Barack Obama has been notoriously tough in hiring lobbyists in Washington and therefore, headhunters have been retained to search for hard to fill positions.
Obama's administrators have reportedly interviewed large search firms Korn/Ferry International, Russell Reynolds Associates and Heidrick & Struggles.

Obama said, A lot of people who we think are about to serve in the administration and Treasury suddenly say, Well, you know what? I dont want to go through some of the scrutiny, embarrassment, in addition to taking huge cuts in pay.

Well if you can't get smart business types to join the government, just conscript them. You've already taken it upon yourself to fire executives. Just force executives out of the private sector and make them work for the government. Yes we can!

bozo wouldn’t pass the test if he were applying for POTUS if he were hired thru this agency
what a total joke, he ran outta’ people he knew or at least people who would WANT to work - e.g., dear old Sanjay Gupta- “family obligations” -well- Gupta got one thing in his life right- don’t work for this clown
You’d think after all the power and money and offices and time they had to plan the transition, they’d at least have the tops admins of all the departments ready.

A lot of people who we think are about to serve in the administration and Treasury suddenly say, Well, you know what? I dont want to go through some of the scrutiny, embarrassment, in addition to taking huge cuts in pay. Yeah, we know, you inherited the problem, no one's ever had to do this before, it's not your fault, we can't prove a thing.

What did one cannibal say to another cannibal as they were eating a clown?

"Smart business types is the last thing Obama wants anywhere near him."Haven't seen one person promoted from within. Like, "Our new Secretary of Health, Joe Sixpack who has been with the department for 34 years. Joe has worked himself up from a GS-6."
