As reported by OneNewsNow.com, "President Obama has named Amanda Simpson to a post in the Commerce Department, making Simpson perhaps the first-ever transgender appointment in a U.S. presidential administration.
Prior to the presidential appointment, Simpson worked for Raytheon Missile Systems in Arizona. While at Raytheon, Simpson underwent the sex-change "transition." In his new post, Simpson will serve as a senior technical adviser at the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security. A 30-veteran of the aerospace industry, he once served as a member of the National Center for Transgender Equality's board of directors. Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality is not surprised that Simpson was appointed. "This is a man -- and by the way he is a man; he's not a woman -- who is one of the leaders in crusading for so-called 'civil rights' based on gender-confused behavior," he points out. According to an online biography, Simpson served as commissioner on Tucson's Commission on GLBT Issues, as a board member for such groups as the Tucson Corporate LGBT Coalition and the Southern Arizona Gender Alliance, and as a member of numerous other "diversity" and LGBT rights groups. But LaBarbera says there is a bigger issue than just the one appointment to a federal government post. "Obama is supporting ENDA -- the Employment Non-Discrimination Act -- with a transsexual provision," he shares, "meaning that if that version of the bill gets through and Obama signs it, we will have businesses being forced to accommodate gender-confused individuals in the name of civil rights." LaBarbera adds it is time for America to wake up to the agenda of the Obama administration."

Poor sad little ambulance chaser is threatened by a woman who is actually qualified for the job?
Can you do it better than she can?
By the way, LOVE the "proud of my European heritage" bit. I'm sure you and George Wallace would have been fast friends.
Enjoy those teeth while you still got 'em.
