(CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration named Holly Petraeus--wife of retired Gen. David Patraeus, who resigned last week as CIA director after revealing he had had an extra-marital affair--to $187,605-per-yer job in the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

See: she’s a poor working class Joe like the rest of us.
Now go pay your taxes, your government is broke. :)
Obvious payoff. Petraeus will support Obama regardless. There will be no revelation at the hearing. Our heroes have feet of clay.
One year - she is up for a raise!
You mean like an election was blatantly stolen, and more than half of the country knows it?
Combine that 187,000 with Petraeus general salary plus combat pay and you get a 1 percenter.
I have no idea what it is unless it has something to do with Benghazi. It could just be something from his past finally coming out.
There just seems to be something in the air which I haven’t felt for a long time.
I was actually feeling sorry for Holly Petraeus.
Another way to keep Petreus under the lid of not singing at the hearing scheduled Friday!!!
out of curiosity.... what did this general’s wife do in her last position?
what are her qualifications that allowed her to snag a plumb $190k/yr job?
I want to know... because I’M PAYING FOR IT !!
It appears to be a cluster foxtrot in an elevator shaft — with no elevator.
Obama should feel so sorry for me. My husband was a rat too.
Oh wait.

She works in the gilded palace of sin. Her paycheck is not signed by the Treasurer of the United States which is what Federale "workers" get. Her paycheck is signed by Ben Bernanke or whoever signs the paychecks at the Federal Reserve. Which is a private bank with some limited personnel appointed by the President to give it a veneer of accountability to the American people. But the people the Federal Reserve really answers to are the major banks that hold stock in it
Yep. It sounds like she actually put in some years getting experience for this general area, and a little less than $200K is pretty much in line with that kind of standard bureaucrat director-type job. (Unfortunately.)
Well, well, well.. Looks like Holly becomes part of the ‘sex scandal’ investigation, although I think it’s more of a ‘White House corruption’ investigation. 0bama is a shameless CHICAGO THUG. How does anything ever get done with such widespread corruption, bribery, extortion, payoffs, kickbacks, blah blah blah...
They create these agencies as a place to install those they want to payoff, IMO.
Breathtaking in it’s corruptness. The General won’t say $hit at the hearings; they bought the wife, and they don’t care who knows it.
