from the article, he started as a van driver for Senator Obama

... 32-year-old Vietor.... His first job for Obama was as the driver of a press van, and he rose up the ranks through the 2008 campaign, and then the White House press office, to become the National Security Council spokesman

Will Sharpton or Rev. Wright be the next President? No, that office is reserved for one of Cesar Chavez grandsons. It’s only fair. It’s a Hispanic’s turn.

Actually, Al Haig’s (in)famous comment was made when Ronaldus Magnus had been shot and nobody really knew his condition yet. Other than that I agree with you 100%.

Who the hell is this dude, Tommy Vietor? Is he one of those guys from an 80s “big hair” band? I never heard of him until yesterday.

Great examples of Obama's absolute and total contempt for this country and the American people, that he would put such incompetent, unqualified persons in such critical positions

(Narcissistic Personality Disorder involves arrogant behavior, a lack of empathy for other people, and a need for admiration; all of which must be consistently evident at work and in relationships.)

Obama's below average abilities and qualification require that he surround himself with the lowest possible level of associates in order for him to maintain his self image of superiority.

Morell looked like the weasel he is when he testified - made me sick to my stomach watching that little show. I think DC/government is so corrupt & “incestuous” at this point, from the top down & including the enemedia, that I don’t believe the situation (government corruption, downard slide into financial collapse and rapid embrace of Sodom/Gomorroh lifestyles, etc.) is salvageable by any current political party (GOPe=Dems) or one president. There are patriots who may possibly raise the American Phoenix from the ashes one of these days.

Sounds a lot like that Craig Livingstone who was mixed-up in all of the Clinton’s nonsense.

Did you catch him on Fox News last night calling Bret Baier “Dude!”?

Yes, and I was appalled. I took one look at this "kid", who is running something in our State Department, and, I realize that Benghazi was the logical outcome of having such incompetent and inexperienced clowns in positions of authority.

.....among Obama's appalling foreign policy appointees is UN Ambassador Samantha Power. Another Vietor clone---given US power who sees America as fundamentally wrong in its global policies (sound familiar?)....

BACKCHANNEL.COM-June 5, 2013 by Laura Rozen

>

EDITED President Obama's National Security Advisor Tom Donilon will step down, to be succeeded by UN envoy Susan Rice, the White House announced Wednesday. President Obama will nominate his former White House advisor and humanitarian expert Samantha Power to be the next US envoy to the United Nations.

The announcement comes in advance of President Obama’s first meeting with China’s President Xi, in California later this week. Donilon has made the US “rebalance” to Asia a focus of his tenure as Obama’s top national security advisor, and traveled to China late last month to discuss the agenda.

The Back Channel reported May 3rd that Donilon was expected to step down this summer, several months earlier than previous reports had suggested. Among his considerations, associates said, was that he had been doing this for over four long years, and family medical issues.

(Sources say that Donilon’s wife Catherine Russell, former chief of staff to the Vice President’s wife Jill Biden, is recovering from a medical issue. Obama earlier this spring nominated her to be his next ambassador at large for global women’s issues.)

White House associates say Rice and Power, like Donilon, are trusted Obama advisors who have been in his inner circle of national security confidants going back to his 2008 presidential campaign. As such, sources anticipated a relatively smooth transition and a good deal of continuity on major foreign policy issues.

“I think the interesting thing about this transition is it’s clearly been planned for a long time,” former White House spokesperson Tommy Vietor told Back Channel. “It’s not a shake up. It’s a transition in which Susan and Sam can hit the ground running because they have been doing it for four years.”

Obama’s national security team is surpassed in braindeadness only by Hillary’s all-girl State Dept team.

Mmmmmm....can you just imagine the sexual vibes when the national security team meets the State Dept team at “meet and greet” night.

Betcha Tommy-V-boy gets his pick of the State Dept chicks. Luckily he’s still got the van he used to drive Obama around in...... (cackle)
