What is a charismatic? And how is Obama one?
Must have been a long cold winter...
He is professional BSer, A charismatic, a community agitator, a charlatan, a flim flam man, a snake oil salesman, carney barker....
And he is good at it.
Got it. Like Elmer Gantry.
I can not believe Apple hired Lisa Jackson.
Yessir
At 2:30, Megyn Kelly will be interviewing those tea partiers who will appear tomorrow before congress. I wonder if Sekulow will be with them.
(yes ma’am)
No way I would let her in.
And what is her title there?
She aint no high Tech person, but she is a threat to the commerce there.
Why would they hire her?
To go green?
They will end up Red.
After all of those personal references that she had from the US Senate, what choice did Apple really have?
"You'd better hire her, or else....."
Umm last I time I took a crap my ****’s were in the water LOL
She is a trojan horse.
They hired her several days after being grilled by Congress. It was payoff.
I don’t like it.
America’s most successful company.
Fight back
The last 5 years have felt like I am living in the movie “Brazil” LOL
Why Did Apple Hire Lisa Jackson?
The Wall Street Journal’s Joseph Rago sums up Jackson’s tenure this way in a reaction to the news of her new job at Apple: “At the EPA Ms. Jackson proved to be an especially abusive and willful regulator, even for the Obama administration, and her epic rule-making bender continues to drag on economic growth. But nothing about her career suggests any expertise in technology; prior to her EPA posting Ms. Jackson was a political functionary in New Jersey and New York.”
So why would Apple hire her? Rago suggests that Apple executives, who are being dragged in front of congressional committees for obeying tax laws and making money, might think bringing Jackson on board would insulate them from the political attacks. At the Washington Examiner, Tim Carney asks: “Will Jackson’s job be about chasing subsidies for the renewable investments Apple is already making?” Whatever the reason, if her past experience is any indication, even with the best of intentions it will be counterproductive and costly.

Before coming back to the federal EPA, Jackson ran the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection during the Corzine administration (before becoming Corzine’s chief of staff). Though Jackson seems to have steered clear of the corruption around her, the state’s environmental apparatus has played an important role in Jersey’s corrupt state Democratic machine, which went something like this: miles of red tape were backed up by the use of obscure and blatantly irrelevant laws to make building a structure–home or commercial–in many cases close to impossible. That enabled politicians and bureaucrats at various state agencies to go looking for bribes and kickbacks to cut through that tape or to change zoning laws to increase favored property values.
The regulations won bureaucrats high marks from environmental lobbies, but they didn’t actually make anybody safer because they were bypassed by greasing the wheels. When such corruption schemes were busted, as one high-profile one was in 2009, suddenly thousands of residents all over the state had no idea if their buildings were safe, because the building inspectors were also bribed. And then on top of that, the corrupt politicians routinely win the endorsements of the environmental groups that push for the rules that don’t get enforced, encourage corruption, and reduce everyone’s safety.
Welcome to New Jersey.
