Obama Picks Sex-Change Gal for Security Post

Posted: Jan 5, 2010

NY Post, 1/5/2010 | GEOFF EARLE

It's a "sex change" we can believe in.

President Obama has appointed Amanda Simpson, a woman who used to be a man, to a Commerce Department security post -- which would make her the highest-level transgender person chosen by a president. Simpson, who is single and tall with shoulder-length blond hair, is an expert on technology development at defense contractor Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Ariz.

She earned degrees in physics, engineering and business and is a certified flight instructor.

She also used to be Mitchell Simpson, a 5-foot-10, 150-pound test pilot who flew the T-39 and A-3 Sky Warrior in those planes' development stages for Hughes Aircraft.

Actually, according to a story by ABC, even poor Amanda is afraid she is a token. Ya think? - AzRain

"....what gnaws at her, she says, is the fear of being labeled a token who was hired because of her sexual identity rather than on her merits."

She would not have taken the job if she...sm - I feel sorry for you AzRain

thought Obama was choosing her as a token. She is confident she is ready for the challenge and her sexual identity is, thankfully, not an issue.

Really? Now, how do you know this? huh - TX

Have you spoken with her?

How do you what she thinks? I posted the article that said what she thinks. Doh! - AzRain

Yes, the fear of being LABELED a token (sm) - Nikki

by people like you and the others who have responded negatively on this board. Particularly when you personally follow it up with, "Ya think?" you're proving her point regarding how she will be "labeled."

It just amazes me that the right unknowingly reveals....sm - anon

its true colors when we really get into the nitty gritty of equal opportunity and nondiscrimination for ALL.

So many anons on this board. They're multiplying, I swear! - AzRain

It amazes me the administration this president has thrown together - a treasury dept chief who forgets to pay his taxes, a homeland security chief who really has no problem with illegal aliens or the fact that "only 1 person" slipped through with the NW flight fiasco (even tho that 1 person was the culprit), an attorney general who probably was only picked because of his race....a president who gets the Nobel Peace Prize for WHAT? And now this...those of you who wanted "CHANGE" certainly are getting it - the US as we have known it will never again be in existence.

I applaud Obama. Sex change should be no problem - Lolly

Why such descrimination? Narrow minds.

Change is a good thing.... - JTBB

Think of it this way...if it weren't for change, we'd still be burning witches at the stake, or maybe you would prefer the "rule of thumb?"

Change will only be a "good" thing once - Obama is out of office.nm

Oh you'll see plenty more change here with Obama in office - but I can't say the majority will be good ones, based on this past year. Hopefully, he will only be in office 4 years. By then, he'll have done enough damage.

I am glad to see it. Sounds like she is very qualified - Colleen

[ In Reply To ..]
for this position. Or would you rather have him doing something like Bush and hire someone like "Brownie" whose claim to fame was as the head of the Arabian Horse Society (which I understand he was fired from) and make him the head of FEMA? If the person is qualified to do the job, I do not care if they are red, white, black, gay, straight, bi, transgender, rich, poor, male, female, Christian, Muslim, Hindu or purple with pink polka-dots! Congratulations to her!

Yahoo! I agree! nm - Straight female democrat

I'm glad, too, Colleen. (sm) - Nikki

And I offer her my congratulations, as well. I'm sure she will do a splendid job. This appointment is just a further positive testament to the heart and mind of President Obama regarding nondiscrimination and hiring someone on their merits.

The commutation of Chelsea Manning’s prison term will forever be a blot on President Obama’s legacy. Just as the pardon granted Marc Rich by President Clinton on his last day in office became a totem of the odious pay-to-play money grubbing of Bill and Hillary, l’affaire Manning will be an enduring reminder of Obama’s constant pandering to special voter groups and mindless adherence to a progressive agenda.

Social Security is a progressive entitlement program created by Republicans and Democrats working together.

Now their tactic of destroying it by delaying necessary adjustments has successfully brought Social Security to the point of failure. Like a home ...
