These are the 'essential skills' needed to be an Obama ambassadonor

[Yurt]

Earlier this year, three of Obama’s “ambassadonor” picks raised eyebrows in their confirmation hearing testimony. Real estate investor George Tsunis, nominated to be envoy to Norway, did not seem to know what kind of government that country has and attempted to bluff his way through questions about anti-immigration sentiment there. Soap opera producer Colleen Bell, tapped to go to Hungary, could not list any of America’s strategic interests there. Consultant Noah Bryson Mamet admitted he had never been to Argentina.

But each “will bring essential skills” to the job of chief U.S. diplomat, according to their certificates, which were obtained by Yahoo News.

Big donors or prominent political figures can make fine American diplomats. Caroline Kennedy has won strong reviews as ambassador to Japan. Charles Rivkin went from ambassador to France to assistant secretary of state for economic and business affairs, a post to which he won Senate confirmation in a 92-6 vote.

Yurt doesn't study American politics prior to 2009. I'm not even sure he remembers who was in office during the crash of 2008. He thinks "Brownie did a heck of a job" with Katrina but probably doesn't know who "Turd Blossom" was. And FORGET about "Deep Throat".

Does it matter if it happens under most administrations, should it?

[MENTION=1528]Yurt[/MENTION] doesn't care about politics. He only professes to be conservative to kiss conservative mods asses. All he cares about is trolling and stirring shit.
