Un-Liberaled Woman

Here’s the scenario: Economy is in shambles (or so you project that), one of the biggest US companies in the world is heading to file bankruptcy after you flush billions of taxpayer money on an empty pursuit to try and keep it afloat without any restructuring, and now you need to put a financial guru who’s familiar with bankruptcy law and turning failing entities around while salvaging some profitable assets.

Who do you call up to handle this mess?

Mitt Romney since he’s done it before and it would be an effort to show you actually meant being a bi-partisan president? Bzzzzzzzzzz. Nope

Jack Welch since he’s got that thing called immaculate business acumen and is familiar with guiding huge multinational corporations (MNCs) through tough financial situations? Bzzzzzzzzzz. Nope.

How about any of the top bankruptcy lawyers in the country? Bzzzzzzzzz. Wrong again.

Well, hold on to your hats. Because Obama thinks the leadership that GM needs to get through its massive bankruptcy problems is the equivalent of Michael J. Fox’s character on Secret To My Success.

Drum roooooooll, please….Introducing: Brian Deese. 31- (YES! thirty-@#$@#$-one) Year-Old Yale Law School dropout who’s only experience is (Wait. For. IT) – liberal political campaign work. Ch-ch-ch-CHANGE!!!  (via HotAir)

HUH? – my thoughts exactly.

Here’s the 411 of Mr. Deese’s “experience.”

• Left Yale Law School to work on Hillary Clinton’s campaign
• Has a Bachelor’s in economics political science from Middlebury College
• “He has appeared in videos posted on change.gov by the transition team”
• Policy analyst at liberal think tanks like Center for American Progress
• Never run a business
• Doesn’t have a law degree
• Has gone on public record as being scared of his work capabilities already in his appointment in the auto task force.

Gee with a resume like that his future’s so bright, he’s got to wear shades. At least someone’s future will be bright while the rest of us hard working citizens in middle America will pay for it the rest of our lives.  Reservation for black cloud circling heads – party of at least 100 million, please.

Ed Morrissey sums it up nicely:

Well, yes, and not just for Mr. Deese, whose executive experience actually is less than Obama’s.  He’s never run any business, let alone worked in the auto industry.  He joined the Hillary Clinton campaign by taking a hiatus from law school, which he began after working as an assistant to Gene Sperling, now an advisor to Tim Geithner.  His entire resume consists of campaign work.

Thanks, President Unicorn Princess, for the inspiration of my latest Fun with Photoshop & Politics.

(and yes, that IS Kool-Aid now instead of champagne. Fitting, no? LOL.)
