Obama Names Another Idiot To Cabinet

From the New York Daily News:
President Barack Obama on Monday will nominate Charlotte, N.C., Mayor Anthony Foxx as his new transportation secretary, a White House official said Sunday.
If confirmed by the Senate, Foxx would replace outgoing Secretary Ray LaHood.
Foxx is Obama’s first black nominee among the new Cabinet members appointed for the second term. The president faced criticism early in his second term for a lack of diversity among his nominees.
The official insisted on anonymity to avoid public discussion of the pick before the official announcement.
The official noted that Foxx has led efforts to improve his city’s transit infrastructure to expand economic opportunity for businesses and workers. During Foxx’s term as mayor, Charlotte has broken ground on several important transportation projects, including the Charlotte Streetcar Project to bring modern electric tram service to the city as well as a third parallel runway at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. The city has also moved to extend the LYNX light rail system to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the official said.

Apparently King Obama wasn't at the DNC convention:
Charlotte’s University City area, guests were crying, cursing and running down the hall with pants in hand on Friday, trying desperately to get to the airport after the Democratic National Convention.
Shuttles were extremely late, on a day when everyone knew they had to allow extra time at the airport, and just getting through to a cab company took half an hour, said Karina Furman, who works the front desk. Finally, she and other employees started using their own vehicles to take frantic guests to the airport.
“No pay, no nothing – we were just doing it out of being kind to people,” Furman said. “It was really hectic.”
At Spring Hill Suites in Concord, airport transportation went well, but guests complained that it took them two to four hours to get back from convention activities in uptown Charlotte on shuttle buses, said assistant general manager Susan Grammas.
“The whole transportation thing, Charlotte needs to be looking at that if they ever have an event this big again,” Grammas said. “They really have to work on that if they want to be a big city.”
Many would agree: In a convention that mostly sailed smoothly, ground transportation was a bumpy road.  http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2012/09/08/3515541/dnc-transportation-proved-a-headache.htmlYep, another unqualified Obama appointment.

Obama is the gay president, the welfare queen president and now, maybe the mentally retarded president.
