Top White House Aide Leaving to Work as Lobbyist for Planned Parenthood

The Obama White House seems to have a track record of losing its top female aides — from domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes and deputy communications director Jen Psaki, to Anita Dunn and environmental adviser Carol Browner. Now, Obama’s special assistant for legislative affairs is leaving too, and she’s headed for Planned Parenthood.
Yes. Planned Parenthood announced Thursday that it had hired Dana Singiser as its vice president for public policy and government relations.
The Hill adds:
Singiser had been with the president since his 2008 campaign, and was a key part in the team that shepherded Obama’s health care reform law through Congress.
“Dana Singiser is a highly respected advocate. We’re thrilled to have someone of Dana’s experience and caliber be a part of our team as we focus on expanding access to health care and making the new health care reform law a tangible reality for women across the country,” said Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards in a statement.
Singiser also worked on Hillary Clinton’s primary campaign, as the staff director for the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee, and in the Clinton White House.
From presidential aide to Planned Parenthood lobbyist. Does the career move come as a surprise?

Posted on October 29, 2011 at 1:52amYou hit the nail right on the head.
One thing the Communists and North Korean and North Vietnamese told us back in the 60s and 70s, then al Qaeda several years back, they simply could not beat us on the battlefield, so the plan of action was twofold. Get the media to destoy its own country from within by using actions taken on the battlefield and twist them to make the USA look like the bad guys, and slowly infiltrate the government and schools, take control of the system from within (which is what this article points out).
No rush, the Progressive movement is slow and methodical, as little violence as possible, bloodshed doesn’t do any good, just destroys stuff and it has to be replaced one way or another, pictures and violence can also be used against them so they have to be as careful as possible, but real radicals don’t care, they have no vision of the future to begin with, they just want to destoy things and ………. they don’t have a clue.

Posted on October 28, 2011 at 7:28amWomen are not appreciated by the homosexuals currently inhabiting the White House. Women also have a better track record for whistle blowing than their male croney counter parts. The one scandal you will not see Obama in is with a young female intern and a cigar. And that‘s not because he doesn’t appreciate a good smoke.

Posted on October 28, 2011 at 5:52pmI‘m not positive but I’m pretty sure there have been more repubs caught diddling their own than democrats. As for going over to the lobbyists, that’s the main problem with your American concept of “democracy” you see no problem with revolving door lobbyists, no matter their interest (as long as their money’s green). It’s going to take more than god to save you guys, it’s going to take a level of honesty you all seem incapable of.
