It must be great to be emperor so you can “buy loyalty” with money confiscated from the peons.
How do you stuff this genie back in the bottle? How do you reduce the pay back to what is market rate? I guess you just reduce it. Where else are people like this going to go? I mean, there isn’t a lot of demand for a skill set of coordinating Easter Egg Rolls and T-ball... I mean full time anyway.
We clearly see that Mr. Obama has been seriously misjudged and an apology is owed to this ‘president’ who could have just as easily been a captain of industry.
He creates jobs in the White Hut that appear to be meaningless, but what do we know? And then he rewards these government employees with large raises that don’t seem to mean anything. There’s surely no merit in these jobs that warrant salary increases: they’re already paid twice as much as a commensurate position outside the walls.
Therein lies the man’s enormous intellect. With raises like these the employee may think, being overpaid, that he should perform even more duties and therein lies the genius in this remarkable president.
I think the House GOP should cancel next year’s ‘State of the Union’ and cut a check with a note to the White House: “here’s a check to help keep the tours open, if you need more funds we’ll look for other ways to cut ...”
Seems like obama is closing the White House to the general public. These tours were self guided.
Watch to see if they are ever reinstated.
The White House Visitors Director, one Ellie S. Schafer, has the look of a “carpet muncher” .... just saying ....
Ellie, the daughter of former Republican North Dakota governor and Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer, joined his Administration two weeks ago.
