 and then give us a good Conservative we can vote for.

First time I’ve seen “0bama” and “Transgender” in a headline.
Anyone want a side-bet on “Transgender” being the reason 0bama is hiding his birth certificate?

This is certainly a liberal thing. The throwback, Bubba Clinton, appointed his share of freakazoids, also. Donna Shalalalala, Janet Reno and Robert Reichshshshshshshshshshshsh-ah come to mind.

"...She later ran unsuccessfully for Congress..." Good ‘ole ABC can't seem to get any facts right.
Amanda never ran for Congress - we are represented by Giffords -- ”give me $$ for solar power”...
She ran for State Representative (not even the State Senate), and lost to two (R)s
In 2004, the YWCA recognized her as one of their Women on the Move, and in the same year, she won the Democratic nomination to the Arizona House of Representatives.

Last time I checked transgenderism is still in the DSM under mental disorder.. The Prez just appointed someone with a known mental imbalance.. Go figure, but perhaps it all fits, since it appears the Prez is also suffering from narcissism, ego mania, and a variety of other well documented illnesses.. :)

To: reaganrevolutionin2010
Why is this person considered more female than
John Wayne Bobbitt whose wife ... "while in the kitchen she noticed a carving knife on the counter and ... entered the bedroom where John was sleeping and proceeded to cut off ... After assaulting her husband Lorena left the apartment with the severed penis, drove a short while, then rolled down the car window and threw the penis into a field." Liberals seem to think there's a difference, but I'm not sure why being emasculated by a surgeon makes this appointee female, while the same procedure performed by an angry wife makes Bobbit a victim but still more or less male.
