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..."

The Government creates employment centers, instead of jobs.
The Government imports mass foreign labor, instead of jobs.

Former Obama Suckers, YOU created the unemployment mess ... SUFFER like a compliant subject.

Soon the suckers will realize the Government help is just FAKE NEWS.

“The downfall of the Bush administration was trying to play nice with these people... and they undermined everything he did.”

You remembered. Me too. remember when there were leaks almost DAILY from the WH during the Bush Iraq Years? I’m sure it was one of the Dummycrats. Every damn day the MSM destroyed Dubya and he didn’t make any move to retaliate. I doubt Trump will just let the MSM walk over him this time.

“Only 500? He should fire every last one of them.”

He's probably just firing the political staff. The White House has plenty of staffers to do things like mow the lawn, clean, maintain and repair the building and furnishings, archivists, waiters, chefs, florists, logistics people, event managers, horiticulturalists for the trees and shrubs, butlers, etc etc. There are even White House calligraphers for state dinners for foreign dignitaries. A lot of those people work through successions of Admins of both parties.

Trump won’t be President for more than two months; he can’t fire anyone now.

So sorry to hear/read that. But the Clinton’s did much worse - slandering the Travel office (and getting them arrested) and getting rid of them. And that was just one group. Your first cousin was a victim of Clinton purging. Again, so sorry for all that happened to him.

JOB RESUME = = = = = = = Date: Jan 1, 2011

Please Help! I have not worked for 5 years now.
I was last fired as an Obama employee in 2016.

I have no employable skills as a former Government employee.
If you want your Government employee, you can keep your Government employee.
I was told that by the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT Barrack Obama,
after Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson & Warren Harding,
but this time we REALLY mean it, the first one.

I never realized people actually worked to live.
Donald Trump created a YUGE number of private sector jobs.
But those require a skillset like talking, writing & reason.

My abilities are browsing the internet and playing video games,
for which I was compensated $135,000 a year.

But now I am desperate, I will clean cat boxes and mow lawns.
I can give speeches.
I will even take a cut in pay, to $130,000 a year.

Signed,
Hillary Rodham Clinton

They all knew when they hired on with Obama that the term was 8 years, max, and new presidents always change a lot of staff?

It is a temp job, at best.

In this economy, 8 years is a pretty good run.

Hmmm...

Nothing against the non-political / blue collar type staff, but, Trump is into efficiency — he should make a point of reducing the staff by at least 20%, and still getting better results and happier employees. :-)

Wow!
Unbelievable!

I mean, I might have answered in the affirmative had I been asked a pointed yes or no question about it, but — there it is in photographic proof: the whole group suffers mightily from RBF (Resting Bitch Face)!

Is that a libtard trait?

I’m sure that Georgetown helped let-go Bush White House employees in 2008, if they believed in Marxist “Liberation Theology”.

Otherwise it was FU.

He already has a very efficient team in place who have been working for him (I personally know the four top ones in Indiana). They brought the victory from state to state as campaign officer. Just waiting for the nod to move. IT people, office managers — all top quality people. Multiply that by 50 or 57 states. There’s the new WH staff Remember because there were so few hires people thought he had no ground team. THEY are efficient!
