Obama Administration Appointees Get Low Marks

Obama administration appointees don't impress senior career managers. The team which started arriving in 2009 gets lower marks from career managers than the appointees of the George W. Bush administration. That's according to a survey conducted by Government Business Council, part of Government Executive magazine. The survey asked 148 senior executives and GS-15s how the Obama appointees are doing. The appointees received an average grade of C. A third of the respondents gave them D or F grades. Their average of 2.0 compares to an average of 2.3 for the Bush appointees. Career managers cited a lack of appreciation for procurement and human resources rules on the part of appointees.

Career managers cited a lack of appreciation for procurement and human resources rules on the part of appointees. This is very interesting!! Points to potential misappropriation of funds and discriminatory practices! Wonder if they could elaborate on this!! Very telling. This is pure obama. Do as I say, not as I do. A critic of the previous administration who performs worse than the previous one.

They had government workers rate other government workers and they still received a low grade.... Imagine if they had the private sector with actual productive managers rate these people.....
