1st off, while I serve I'll work for anyone who is elected. 2nd, I'm not insane. If I had to choose, I would prefer to work for someone who values intellectual honesty, experience, and performance over group think. The problem I see in government today (regardless of political affiliation, though I feel it is worse on one side than the other) is two fold. 1. adherence to the "party line" is valued over ability, experience, and common sense and 2. There are no consequences for dishonesty, let alone poor performance. Just look at the VA, the IRS, and the ATF. Break the rules, cheat the system, steal money, abuse your power... and you don't get fired. Instead you get put on a paid leave of absence and quietly (usually on a Friday after 1700) promoted later. Something has to change.

Will any of Obama's Cabinet hang on if Hillary is elected? In either case, it's an interesting question. How often do Cabinet members remain when Presidents change? Google doesn't provide a direct answer but it did return a link to a website where you can find all the Cabinet members of all Administrations, beginning with George Washington, and you can use these to figure it out for yourself. Please let me know if you do. I've done my part...

The only person that deserves to remain who is tied to this administration is not on the cabinet. It is Directory Comey, of the FBI. Of course, he is a holdover from the Bush administration. Comey is a man of integrity and one of the few federal employees that I trust. He is for the law and justice, and for that only. He is one of the few in Washington that can not be bought. For that, he earns my admiration.

I'm actually shocked to hear anybody say that. When the whole e-mail probe was 'finished,' the announcement he made was neither a condemnation of guilt nor a proclamation of innocence. He said no prosecutor would take the case, because they wouldn't reach a conviction.

The one good thing i can say about this man is that he actually told US the facts about her e-mails for the world to know. You are right though Sgt. He did basically say she is a liar but will not be prosecuted. Word is he was told by Obama if you recommend prosecuting Hildegard you will be fired. He was supposedly promised the Director of CIA position if she wins. I don't know if i believe that conspiracy theory. Hopefully we will not find out.

Change means change, everyone must go.
Regardless of who wins, probably no one from his cabinet will survive. Why not? Because they weren't selected for their wisdom and expertise. They were selected for their campaign support and perfect adherence to the President's agenda. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/435448/obamas-pajama-boy-menagerie
Meet the 30-somethings who are running our federal government.

God forbid we elect a felon to the White House. One who if she were one of us and committed the crimes she has, she would be thrown in to jail without a second thought. Not only that, if it were a military commander in charge at the time of Benghazi, and lied about the attacks being caused by a YouTube video, and then was asleep at the wheel when a diplomat was killed, they'd be relieved for cause. But not 'old Hilldog. She gets a pass. One Patreus didn't get when he was burned for far more innocuous breaches of classification.
Or God forbid we elect a Socialist to run our Republic.

Yup, just like she did at the State Dept. The world looks so rosy now. She has zero character. She has shown this over and over. Just firing the entire travel office in the WH just to give her friends jobs shows that she is scum.

SPC Andrew Griffin - The best prediction for future behavior is past behavior... I have seen too many servicemembers and gov't workers fired (or worse) for playing fast and loose with classified information. I can deal with some things, but leaders with double standards (one for them and one for the rest of us) are not one of them. There are democrats I would vote for... she is just not one of them.

SPC Andrew Griffin - I have seen no actions in her past experience or behavior that indicate she will do a great job. As you respect our opinions, I will respect yours, however, I ask that you provide some examples to help me understand where you are coming from.

I will note that the Secret Service has plans in place to ensure that all personnel in the White House are very clear about which side of the fence they belong on -- they intend to make the fence around the White House several feet taller.
