We are not in a court of law. No one is able to prove fact because it was something that barrack Obama was responsible for. But It is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that she was hired because she was female.

Prove it.

So this means that every woman with a job is an Affirmative Action hire?

What reasonable doubt is that?

File your post under the "making sh*t up because I don't know what the hell I'm talking about" heading.

Hell, you can't even spell the president's first name right.

You folks are a trip. If she got her job because of Affirmative Action, then so did you.

There is no limit...trust me. They can get right down in the pondscum like a parasite.

This whole "affirmative action" nonsense just proves what another poster said about conservatives...their main philosophy is based on being exclusionary...it's a tenet of conservatism, and they milk it for all it's worth.

Funny thing is that NONE of these posters are high enough up in ANY organization to promote exclusionary policies. They're all peons who hope to be in that position one day (they won't).

It's laughable.

What secret info do you have that are able to state she was AA?

It isn't unreasonable given the latest failure to question her qualifications. In fact it should be expected that people want to know why this person was chosen for the job. I don't care male or female, a gross failure like this demands a few answers. The woman was a public employee, if we are hiring people aren't qualified to do a job as important as her job was, we need to question the vetting process for other heads.
How many years in the field did she have? What made her most qualified? What made her qualified at all?

Glad to catch you up on the rules here.
It is a disingenuous question as it would be very hard, if not impossible to find such information unless the person themselves admitted to receiving special hiring or promotions based on AA.

So while there is probably not proof she was an AA hire or was promoted to the top spot because of it, there is plenty of reason to believe she was.
Let's start with her less than stellar background/qualifications prior to being hired. That combined with when she was hired (early 1980's), when affirmative action was at it's peak, and few woman were members of the Secret Service.
Then combine that with the prostitute scandal that rocked the service, the optics of promoting a woman to the top spot is certainly worthy of speculation as to why such an incompetent person was appointed to head this vital agency.

Heck even the liberal Huffington post is highly critical of her;

Julia Pierson Wanted To Run Secret Service 'Like Disney World': Washington Post

On a side note, my understanding is that the nut that got into the White House overpowered a female agent/guard as well.
I don't know about those who want to defend affirmative action in the face of obvious differences between men and women when it come to size and strength, but to guard the POTUS, I'd want the top and best guys like;
