Trump Fires 500 Obama Staffers… Dems Panic
End the Fed ^ | 11/17/16

Posted on 11/19/2016 9:21:13 AM PST by Enlightened1

Donald Trump is reportedly firing around 500 of Barack Obama’s staffers, as he plans to completely fill the White House with his own team.

The Federalist Papers reported that though it’s likely that Hillary Clinton would have let most of Obama’s people go so that she could hire her own staff, Trump’s win closed the door on the possibility of any of Obama’s staffer sticking around. The fired staffers have gotten so desperate about their employment situation that Obama has brought in representatives from Facebook, Instagram and other companies to offer insights into the job market. According to CBS News, Linkedin officials are helping Obama’s staff find ways to market their skills.

Georgetown University, which is located close to the White House, has designed a custom professional development program they call “Future44,” Obama is the 44th president, to teach Obama’s political appointees how to build their lives after the White House. The program is free of charge thanks to an anonymous donor, and participants register for either four 2-hour evening sessions or one 8-hour “boot camp.”

“We designed this unique curriculum to help these staffers think through how to market themselves or market their competencies,” said Kelly Otter, dean of Georgetown’s School of Continuing Studies.

Many of Obama’s staffers will likely end up in liberal cities like New York or San Francisco working for companies that cater to millennials such as Amazon, Snapchat, Google, Vice, etc.

“The transition out of government is a reality for most appointees, which brings both excitement about prospects for the next chapter or a long-awaited chance to recharge batteries, and a keen awareness about a big, impending change,” said White House spokeswoman Jennifer Friedman.

Ivan Adler, a headhunter at McCormick Group, explained that Obama’s staffers are about to face a major change in life that may be hard..."

I wouldn't hire anyone who worked for this corrupt regime. Who wants to hire people who worked for the worst president in American history? President Trump is about to make Berry look ridiculous and weak. America will see how great it can be when a hard working and patriotic president is working for them. We haven't had that in a very long time.

Funny how BO talks about helping the smooth transition, but all I see from him and his flunkies is disparagement of Trump, encouragement of riots, 1-2 weeks to mope (per BO’s own words), job searches...

Pfffsh. I actually spoke to one of the staffers in the schadenfreude photo a year ago, and he was already counting down the days until he could get out of his job there. And he was assuming a Hildebeast victory.

One of the media lines of attack was that Trump was surprised at the enormity of the responsibilities that come with the office of president. I think some articles talked about 4000 positions that had to be filled. Maybe Trump was just surprised at the gross inefficiency.

He needs to do this and he needs to clean up these Federal Government Employees that have taken over Northern Virginia,DC and Maryland. Terry MacCauliffe pardoned enough crooks to turn Virginia Blue and I know those who were born and raised there are better than that.
Look for Obama to pardon a lot more along with Hillary before he leaves.
If we love our country we need not fall asleep again.

Exactly ..!!

The Obama’s are so naïve, they thought they could leave a lot of their staffers there to SPY FOR THEM.

Proving once again that the DemocRATS really are RATS .. and they don’t care about America or her people .. they just want to rule over us and take all our loot.

During the early-00s, I recall reading a book about career change which included numerous personal tales of former Clinton staffers moving to New Orleans. After about the 5th such tale of an unemployed ex-Clintonite moving to NO to “find themselves,” I determined I would never set foot in that city again.

“I have been working the last 8 years in the Obama White House.”

There’s a line to make an HR interviewer lose eye contact.

... to help these staffers think through how to [...] market their competencies ...

HAHAHAHA!! They will find out that being a pierced, tattooed angry latina communist transvestite with a chip on its shoulder is not generally considered a "competency" in organizations that have to actually deliver a competitive product or service.

The President Elect needs to completely clean out the Justice Dept. Fire every US Attorney and every other political appointee. Day one. Then move to every other Department but I see Justice as a priority.
