Obama Staffers Mourn Trump’s Election
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 11/14/16 | Hoffmann

Posted on 11/14/2016 5:52:40 AM PST by pabianice

President Obama’s staffers at the White House are having a tough time coming to terms with the phrase “President-Elect Donald Trump.”

Trump on Thursday visited the White House to meet with Obama to discuss the transition between the two administrations.

Obama has tried to remain positive in his public statements, but the public expressions of his White House staffers paint a grimmer picture.

Staffers, including White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, can be seen in pictures surfacing on social media solemnly looking on as Trump arrives to meet with Obama. One staffer even appears to be crying in a picture.

On Wednesday, as Obama gave his first public statement after Tuesday night’s election, staffers looked on with disbelief that Trump had been elected. David Nakamura of the Washington Post captured the moment as White House staffers sadly watched Obama give his statement.

Remarkable scene in the Rose Garden where hundreds of grim-faced White House staffers showed up in solidarity for remarks from President Obama, with VP Biden at his side, on the election outcome. Obama pledged full cooperation with the Trump transition team and told his team to keep their heads up. After he finished and Obama and Biden returned to the Oval Office, the staffers applauded for more than a minute without saying a word. I've never seen anything like it. #obama #potus #whitehouse #rosegarden #trump #donaldtrump #biden #vp

No doubt they had been assured of a job in the CLINTON Administration. Now they are unemployed. I wonder if GEORGE SOROS will hire them in temp positions around the country?

Americans elected Obama twice in name of diversity & showing the world we are not a bunch of racist & xenophobic people. But if they really wanted diversity, they should have stayed away from a community organizer from south side of Chicago, who never ran even a hot dog stand effectively. There were many competent blacks available, such as Herman Cain, who actually ran something successfully. But they chose a tele-prompter reader instead.

Carter gave us Reagan. Obama gave us Trump. The pendulum swings.

They can “mourn” all they want. My dream is that they are indicted, tried and sentenced so they can “mourn” in a dank prison cell.

“Staffers, including White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, can be seen in pictures surfacing on social media solemnly looking on as Trump arrives to meet with Obama. One staffer even appears to be crying in a picture. “.......

Trump did say he was going to reduce federal government jobs by 35%, he can start with those crybabies.

Trumps FIRST words upon ascending the White House steps HAVE to be - “ YOU’RE ALL FIRED! “. I want to see the mass exodus of future suicides.

"Trump did say he was going to reduce federal government jobs by 35%, he can start with those crybabies."

As Obama appointees, they are gone by noon on inauguration day.

But what they are probably crying the most about is that the six/seven figure job market for Democrat insiders on K Street is much smaller than it was just 1 week ago. The vast left-wing liberal establishment will open their arms, but some of these people are still going to need to find real jobs.
