What It Takes to Get Fired From the Obama Administration
Yahoo! News ^ | 1-/25/13 | Michael Falcone - ABC News

Call it "Survivor: White House" edition.

Over the past week, one high-profile cabinet secretary managed to dodge an onslaught of Republican demands for her resignation while a lesser-known national security aide got the boot for a series of snarky anonymous tweets.

In fact, history has shown that it's actually not that easy to get fired from the Obama administration.

Over the past five years, just a few of those who serve at the pleasure of the president have been forcibly shown the door. Many more have weathered controversy and embarrassment and figured out a way to hold on for dear life. Still others know how to take a hint, choosing to resign rather than risk an unceremonious dismissal at the hands of the commander-in-chief.

all you have to do is speak the truth.

It's like sunlight to a vampire.

Telling the truth = fired in a second.

Telling lies and trying to destroy the People = cushy promotion.

Sometimes the math ain't that hard...

Oh, it’s easy to get fired, if you talk about what is really going on there. That’s why the NSC leaker got the boot.

Speak favorably about the Tea Party, Conservatives, or traditional American values.

I only read the headline, but this one is EASY.

You can eff up everything you are responsible for and not be fired, in fact you’re more likely to be promoted.

Utter one word against the annointed one, and you’re gone.

The Most Transparent Administration in US History, oh man, that is just such bitter, bitter hubris.

We are headed off a cliff, sorta like Dukes of Hazard, where they jump the swamp river, sounding the horn with engine roaring.

Firing in this administration is a good thing. They move you to another position with better pay and benefits. In the meantime you just have to lick his shoes every morning. It’s called Community Service.

Ideology and loyalty are the prime traits for advancement. Competence is optional.

Better yet..., what does it take to get fired by U. S. voters?

In the midst of this unprecedented failure known as ObamaCare, this is the only person who has been fired to date:

Easy if you have the Monica Media on your side.

Mr. President, isn't it true that Kathleen Sebaceous has something like 30 or more lawsuits filed against her because of your healthcare bill?

Yeah, so what's your point?
