Trump Fires 500 Obama Staffers… Dems Panic
End the Fed ^ | 11/17/16

Posted on 11/19/2016 9:21:13 AM PST by Enlightened1

Donald Trump is reportedly firing around 500 of Barack Obama’s staffers, as he plans to completely fill the White House with his own team.

The Federalist Papers reported that though it’s likely that Hillary Clinton would have let most of Obama’s people go so that she could hire her own staff, Trump’s win closed the door on the possibility of any of Obama’s staffer sticking around. The fired staffers have gotten so desperate about their employment situation that Obama has brought in representatives from Facebook, Instagram and other companies to offer insights into the job market. According to CBS News, Linkedin officials are helping Obama’s staff find ways to market their skills.

Georgetown University, which is located close to the White House, has designed a custom professional development program they call “Future44,” Obama is the 44th president, to teach Obama’s political appointees how to build their lives after the White House. The program is free of charge thanks to an anonymous donor, and participants register for either four 2-hour evening sessions or one 8-hour “boot camp.”

“We designed this unique curriculum to help these staffers think through how to market themselves or market their competencies,” said Kelly Otter, dean of Georgetown’s School of Continuing Studies.

Many of Obama’s staffers will likely end up in liberal cities like New York or San Francisco working for companies that cater to millennials such as Amazon, Snapchat, Google, Vice, etc.

“The transition out of government is a reality for most appointees, which brings both excitement about prospects for the next chapter or a long-awaited chance to recharge batteries, and a keen awareness about a big, impending change,” said White House spokeswoman Jennifer Friedman.

Ivan Adler, a headhunter at McCormick Group, explained that Obama’s staffers are about to face a major change in life that may be hard..."

If they were capitalists instead of socialists, they could form their own company: Lawyers, Liars, and Losers!

Maybe they should get together and start a new law firm: Dowe, Dickum, & Howe LLP

"....how to market themselves or market their competencies,”

Now there is an oxymoron to end all oxymorons...

Sorry, but Bush did NOT “start” two wars. The monsters who flew airplanes into the twin towers started those wars. If he had not responded, he would have been in dereliction of duty.

The other stuff imight be arguable, but that is not.

There is permanent staff at the White House but it is mostly those that do service work.

Obama’s been eating Kobe beef, not soul food.

And smoked ham hocks and beans are great with a slab of iron skillet corn bread, I don’t care who you are.

market their competencies

Marketing is the second challenge, finding their competencies is the first and much harder...

We’re gonna need a bigger drain pipe for this swamp.

Maybe they can borrow Big Bertha from Boston to make the pipe.

No only that...but bigger pumps to go with it.

I’m sure someone here has already posted this, but how do you develop a website and a curriculum in less than 2 weeks. This website makes it sound so egregious that over 500 Obama staffers are going to need new jobs. And, BTW, if Hillary had won she would be replacing them with her people too, as stated in the article.

That’s right, but the alternative was Gore and Kerry. GWB has been a disappointment in many ways, but I don’t regret my vote.

I want to see a repeat of Clinton’s firing of 93 Attorneys General.

Day one.

Lol, didn’t see your post, and said nearly the same thing, complete with “Day one.”

Exactly. If Bush had done nothing after 3000 Americans had been killed in one day, the screams of protest would have been a lot louder, and would have been valid.

Bush did the right thing on both counts. There is a lot I disagree with his handling on, INCLUDING facets of actions in both Afghanistan and Iraq, but overall, he did the right thing.

WE did the right thing.

Citrus harvesting time here in Florida.
Many, not all might be qualified to pick oranges or grapefruit.
Over in Plant City, Florida it will be Strawberry harvest time real soon.
Maybe obammy’s people could go there and pick strawberries.
Worthless socialist mookabookers/.
