A White House National Security director has been fired after he was caught tweeting criticism about the administration under a pseudonym, the Daily Beast's Josh Rogin reports (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/10/22/white-house-official-fired-for-tweeting-under-fake-name1.html).
Jofi Joseph, the National Security staff director, had for two years been the author behind @natsecwonk, which was shut down last week. Joseph recently worked on the administration's Iran policy and has also worked at the State Department and on Capitol Hill for Sens. Bob Casey and Joe Biden.
As @natsecwonk, Joseph openly criticized White House policies and insulted or criticized top White House and State Department officials. To wit: “I'm a fan of Obama, but his continuing reliance and dependence upon a vacuous cipher like Valerie Jarrett concerns me."
^^That's what probably got him the door.
I don't know if I just hold out hope that Obama was actually not full of shit 5 years ago, or what...but I do think the reason why Obama is a horrible president and an absolute terror is because of Valerie Jarrett. Everything anyone I've ever met in DC has said and everything I've read about her is that she is a horrendous harpy.
Senator Obama seemed kind of cool, so maybe it was her. ((shrugs))

Obama's thug friends will make sure this guy never gets another job of any kind, anywhere in the world. Plus they will audit him.

How may people here think they would keep their Jobs if Tweets about their boss, coworkers and their company were found by the Business?
Come-on ... let's have a show of hands. :laugh:

If I upset my employers and they fired me, I would eventually get another job.
This guy will never get another job, anywhere in the world. Obama's network of Chicago thugs and Communists will make sure of that. Plus, they will audit him and if they find any problem with his taxes they will throw him in prison.
Do you deny any of this?

Oh sure. That guy at Fox was fired for sending anonymous emails from the bathroom.
However, we all love to bitch about our coworkers and Valerie Jarrett is a bitch. I mean...come on.

don't you wonder what happened to Senator Obama who was actually cool? You don't think Jarrett had ANYTHING to do with him changing so much?

He'll get a job at Fox or Infowars. Or even Reason would hire him. Don't be melodramatic.

Oh he did some other things like try to negotiate with Iran, hence why he hates Jarrett.

Cigar is right. Questioning the boss's punch is beyond the pale. Valarie Jarrett is holy. And then there is transparency. And, it took NSA two years to track him down? I guess they were too busy monitoring my great-aunt Lucille in Germantown, Tennessee.

I thought it had something more to do with leaking information than for criticizing Obama - or at least that's what I read earlier.

The leaking of classified info is still under investigation. It was criticizing senior admin leaders that got him into trouble initially- he can just be fired for that. But if he did leak classified info he could go to jail.

He won't be hired by FOX or anyone else. He will be a stay-at-home Dad for the rest of his life.
