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.

Smith, you free loader, then quit.
Call that ambassador home, let the embassy be manned by the charge d’affaires, The nominal ambassador is absent, even when physically present.
Reassignment to Somalia is in order.
Vlad would send her to Siberia. Just saying.
Why in the hell are these people still around?
“Smith, you free loader, then quit.”
This is what I find most frustrating about Trump, along with his incessant tweeting, is his slow rolling of these Obamaites and Never Trumpers. Please clean house NOW!
The arrogance of Obamaphiles is stupefying.
I thought Trump fired all Ambassadors
He could only fire the political appointees like dimbulb Caroline Kennedy. The career Foreign Service are seemingly beyond his reach.
Why are people like her still on our payroll ?
Doesn’t have enough class to resign.
Position bought and paid for which means she ain’t sheeeeet.
Wants attention. Deserves to be ignored.
I love his tweets. And the cool thing about these holdovers is that they can be dumped in a humiliating fashion at any time.
I think it was Patrick Kennedy that was fired. A lot of people quit when Tillerson was appointed as well.
I believe the Secretary of State has the power to fire any ambassador, but probably would not do so without consulting with the president.
Right! He should take 2 weeks off and then quit!!
Trump is slow to respond to the fact we’re at “war”. Maybe he knows? He needs to go after these traitors and seditionists.
Drain the swamp. This 0bama supporter needs to be replaced by somebody loyal to our government, appointed by President Trump.
If she doesn’t feel comfortable with Trump, she should resign and be replaced by a deputy.
Having retired from the Department of State I can tell you she will be recalled to Washington and replaced. She serves at the will and pleasure of the president; she’s done!
At the change of every presidential Administration all ambassadors tender their resignation to Main State in Washington DC. The president’s office notifies State who will remain in place. Most are kept a few months until the political donor class can be appointed
Because there are so many of them; it takes time to find them and replace them.
