How long do you think it will be before we start hearing about how this woman is an atheist, drug addict, and former prostitute who molests children in her spare time?

Please don't forget the instructional fisting videos she made for preschool-age children.

Absolutely nothing, but just wait a few minutes, and someone will surely enlighten us.

Now I think her being transgendered doesn't have anything to do with her qualifications, but I know how Obama works. He has been worried about 2012 that he is trying to appeal to everybody. He nominated Sonia Sotomayor to appeal to the hispanics, and to get more of their votes for liberals/democrats in the future. He appointed Hillary Clinton to appeal to Hillary fans and women. He appointed Janet Napolitano (who I think wasn't the best pick) just to appeal to Italians and get more votes from AZ. He appointed Eric Holder to appease blacks, which hasn't really worked IMO. Now he is in a little bit of hot water with the GLBT community, so he now does this. I see his pattern...he is trying to get his crew diversified and I have no problem with that...I am just wondering is he picking the best qualified people...and I have a problem with some of his pics.

What is the Bureau of Industry and Security and why do they need my money to begin with?

If she/he was the most qualified candidate for the position, after a nationwide search of course, then I have no complaints.
However, I am getting a little weary of this administration's preoccupation with making "history".

If she/he hasn't paid taxes and has ties to the communist party, Obama will have hit a trifecta.

I've honestly never understood why transgender issues are lumped in with sexual orientation. They aren't even related.
