| The White House released a list of new appointments Tuesday morning and some top Obama administration names were included. Among them were Valerie Jarrett, his White House senior adviser, and Susan Rice, the national security adviser, who will both become general trustees to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications and chief salesman of the Iran nuclear agreement, was appointed as a member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council.
Maine independent Sen. Angus King also found himself appointed to the Roosevelt Campobello International Park Commission.
Obama also placed former NBA players Jason Collins and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Olympic gymnast Gabrielle Douglas to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition. Carli Lloyd, a forward for the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team, was named co-chair of that same council.
"I am proud that such experienced and committed individuals have agreed to serve the American people in these important roles," Obama said in a statement. "I know they will serve the American people well."

Location: the end of the rainbow | Bush made many similar appointments when he left office. It is a sad fact of life that the good ol' boy way of doing politics will never die regardless of the people or parties at the top. |

Location: Displaced Iowegian | BARRELHORSE USA - 2017-01-20 6:16 AM The White House released a list of new appointments Tuesday morning and some top Obama administration names were included. Among them were Valerie Jarrett, his White House senior adviser, and Susan Rice, the national security adviser, who will both become general trustees to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Members of the Kennedy Center Board, will not be paid.
Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications and chief salesman of the Iran nuclear agreement, was appointed as a member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council.
The Council, which meets twice a year, consists of 55 members appointed by the president, as well as five members each from the Senate and House of Representatives and three ex-officio members from the Departments of Education, Interior, and State.....NONE get paid!
Maine independent Sen. Angus King also found himself appointed to the Roosevelt Campobello International Park Commission.
^^^^^ The Commissioners shall receive no remuneration from the Commission; however, they may be paid reasonable per diem and travel expenses by the Commission.
Obama also placed former NBA players Jason Collins and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Olympic gymnast Gabrielle Douglas to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition. Carli Lloyd, a forward for the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team, was named co-chair of that same council.

"I know they will serve the American people well."
^^^ None of these get paid

Location: Bastrop, Texas | These are magnanimous, selfless public servants. I'm certain they have nothing to gain, financially. Look at the Clinton Foundation, for example. There's a prime example of public servants going out into the private sector continuing to do God's work for the benefit of mankind, and getting little in return. |

I hear the Saudis and Russians are keeping the donations pouring in to the Clinton Foundation......being the humanitarians we all know them to be. In fact, "Occupy Democrats", verified this, along with Snopes. I bet the Clinton Foundation has to hire more people just to keep up with all the donations pouring in, so Bill and Hillary can continue their wonderful work in Haiti. Bill and Hillary have worked hard to earn their hundreds of millions over the last 17 years.
They are making America Great Again! |

Chelsea is the Mother Theresa of the Millenials. She's made unimaginable sacrifices to provide for the poor and downtrodden, and gets little in return. |

Yep that's why the FBI is still running two separate investigations on the Clinton Foundation. And NYPD is also running a separate investigation. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I'm sad at the news that the donations to the CGI have slowed down drastically. It was such a wonderful cause. Why would donations slow so drastically? I'm scratching my head over this. I mean when one talks about generous philanthropic-minded countries, at the top of the list we all think of Russia, Algeria, Nigeria, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. Russian donors contributed $145 million to the foundation, and they paid Bill $500,000 for a 20 minute speech. I hope the Clintons are able to make it through these trying times. They've paid their dues. Heck they were broke when they left the White House. That's why they stole some of the furniture when they left.
I'm sure the donations will start pouring in again. It's a wonderful cause. |
