Trump Fires 500 Obama Staffers… Dems Panic

End the Fed ^ | 11/17/16

[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.

Anybody who works directly for the President has got to realize it’s a temporary gig.

This is nothing new. It’s called “Securing inside the wires.”

It's called "draining the swamp." In this case it includes the White House cesspool.

:o)

I voted for him twice and all I got was the TSA and the DHS. I am so ashamed!

I call a certain amount of BS on this. Everyone hired by Obama to work in the White House, knew that presidents are elected to a four year term. They know that their jobs would end when the current term of office ends. Even if the newly elected president is the same political party, the new president puts his own people in to these appointed jobs.

While virtually all of Obama’s people wanted Hillary to succeed Obama, they knew their own jobs were coming to an end as of Jan. 20, 2017. So if they had been smart they would have been marketing themselves and all that, long before now.

Drain the swamp - and sanitize the base of operations. Trump should banish every single one of them, and have armed guards escort them to the exit.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

That is pretty much all of them.

And there was no reason for a staff of that size in the first place.

winning, winning, winning, I could say it 500 times and still not get tired.

[Morpheus2009]

So now they need to go and look for jobs and have their resumes written out. Most of us normal people have to do that. Are they scared of being like normal people?

[SkyDancer]

The MSMLSD crowd will start yelling about a bloodbath how Trump is so insensitive blah blah ...

[Cicero]

Well, Michelle alone has 22 staffers, plus 15 interns and volunteers.

[Kickass Conservative]

#42 was Clinton.

[Bryanw92]

>>bring in new computers.... Zero’s crowd will leave a virus.

Save the taxpayers money and just reimage the HDs.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Bill Clinton was the 42nd president. Perhaps you mean #43, George Bush.

A president actually appoints about 3,000 people, but 1,000 or more are bureaucrats that can’t really be fired by the next president. Every president manages to change a number of policy-making appointees into civil service status before they leave. Obama will abuse that, and it will take dramatic action by Congress to even minimally rein in bureaucrat snakes.

Good. Those LIB asshats have a big black spot (no racism implied) on their resume: they “worked” in the criminal anti-Free-America Clown Prince nobama (mal)administration. I hope they roam the country in rags, begging forgiveness.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Hmmmmmmn.

So “who” is the anonymous (read “hidden-agenda-liberal-big-spending-billionaire” donor who is funding Obola’s staff into the government’s “outside” bueaucracies of consultants, media, advocacy, rioting, enviromentalism, academia, and “independent research” and think tanks?

THESE are the zealots who are the dictators of 2024, 2028, 2032!

[boycott]

Good luck to all of them finding affordable healthcare.

[Ann Archy]

He better fire all 99 US Attorneys, and if there are ANY decent ones, he can REHIRE those!!

[SteveinSATX]

anyone else bothered by the fact that 500 college educated supposedly super smart people who were in charge of running the country’s business are now so helpless that they need to go back to school to learn how to type up a resume and look for a job?
