Anyone wanting to speak to the president must stop by her desk first. Leah Katz-Hernandez, 27, is the new White House receptionist.
She is also deaf.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity and also to show that deaf people can do anything,” she said through an interpreter, who is provided for her at work.
With a desk just steps away from the Oval Office, Katz-Hernandez is usually the first to greet anyone — from world leaders to White House staff members — who has an appointment with the president or his top-level aides. She also oversees the White House guest book and the Roosevelt Room, the West Wing meeting room, and is responsible for collecting cell phones before meetings with the president.
Yep!
Okay, I want to play major league baseball. I am a senior female and not in great shape, so I will get someone else to bat and run for me.
Yay! Seniors can do anything!
Next thing we’ll see is pilots with documented mental issues being allowed to fly passenger planes. Oh, wait....
And I thought Team Valerie had reached the limits of stupidity...and then, this....
I think this story made me blow a circuit. I got all revved up to make a comment on the stupidity, liberal, outrage, etc., and then I just started laughing. I’m still laughing. We’re so screwed! Bwahahahaha!
OTHERWISE....NO! If she COULD do the job by herself...GREAT! But SHE CAN'T! She needs an INTERPRETOR. Crikey... might as well hire the guy from Nelson Mandela's funeral.
There are probably 2-3 interpreters for her due to muscle strains etc.
