- mark_edward 9y agonah she stole that job from an innocent man, no way a woman could actually be qualified.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoIt's not necessarily about her being a woman, as much as a Google employee. Obama hired dozens of Google employees to prominent executive branch positions during his term. http://www.googletransparencyproject.org/articles/googles-revolving-door-us http://www.googletransparencyproject.org/articles/googles-re...

- tanilama 9y agoYou are breaking the circlejerk here, she gets the job because she is a she, as the parent throwaway account dictates.
- mikeyouse 9y agoHer resume is beyond sterling, I literally don't believe you could find someone more qualified. But sure, she got the job because she's a woman.

- kregasaurusrex 9y agoI agree, she was an astonishingly qualified candidate at the time of her appointment. It's really unfortunate to see the recent exodus of high-profile intelligent people in the current administration at a time where leadership is needed most.
- rustynails77 9y agoUnfortunately, the media push very hard to promote women who don't deserve it. My wife, who is a very capable and experienced engineer, is sick of it because it makes capable women look bad. Quotas and mandates exacerbate the problem and only serve to create antagonism. Unfortunately, political correctness casts a shadow over good women. If you want to point a finger at anybody, start with the media.
- daxfohl 9y agoPlease edit and remove the anchor hashtag. The childhood section is even more awesome.
- matt4077 9y agoi just love that she build a TV, and then, as in "later", her "interest grew"–when she was 10.
- kevinyen 9y agoI was lucky enough to get to know and work with her a bit, before her appointment. She is an amazing person.
- smoyer 9y agoPeople may be awful but those who are best at it are often also the loudest.
- daxfohl 9y agoAnd something to do with her resignation. Didn't Obama's cabinet have a ridiculous number of PhD's, and Trump's end up replacing some Nobel laureates with Rick Perry?

- michaelbuckbee 9y agoSteven Chu (Nobel Prize in Physics 1997) was succeeded by Ernest Moniz (Nuclear Physicist, MIT Professor) who was succeeded by Rick Perry (who forgot which agency he was going to abolish if elected [1]) 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTNjhcyx7dM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTNjhcyx7dM
- huac 9y agoThese are the last 3 heads of the Department of Energy. Perry is especially hilarious in this context because he intended to abolish the DOE.
- dboreham 9y agoThat wouldn't be so surprising (since the Environment Dept. head wanted to abolish it too, and Betsy Voss I'm sure wants to abolish the Education Dept). The surprising thing is that he believed that the Dept of Energy was to do with regulating the "Energy" aka Oil and Gas industries.
- wbl 9y agoGeorge W. Bush didn't always appoint slouches either. Samuel Bodman was a professor at MIT and then went into industry. Spencer Abrahams, the prior officeholder, was a politico.
