Labor Secretary Hilda Solis Will Resign
slate ^

Posted on 01/09/2013 1:26:50 PM PST by Perdogg

I'm told that Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis will step aside soon, making her the five member of the administration to leave the cabinet (or announce her deparature) since the election. Only two of these departures -- Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner -- are white and male. Lisa Jackson, who's leaving the EPA, is African-American, and Solis was the first Hispanic woman to take charge of Labor.

Calendar year 2011 saw the fewest-ever mine fatalities.

That's from her letter, regarding her resignation, to her staff.

Killing the mining industry has reduced mine fatalities.

By the time Obama gets done, very very few industries will have any fatalities, unless you consider unemployment an industry.

I also get the impression that some just get tired after the 4 years. It is awfully demanding working at that level, even if you don’t like the results.

Only a person who writes for slate would think the most important thing about the number of cabinet officers resigning in recent days is the color of their skin.

Or if they were gay.

Another Solis falls from power? Hmmm...Robin Redcap may still be plying his trade. She should stay away from large kettles and angry peasants just in case.

Super-obscure reference, I know, I know...

When I think about Hilda, my mind goes back to these cute racy little calendars which adorned the lunch room wall of a shop where I once worked.

Yeah, women worked there too and none of them complained.

She probably wants to go crawl in a bottle after seeing the UNEXPECTED job forecast.

The Obama cabinet purges are well underway. The liberal fascists are now being replaced by fascist thugs willing to use extortion, blackmail, and other conduct contrary to the Constitution to achieve their destructive ends.

No question, Obama and his thugs mean to destroy our country politically ( usurp due process and the balnce between the 3 branches), socially ( divide and conquer conflist) and economically ( borrow the economy into indebtedness that will cause war).

Whty people are blind to what Obama is doing is another matter, but lets just say Obama has a very accomplished propaganda organization. We must destroy it.
