‘There Are No Jobs’: Obama Loyalists Scramble To Find Work
Daily Caller ^ | 1/8/16 | Ted Goodman

Posted on 01/09/2017 8:46:04 AM PST by DeathBeforeDishonor1

Outgoing White House staff and President Obama-appointees are struggling to find new work after Donald Trump and Republicans generally swept into office last November.

Thousands of Obama loyalists are struggling to find work in a city now dominated by the GOP, according to a report from Politico. “It feels like there are just thousands of us trying to find a job, and there are no jobs,” Mira Patel, a longtime Clinton aide told Politico.

Democratic operatives and Obama staffers no longer have the more than 4,000 presidential appointed jobs to transition to after President-elect Trump takes office.

Politico describes how a generation of young operatives from the Hillary Clinton campaign and failed down-ballot races are still managing their “shock and grief” from Clinton’s loss.

As ye sow so shall ye reap.

This administration hired enough know nothing do nothings to fill all the stadiums in the country.

Buh-bye.

Problem is, out of work they will be on the dole. At least they will not be spending so much of our money.

Ms. Patel, as a Clinton aide, please describe your typical workday . . .

According to Pelosi, the passage of Obamacare eliminates ‘job lock’ and gives them freedom to become photographers, artists and filmmakers

And poets.

Don't forget the poets.

They just might get a job in a few months that Trump brought back to America. Wouldn’t that really be the rub!

The dems are still blind-sided by their loss. They don’t know how they lost even though it seems obvious to anyone else with eyes to see. They have no big picture narrative to stand on, discuss and use as talking points to make their world turn. They may never figure out why they lost either with the msm continuing to pump out fake news for them to consume like fake food. The longer the lost dems stand around like confused borg clones, the easier it will be to move them aside.

These people are in their own Tulip period, walking by turtles with candles on their backs and surveying Topkapi’s beautiful gardens at twilight/evening. These people amaze themselves and have no powers of observation of events outside palace grounds.

I wonder why, after 8 years with these cretins running rampant, destroying sector after sector of the economy with political interference and insanely excessive overregulation, there are no jobs for them.

Maybe wrecking the economy wasn’t such a good idea after all?

and there are no jobs

Bu.. bu... but your buddy Obama did such a wonderful job of creating jobs.

What - you aren't qualified to flip burgers?

This can’t be true. Haven’t they heard about the roaring obama economy?

“It feels like there are just thousands of us trying to find a job, and there are no jobs,” Mira Patel, a longtime Clinton aide told Politico.

That kind of goes with the territory when you work as a political aid and your failed candidate doesn't even know your name.

I don't mean to be harsh, it's tough to lose your job. It all depends. If you have any actual marketable job skills, you may be able to leverage them and find something in the private sector. The economy is sky rocketing since Trump got elected, so there may be some hope for you.

If all you can do is be a loyal Democrat with the correct racial and political bonafides, it's gonna be tough for for the next 4 to 8 years. Good luck with that Feminist Theory degree. Maybe you can get your money back.

Well, to quote a recent wage, “ These jobs are going away, and they’re never coming back.” It’s time for them to train for tomorrow’s jobs...At Starbucks, at Amazon Fulfillment Centers.

They should have known that an incoming administration would bring in their own loyal teams with them.

What did they think was going to happen to all the Bush staff and his Cabinet Secretary's staffs after Obama came to town? Did they not pay attention in 2009? Who's vacant apartments did they lease?

Those idiots thought they were going to be in power forever and of course, sh&t happens. With all the “jobs” they claim are available, perhaps they can take one of those “bogus” jobs. Payback can be a bitch.

These fearful government workers need fear not if they have their own car.
Cars may not be too cozy to sleep in, but they have sufficed for some of the good people I’ve known over the past 5-6 years. Also, there are neighborhood church run food banks, which has been another source of nutrition for millions of working people during the brilliant Obama’s tenure
