tagline update
She was hired in a transition team/start up position in Jan. 2011. Reads like she was just promoted today.
I suspect that she gave them the general’s head on a silver platter. Bet she knew EVERYTHING early on.
P4 is going to roll over and says as follows: Ät first we thought it was a response to the video, then we learned later is was more coordinated”
Anyone expecting him to be truthful is delusional.
Nachum, please include me!
I take back my post, you are correct. She did have the job earlier CNS is making this sound like a new position.
I’ll read better next time.
Can’t we just pay these people to go away? I mean, seriously, it would be worth it, and over the long haul, cheaper.
Radio host Glenn Beck referred to the University as “the dumping ground for the Center for American Progress” — a left-leaning advocacy organization — in his show on The Blaze on Monday, speculating that the Princeton presidency was an escape route for former CIA director David Petraeus GS ’87.
Beck said he was surprised Petraeus would want to “run the university where Van Jones is a professor. Where Peter Singer is a professor. Isn’t Cornel West [GS ’80] also a professor at Princeton?”
Jones and West, former Center for African American Studies faculty members, no longer teach at the University.
“I’m sorry, the university that has the Woodrow Wilson Center for Politics?” Beck said, presumably referring to the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. “Really? You’re going to go run that? They’re going to embrace him?”
In late October, Beck predicted the Obama administration would blame Petraeus for the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stephens in Benghazi, Libya, in September.
“Petraeus is going to be the fall guy,” Beck said at the time. “They’re going to have him step down. They’re going to point all fingers to him. You watch. He goes to Princeton. I think he goes to Princeton.”
Four days after University President Shirley Tilghman announced she would retire in June, The Daily Princetonian reported Petraeus was seriously interested in the presidency of his graduate alma mater.
It is not new but this is still a huge story. Obama was supposed to bring “transparancy” to Washington and avoid such old style patronage to unqualified cronies.
It is good that this predates the scandal because this ties the liberal general to Obama loyalty before his recent pro-Obama cover statements on Libya and his pro-faggot go-along and get-along position on military faggotry.
You got it :)
Makes sense. Boinking Broadwell may have cost him his CIA job, but it will be a feather in his cap and a plus in his CV as far as those yankee doodle universities are concerned.
See: she’s a poor working class Joe like the rest of us.
Now go pay your taxes, your government is broke. :)
Obvious payoff. Petraeus will support Obama regardless. There will be no revelation at the hearing. Our heroes have feet of clay.
One year - she is up for a raise!
You mean like an election was blatantly stolen, and more than half of the country knows it?
Combine that 187,000 with Petraeus general salary plus combat pay and you get a 1 percenter.
I have no idea what it is unless it has something to do with Benghazi. It could just be something from his past finally coming out.
There just seems to be something in the air which I haven’t felt for a long time.
I was actually feeling sorry for Holly Petraeus.
Another way to keep Petreus under the lid of not singing at the hearing scheduled Friday!!!
out of curiosity.... what did this general’s wife do in her last position?
what are her qualifications that allowed her to snag a plumb $190k/yr job?
I want to know... because I’M PAYING FOR IT !!
It appears to be a cluster foxtrot in an elevator shaft — with no elevator.
Obama should feel so sorry for me. My husband was a rat too.
Oh wait.
sfl
She works in the gilded palace of sin. Her paycheck is not signed by the Treasurer of the United States which is what Federale "workers" get. Her paycheck is signed by Ben Bernanke or whoever signs the paychecks at the Federal Reserve. Which is a private bank with some limited personnel appointed by the President to give it a veneer of accountability to the American people. But the people the Federal Reserve really answers to are the major banks that hold stock in it
Yep. It sounds like she actually put in some years getting experience for this general area, and a little less than $200K is pretty much in line with that kind of standard bureaucrat director-type job. (Unfortunately.)
Well, well, well.. Looks like Holly becomes part of the ‘sex scandal’ investigation, although I think it’s more of a ‘White House corruption’ investigation. 0bama is a shameless CHICAGO THUG. How does anything ever get done with such widespread corruption, bribery, extortion, payoffs, kickbacks, blah blah blah...
They create these agencies as a place to install those they want to payoff, IMO.
Breathtaking in it’s corruptness. The General won’t say $hit at the hearings; they bought the wife, and they don’t care who knows it.
It seems people are easily bought these days. Maybe an epic financial collapse would be just the right medicine for America. That’s when you find out what people’s true allegiances are.
Goes with the saying or warning : What the government gives the government can take away.
JANUARY 2011 : (”INNOCENCE OF MUSLIMS” VIDEO MAN MARC BASSELEY NAKOULA IS CAUGHT IN CANADA)
JANUARY 2011 : (OBAMA REPORTEDLY CANCELS A KILL MISSION AGAINST OBL-—see VALERIE JARRETT)
This is why I have a problem reading WND and CNS.
Seems they both have the ability to write sensational headlines but are divorced from reality or have their own reality.
I’d hardly think that taking on this position a year or two ago “recent”, implying that it was a pay back for hush money.?
Sounds like that do-nothing payoff job Michelle had at the Chicago hospital just because Barry was a US senator and was able to squeeze some money out of the federal budget for said hospital. Remember that?
“There just seems to be something in the air which I haven’t felt for a long time.”
Like the disappearance of about a billion people of the face of the Earth perhaps...who knows the timing?
But yeah, something major is about to blow. I think it will be the revelations of the whole set up of running weapons to Israel’s enemies and how President “Shuck and Jiver” can’t keep the facts hidden anymore!
Thank you for the ping, dearest Nachum!
The chances of General P. going nuclear on the Marxist are ..... slim.
This is payback for David P.’s testimony.
The media is in the tank for Obamugabe.
No one outside the conservative community will say a peep.
Thank you very much for that information.
Her friend, the newly elected MA Senator, Elizabeth Warren, appointed her to this cushy job.
Thick as thieves, these demonic-rats.
LOL!
Holly is a far-left Democrat....they are paying her HUSH MONEY with OUR MONEY!!! What the HELL does one do in the givernment making MORE THAN A CONGRESSMAN?????
The GIVERNMENT Party!!! They GIVE OUR MONEY to THEIR FRIENDS!
What is P4?
It’s now the Givernment.....they GIVE OUR MONEY to THEIR FRIENDS!
Who or What is P4?
P4 is Petraeus’ nickname.
Can you answer another question.....Are the Kelleys, the twin Natalie AND Paula Broadwell ALL BANKRUPT????
The Washington game is grotesquely corrupt, no doubt. This stuff goes on at the state and county level too.
I remember reading in a US history text book in high school decades ago how the patronage system provided the means for parties to give their operatives jobs between elections—and thus made a robust democratic system possible. Ha!
