The U.S. ambassador to Qatar, an Obama administration holdover whose family donated hundreds of thousands to the Obama campaign, signaled her distaste for working under President Donald Trump, raising questions about her commitment to the new administration.
Dana Shell Smith, the U.S. ambassador for Qatar who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, took to Twitter last week to express her frustration at Trump's administration, which has been battling negative headlines over a plethora of foreign and domestic issues.
"The problem is that the Obama administration left holdovers all over the government, so you get rid of one Obama loyalist and the replacement is another Obama loyalist," said one national security insider close to the Trump administration.
"That's already happened multiple times especially with Middle East appointments," the source said, referring to Lempert and Bauman.

Fake News.
If you want to tell your boss you hate him and want to quit,
why are you there?
This is BS.
Notice the issue is representing Trump but ok to represent Zero.
The loyalty should be to our constitution and nation.
Nobody does this. I was at DIA for months last year before the election and those people were just glad to be there.
They couldn’t do squat compared to my group.
Get rid of all of them. Make them submit a letter of justification as to why they should keep their positions..
Old NYTimes article breathlessly attacking Trump for getting rid of 0bama ambassadors.

“Because there are so many of them; it takes time to find them and replace them.”
Do ya think those places that keep track of who supports who are also infiltrated by Obummerites who are busy changing records re donations etc. to make it more difficult to find the subversives ??
Why is she still there?
Any number of us are retired, at least as qualified as those monied contributors sent by obungo, willing and able to go. There is no shortage of qualified candidates.
This is one of Trumps most foolish traits, misplaced trust and inaction on it.
She then ought to resign
If there isn't a whole lot of draining of the swamp, including taking leaders and other traitors out in handcuffs, the administration is doomed. The only thing that will shut up the press is if their sources end up in jail.
Exactly! It makes you wonder.
Does anything stop this administration from giving them seriously unpleasant assignments?
But they can be reassigned. They serve as ambassadors to a particular country at the pleasure of the president.
I could pick two dozen folks from my high school class and have them in place in a week. Trump ought to get with it !
