Scaramucci is the right man for the job
Washington Examiner ^ | July 21,2017 | Jennifer Kerns

Posted on 07/22/2017 7:28:33 AM PDT by Hojczyk

First, his impressive background will help President Trump better sell his pro-business agenda to the American people. As a former businessman and hedge fund manager, Scaramucci understands the complexities of tax reform, American business investment capital, and economics. As a former TV host, he can help the White House translate those complex reforms in a way that will be meaningful to the American people in the Rust Belt, the heartland, and beyond.

Second, while Democrats will critique his Wall Street ties, Scaramucci is actually a product of a self-described "middle class," upbringing as the child of a construction worker in Long Island, N.Y. It is undoubtedly where Scaramucci learned how to thrive as he went on to Goldman Sachs, where dues are paid by the sweat of one's hustle. In fact, the resilient Scaramucci was once hired, fired, and then re-hired by the firm, all in the same year. That ability to successfully ride out change is a trait that will serve him well in a White House where "change" is the order of the day.

Third, Scaramucci is a political operative. It may surprise Democrats that Scaramucci served as fundraiser for then-candidate Barack Obama in 2008 which gives him a boost of bipartisan credibility. That doesn't mean Democrats won't critique him; they will. But Scaramucci is someone who understands what endeared Obama to the press back then, and he carried a bit of that magnanimous swagger with him when he took over the podium today. You can bet that his media relationships will more closely resemble those of Obama than, say, President George W. Bush.

His views are the opposite of what I see here every day. Guns abortion climate change universal healthcare gay rights gay marriage..etc. he is a social liberal

He is over qualified for this job and may move to a different when it opens up. So is that okay.chief of staff...yellens job..etc

Or is this the top of the line for social libs...except for kushner. He will report directly to trump.

I will give him a chance..but dont pretend he holds the values of people here

The guy is apparently for gun control and CO2 reductions.

Not a move in the right direction IMHO.

Agree. He was picked by Ivanka and Jared. Big red flag for me. I hope it works out, and I guess it could if he doesn’t get immersed in policy. If he just sticks to being DJT’s mouthpiece it might be OK.

Couldn’t figure out why I was seeing so many quotes on twitter from mark twain and scaramucci. The quote doesnt even sound like mark twain

Its because scarmucci took a quote that is wrongly attributed to mark twain Dont know if he did it on purpose or if he just pulled it off the net

Nice quote. Nice sentiment
not mark twain...

Donald’’s Achilles Heel is a naivete about people. Watch what they do Donald. Scaramucci is as big a mistake as Ryan.

Against the wall and 2nd Amendment and apparently pure ambition. Sigh.

I realize good real Americans are scarce (NOT AINO) but there ARE sufficient out there, although it’s beginning to look like that “No ‘Mo PC” didn’t stick!
