I didn’t miss anything. Cain apologists like to say this woman “works for Obama” but they leave out that she “worked for Bush” too. But never mind me, you need to go sharpen your pencil for next week and the need to smear yet another (and then another and another) Cain “bimbo.”
This is why we need to know what sort of job she has. Is she a political appointee, or is she regular civil service.
Remember Linda Tripp?
Bet you don't.
She and others like her regularly move back and forth from civil service positions to Schedule C, and then back again ~ it's called "retreating". Some federal agencies depend on this for continuity in the face of the disruption brought by political appointees.
So, unless you're ready, willing and able to come up with what sort of job she has then you're not really in this part of the debate.
