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..."

Since they are all displaying depression and other mental disorders after the election, it’s probably best that Trump gets rid of them. They need some time off to seek help with their mental disorders, relax and maybe mellow out with a little yoga, Starbucks or something. They should go home and spend more time with their families.

I remember when Bill Clinton took office. My 1st cousin, a Navy VET, had been working in the White House since Nixon. The phone company was told to replace him. He got laid off, lost his health care, developed cancer, and was dead in two short years.

These are not private sector types. Academia, non-profits, and crony capitalist entities are the only places they can get jobs.

It seems every change of party has its own WH staff. This is kind of a non news story to gin up even more anger on the left.

Well, how very unlike Obama, who kept on all of Bush’s staffers and appointees.

Oh, wait. . . .

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.

About 500 now, only about several million to go!

Yup, clean out all the bloated agencies too, especially the MB infiltrators.

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

This is nothing new.

Yeah...it kind of is. GWB never did this. He left a lot of Clinton goons entrenched.

This is what I've been hoping for from Trump. Get rid of all of them.

Q. What do you call firing 500 Obama Administration staffers?
A. A good start.

This seems a bit odd ...

on the 14th:

Trump's aides were also apparently unaware that the entire staff of the president working in the White House's West Wing would need to be replaced, according to The Journal.

and now "Panic"? Excuse me, but whose staff was unaware "that the entire staff of the president working in the White House's West Wing would need to be replaced"?

>>to offer insights into the job market

Thanks to your boss, it sucks! Welcome to the world of “we need you to do the job of 3 and it pays half of what we used to pay one because, you know, the job market is that bad”.
