(CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration named Holly Petraeus--wife of retired Gen. David Patraeus, who resigned last week as CIA director after revealing he had had an extra-marital affair--to $187,605-per-yer job in the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

If this was Nixon. Or Bush. Or even Eisenhower the MSM would be having a sh!tfit meltdown right about now.
But his holy mulato highness knows no scrutiny
Yes, and it has 2 flavors - Democrat and Republican.
They’ve had their chance. It is long past time for the Tea Party to run their own candidates. I’m no longer worried about taking votes from the Republicans because they are no longer standing for anything except entrenched bureaucracy.
Just to be clear, this is old news. She was got this job almost year ago and it was well known at the time.
Leverage.
Ok, we need to know specifically what person gave that Ben Franklin look-alike this job. Did that happen today? If so, these people just do not care what their actions look like to the public. These country is a freaking mess!!
While the general was screwing Paula, Holly was screwing us!

The depth of lies surrounding this “most transparent” administration is now far greater than the depth of the Earth. What’s worse, the liberal media isn’t doing any investigating of this administration whatsoever. In fact, CNN aired today on Anderson Cooper a story from Kings County Texas about a community that hates Obama. That is the type of “news” liberal media channels are going with in an all out blitzkrieg against the GOP.
Combination of bribe and threat. Petraeus has to play ball or the Regime cuts off his already PO’d wife, they face financial ruin and she definitely dumps him. He keeps his mouth shut on the witness stand and maybe Holly will let him grovel back into the doghouse.
You have forced me to take a second look at her ... and doggone it, she does look like a far left Democrat.
No wonder the General had such a sterling career -- he was probably happier away from home.
LOL... It ain’t just you. It’s making me dizzy.
I’d say that depends upon two things. First, how long ago the “affair” began (if there actually was an affair). And, second, when did Obozo provide his wife this position? From what this suggests, this is a recent appointment, while Petraeus has been having this alledged affair for at least a couple of months. If anything, this is a case of a “hush” position. Obozo doesn’t want Petraeus’ wife to talk.
This isn’t the first time Obama tries to keep people on the plantation. Obama’s MO when he is in some trouble.
That sort of explains why the General did what he did.
I work a difficult job and this bimbo gets a $187,000 job?.....
First try to blackmail him into covering up, then buy him off...
standard Marxist/Alinskite procedure
completely predictable
(note that there is a third method in their book to enforce compliance, namely an auto accident or other snuff job, and the General knows this, too...)
