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..."

Good. I remember all those MB people, Huma and others having dinner at the WH and having various meetings with Obama. God knows what they were talking about.
I hope the FBI starts searching the mosques too - "reasonable suspicion." If any weapons are found, shut them all down. Islam is a political tyranny of the individual first and society second, pure and simple. It and sharia law are incompatible with Western Civilization.
The American people have to come to grips with this and soon. We have to quit the PC and the 'but. .but . . it's a religion' bs.
The practice for Clinton was to fire EVERY US Attorney in the country. Too much ongoing baggage... I’d fire the entire effing Justice Department.
2 words: chain gang.
Suck it up buttercup!
Reminds me of a January 1995 CNN video. The winners of the 1994 Republican Revolution were coming to DC and loads of Democratic staffers had to move out.
CNN interviewed one democratic House Staffer about the impacts to him and his family. The man just didn’t know what he was going to do since being a staffer for a Democratic member of the House was the only job he knew. He had been doing it for years.
There was the normal noise about paying bills, getting a new job without a current effective resume, and worrying about getting his children through college.
Then came the closing line - his nominal boss had lost his first reelection bid (two years in office) and the man being interviewed claimed he had been working at the same job for many years.
Any other questions?
BTW with such a major shift in policy and direction you MUST do a wholesale replacement of “non-political (just like the IRS and FBI) staff to ensure the new policies are carried out effectively.
ALL Czars gone!
Every boot licking toadie gone!
500 will certainly get the attention of the other four thousand.
That’s why it is so important that jobs should be Trump’s first order of the day, even before choosing his cabinet. Too many have already lived on the edge of despair for too long.
“Wait until these political snowflakes find out that there are no jobs because of their boss’ stiffing taxes and regulations have crushed small businesses. 61 days....”
No, they’ll all get jobs - working for left wing oriented companies and firms. Notice how they’re bringing in “representatives from Facebook, Instagram and other companies”? That’s where they will start finding jobs. They’ll have to move, but they’ll get cushy jobs and good wages.
Good luck to all of them finding affordable healthcare.
He’s just hoping she doesn’t move her ass with him into the bachelor pad he’s got at the top if the Clinton Libary in Arkansas.... I doubt we’ll ever see these two much together again unless it’s campaigning for that ‘special needs’ child of theirs.
Bush left a lot of clintons attorneys in office....I figured he was pretty stupid to do so....the custom was for each one to resign and the president had the choice of retaining them or not...
This is the best news I’ve heard since Election Day.
One of my biggest pet peeves with Republican presidents is that from Eisenhower onward, with the exception of Ronald Reagan, they have always retained numerous holdovers from previous Democratic administrations on their staffs. We are finally getting a president who will clean out the previous administration’s personnel the way the Democrats always do.
Wise decision.
“Brothels and bathhouses all over the country will be flooded with applicants. I can’t think of any other industry these worthless parasites could thrive in.”
Well, isn’t that where a bunch of them came from to begin with?
As soon as Obama was elected, while he was still claiming to be a proponent of traditional marriage, and before he “evolved” on gay marriage, he was stacking his White House Office of Public Engagement with gay activists and tranny former prostitutes...
“verified historical career-track employee of the government”
Those verified historical career-track employees of the government need to go, too.
Those are people who would actually vote for Al Sharpton, if he could get the nomination.
(Yes I do listen to NPR on weekends. Just heard them tease their upcoming edition of "Wait, Wait - Don't Tell Me," an un-funny, pseudo-news-quiz show with a tinny laugh track.)
Back when 0bama entered office, they called it Funemployment
At least all the ones at the state department I’ll agree.
