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.

The economy is booming. They should have multiple offers pouring in.

Trump will refill with a fraction of these people and achieve a much higher performance level.

Most employers are really looking for candidates who view working for them as a chance to recharge their batteries.

“The downfall of the Bush administration was trying to play nice with these people.”

That’s what I thought. After this election, I now think he played nice because he is one of them.

One of them. One of them. One of them. (/Freaks)

Other than ass-kissing, those skills would be....?

Why don’t they stand on the unemployment line like the rest of Americans?

They're speshul snowflakes who went to {fill in 'egalitarian' aristocratic school here}.

Besides, if they were in the unemployment line they might be recognized and redirected towards the tumbrils...

Once more, I’ll believe this and other things when the authorized Trump people announce it.

The media has no credibility with me. I don’t care who they are.

Trump’s authorized spokespersons are my only trusted people on these things.

“Why are there 500 staffers in the White House?”

Aren’t a few hundred of them personal servants and alleged family members of Michael Obama?

I’d think a WH staffer who hadn’t had other opportunities lined up this year isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Political jobs are the ifiest of all jobs. Betcha Comey has his resume up to date.

Steve Bannon’s pretty tight with The Center for Security Policy who has documented and studied the MB in the USA. They know who all of the infiltrators are.
