...”basically impossible for federal employees to get fired”...

Yes. That is true.

My son heads up a team for the Vets. Administration and says it’s very diffcicult to even get employees to do their jobs because they know they can’t be fired. There is no incentive to work, he says, and most have very low work ethics to begin with.

Maybe it’s better to make these drones into charity cases even at taxpayer expense then to actually get them running as well oiled cogs in an evil machine. Not that there aren’t other choices, but things have a way of compensating for potential trouble.

You don’t need finger prints for this, he was using his real name. One minute and NICS access should have found this. I would love to see his resume and package from the federal hiring center that processed him.

It’s like the Indian affairs is just this huge heap of maggots that nobody really wants to touch.

One of the commenters at one of the sites that featured an article on this - mostly right leaning, of course - pointed out that this is the MO of Obama, Jarrett and company. They probably knew this guy's history, they just didn't care. They are fine with someone ripping off the taxpayers since a large percentage of taxpayers are honkies.

Buddy hire maybe? Deeper corruption than this one fellow? You’d think that if he applied at all it would be on a lark, like hey would these suckas really catch what is as obvious as the nose on my face?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Ya know, I found out the hard way... you don’t try to hard to work when you’re on a gummit contract.

[HiTech RedNeck]

too hard

[jazusamo]

Very possible, they probably believed he’s entitled to another chance even though his rap sheet was as long as your arm.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Some kind of ex-con hire incentive program?

What a know nothing society.

[GeronL]

Obama’s government does not discriminate against the incompetent or the criminal, they embrace them!!

[Quick Shot]

This is child play compared to the Head Start Program

[driftless2]

How did he land a job with HUD? That’s easy, the Obama admin is filled with crooks who hire other crooks.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Yeah, it does sound like inside job here. This guy will get slapped into the slammer for a while. Those he may have conspired with... maybe less. Maybe not at all.

[caww]

I think you’re right....get Hud and a host of other Gov. offices out of Gov. altogether. They are nothing more than revenue washing machines...because there is no accountability.

[Slings and Arrows]

John Corazine: "Hmph. Amateur."

[caww]

Something else I was thinking...you know these foreign crooks in our Government have nothing to loose....they can always return to their country of birth or whatever.

I remember working with a man who said he loved iversity. I asked him why. (he was a black man). He said becuase he doesn’t like his own culture and this affords him a way of integrating into the white community now that the laws prevent racial remarks etc. He knows well if they even fire him he can use the race card.

I would suspect an foreigner has that card he’ll play.

[lavaroise]

How did he get there, asks HUD? Really? Did they have to ask if there is a BHO in power?

[hosepipe]

Democrat?...
