WASHINGTON – Two federal agencies charged with keeping potential terrorists off airplanes and out of the country have been without their top leaders for nearly a year.

It took the Obama administration more than eight months to nominate anyone to lead the Transportation Security Administration and the Customs and Border Protection agency.


How hard can this be? This seems to be an on going problem for this administration.

Nearly 200 top positions in the administration remain vacant a full year after President Obama was elected. USA Today reports the backlog puts President Obama behind his predecessors in terms of the amount of time taken to fill key jobs.
The Senate has confirmed 366 Obama nominees, compared with 421 at this point for President George W. Bush and 379 for President Clinton. New York University professor Paul Light, a federal bureaucracy expert, says: "Obama is well on pace right now to set a new record in terms of lateness."
There is no one permanently in charge of Medicare or Medicaid at a time when the president is pushing health care reform in Congress. Mark McClellan, a former administrator for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, says the timing isn't good, "without a permanent administrator in place."

Then again maybe this is a good thing
After all how many of these wacko's do we really want in DC ?
200 less is probably a good thing

Coming to DC soon- followers of the "O"

Well Hell. Look at the problem OL'BO had filling his cabinet. Shit they were all tax evaders. Its not wonder he can't find anyone to fill any posts. Hell. He probably forgot they are still empty. It wasn't on the telepromter.

As I recall, it was Republican Pete Dominici who has held up the second round of Senate confirmation hearings of the TSA director. Why? Because he didn't adequately answer Petey's ignorant question about whether or not he would unionize all the TSA employees.

Educate yourself, trots.

Sorry, it was Jim DeMint. Dominici held it up the first time, in 2007. Thanks again, DO NOTHING Republicans!!

Umm what happened to the 200 people that were in those jobs when Bush was president?

Oh god - reading the Huff and Puff again?

Remind us nutroot - who has the majority in both houses

Put the blame where it belongs

On the Dems being too busy trying to pass this faux legacy (healthcare) for Papa Obama's one term presidency

Maybe they did not make the short list because they paid their taxes

I am serious.
Did they quit because they valued politics above America? Were they fired? Were the jobs also vacant when Bush was president?
Are the bush appointees still in the positions and Obama has not appointed replacements yet?

Without that knowledge the entire premise of this thread is just bullocks.

What a know-nothing you are. DeMint held up confirmation by preventing a straight up or down Senate vote, period, and his objection created a procedural hurdle that could take days of debate and test votes to overcome. It has nothing to do with WHERE you can read that information. Reading? You might try it some time.

Well as an Executive position then you can not "choose" to stay on you must be asked since you serve at the whim of the President. eg Gates

These are not civil servant positions.

I am sure that if a large number of former Bush appointees were asked to fill the post and refused- we would have heard of it from both sides

Truth is hard for the left

How did all those procedural attempts hold up the health care- not too well

The truth is the Dem have the majority and could have expedited the process if they were not concerned with giving us the "lump of coal" called PapaObama Care for Xmas.

Again, you obviously don't pay attention to anything except little voices in your head. The health care bill has indeed been held up by procedural matters. What would you call filibustering on the vote for cloture? Which simply means a vote to bring the bill to conference?

DA. Get fucking educated, even a little would help.

So using your nutroot fister logic

The Democrats could STILL get PapaObama Care passed by Xmas- which they wanted, regardless of delays. But, because of those "mean old Republicans" we can not get others things done. The Democrats are helpless to do anything- no one except the nutroot fisters believe that one !

What a pathetic excuse by the left

What a laugh - Perhaps if the Democrats got their priorities straight, instead of "falling on the sword" for Papa Obama, more things could get done.

If the Republicans could have been successful at stopping anything by delay procedures then they would used it on the health care bill.

Truth is the worst enemy of the left
