If I were an ambassador, I would work all the way up until the 20th.

What an *******
- Thread starter countryroads89_rivals
- Start date
Which ******* are you referring to ?......."Obama’s transition team sent out similar guidance -- eight years ago -- telling ambassadors appointed by President George W. Bush they had to leave their posts by Inauguration Day."
Another non-story that the left chooses to spin so as to make Trump look much more radical than is reality. Never mention that the action being scrutinized is the SAME as with their leader. Very selective outrage practiced by many on the left.
You really think Trump is operating in a vacuum and isn't acting on the advice of his entire transition team? Seriously?
Good lord.
It never happened. You find another source citing it, and I'll admit I'm wrong.
"Ronald E. Neumann, the president of the American Academy of Diplomacy, told the Times that he could not “recollect there was ever a guillotine in January where it was just, ‘Everybody out of the pool immediately.’”
Yep.....but that doesn't stop some other on here from doing that same thing......just playing their game. [thumbsup]
Riiiighht.......cause I have no ability to research things. You post **** every day of things that are not 100% true, and do it to aggravate others. Payback.......
And randomly calls people racists...well maybe it isn't random, it's just when he can't think of something intelligent to say so he says "racist".
The 5-year old equivalent of "nuh uh".
I am utterly shocked that you would even post a story by FoxNews.......You really think its true? The WP had a story on this subject in early Dec. 2008. Trump might be more forceful on the request. I bet there will be exceptions.
Obama Gives Political Ambassadors Their Pink Slips
By Glenn Kessler
The incoming Obama administration has notified all politically-appointed ambassadors that they must vacate their posts as of Jan. 20, the day President-elect Barack Obama takes the oath of office, a State Department official said.
The clean slate will open up prime opportunities for the president-elect to reward political supporters with posts in London, Paris, Tokyo and the like. The notice to diplomatic posts was issued this week.
Political ambassadors sometimes are permitted to stay on briefly during a new administration, but the sweeping nature of the directive suggests that Obama has little interest in retaining any of Bush's ambassadorial appointees.
Most ambassadors, of course, are foreign service officers, but often the posts involving the most important bilateral relations (such as with Great Britain, Japan and India) or desirable locales (such as the Bahamas) are given to close friends and well-heeled contributors of the president.

Well since that guy said so history didnt happen. Just how fuking stupid are you?
I googled your quote. I love that you're so self conscious about your beliefs that you copy and pasted the quote from Fox News and didn't give the link.
Hahahaha, my god, man. You're cracking up. Take some time off, go get your head right.
Now if you would just admit all of the other 76,484 times you have been wrong.
You serious, Clark?
More evidence to that reality than what the 17 intelligence communities have released thus far to back up their claim.
It was in the OP. I purposefully linked Fox for all you righties.
And you're calling me stupid?
Keep building those walls that cross major rivers.
OMG. I actually think you are serious. Ring up you engineer friend and have him splain it to you in simpleese.
This is not surprising. He gets his talking points somewhere. He has sufficiently made of fool of himself tonight so he will hide for a bit.
