President Obama / Amanda Simspon

.- President Obama recently appointed a “transgendered” man as a Senior Technical Adviser to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Amanda Simpson, a former test pilot for Raytheon who now identifies himself as female, will serve in the Bureau of Industry and Security. Critics of the appointment argue that it is "political correctness run amok."
Simpson, a board member of Out & Equal and the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE), said on Dec. 31 that he is “truly honored to have received this appointment” and expressed a desire “that this appointment opens future opportunities for many others.”
“What's unfortunate,” said Matt Barber, Director of Cultural Affairs for the Liberty Counsel, is that Simpson “has a history of radical transgender activism.” Barber explained to CNA that the issue is not simply having a transgendered person in a prestigious position of authority in the government, but the apparent agenda that this individual has.
“He may very well be qualified for this position but it appears that he was not picked (merely) for his qualifications, he was picked because of his wardrobe,” Barber commented to CNA. “That is not diversity or tolerance. It's political correctness run amok.”
Speaking to ABC News, Mara Keisling, the executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, countered, "This is a real serious technical policy position and the job matches her resume. Her being transgender had nothing to do with getting that job."
However, Barber continued to express his concern regarding the future ramifications of Simpson's appointment, arguing that it is part of a larger movement within the current administration.“With hate crimes legislation and ENDA (Employment Non Discrimination Act) and other radical GLBT pieces of legislation that are being pushed by the Obama Administration,” Barber told CNA, those who disagree with the GLBT perspective “literally can and will face criminal or civil penalty.”
Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth voiced similar concern on the Focus on the Family Action website on Jan. 4. “Is there going to be a transgender quota now in the Obama Administration? How far does this politics of gay and transgender activism go? Clearly this is an administration that is pandering to the gay lobby,” he said.
Barber added that in his opinion “there is no doubt” that Simpson's appointment “is an effort to normalize” transgender issues and “desensitize” American society.
Ping!
..this administration is like the bar scene from “Star Wars”
Not just the administration, the whole disgusting Democrap Party!
This is how far the Democrats are willing to go in order to get somebody moderately attractive on their team.
This isn’t an ‘Administration’, it’s a Freak Show!
This just shows there are no “normal” people left in the DNC.
The sad part of this understanding is how did normal society allow this person and his party take the power and reigns of government.
If I dress like Napoleon and demand to be called Emperor, does that make me in fact Napoleon, or crazy?
And what does it say about the folks who would actually call me Emporer?
These people who commit substantial genital mutilation always bother the people who are forced to work around them. You just never know if they’re done with the cutting or have other targets in mind.
i think the best person to hold the Senior Technical Adviser to the U.S. Department of Commerce job is a person who primarily self identifies as a Senior Technical Adviser to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
that might sound funny, but 0bama is putting too many people in job X whose primary self identity has something to do with sex or some left agenda.
what’s the primary identity of the ‘safe school czar’? that of someone concerned about safe schools? what’s the primary identity of the Homeland Security person? Homeland Security?
Now that’s funny!
Most Obama appointees come standard issue without funtioning brains. As proof I offer this apponitee, how could anyone with a fully functioning brain become ...
If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?
Four - doesn’t matter what you call it, a tail is not a leg.
WWLD?
What would Lazamataz do?
This is a great opportunity for a political poster.
Find a before picture.
Put it to the right of the after picture with his male name under it.
Caption:
Q: Which person did Obama appooint? A: Both, they are the same person. He now dresses as a woman.
I love the intentional use of “he”.
Cutting off your male genitals does not make you a woman.
Actually, it strikes me that someone who is so mentally and emotionally confused that he cannot even decide his gender is a perfect fit for this administration.

What, Chaz Bono wasn’t available? Oh, yuck!
What is that called? An "ambiguous pronoun"? Which "he" are you referring to? :)
So yeah, the person is weird. BUT, I’m more concerned whether this person is qualified for the job. If so then I don’t have a complaint. But if this is another affirmative action appointment - like so many of Obama’s staff - then it’s just wrong.
. Look at all the incompetent fools around him ,,,the VP ,homeland security ,just to name a few , just to make himself look like the smart one....
If there’s no magic koolaid that leaches all the y chromosome out of him, he’s a he.
For some people, every day’s a holiday. But...why Halloween?
Zeut Allors! You CAN’T be Napoleon. I AM!!!!
ROFL!!!! Excellent analogy!
What ever happened to him?
And just as trustworthy as the patrons.
Didn’t the Emperor Nero appoint a horse to the Roman Senate during his tragic tenure?
It’s all about the appearance of political correctness. It is, afterall, how the ‘bama got his job.
Why do we have to participate in these people’s delusions? A man I am aquainted with this past fall announced he was now Molly and expected to be treated like one of the girls. He is Bill to me and always will be....
someone on Red Eye last night said “the good thing is now that it is a woman we can pay her less”
Lol ... thanks, I needed that :-)
At least she really is a rocket scientist.

...Simpson is highly qualified for the position. She has worked in the aerospace and defense industry for 30 years, most recently serving as Deputy Director in Advanced Technology Development at Raytheon Missile Systems. She holds degrees in physics, engineering and business administration, and is a certified flight instructor and test pilot with 20 years of experience."
I refuse to call him a “she.” He is not a woman, he is a poor, deluded amputee. We are not obligated to go along with the fantasies generated by his mental illness.
Comic book antics.
There is so much comedy there.
The dude got hired, or helped his case, by cutting his dick off.
The idea that cutting your dick off will help you get a job with the Obama administration is funny.
As Rush would say...
Chopadickoffamy
This administration is so obsessed with the freaks and the violators.... Pedophile “safe school czar” being case in point.
Notice her name is:
Amanda or A-MAN (da).
