This thread does not merit fp. It is totally senseless and not having any significant importance. It is just a jobless guy listing wikipedia info here to justify his political stance. Buhari will get ministers in September. Until then, all your hues and cries make no sense.

barcanista:
Goodmorning All, I woke up this morning to read this thread "Buhari's Article: Buhari Was Right On Obama's Cabinet". It was meant to counter the points raised on my thread where I exposed the lies of Buhari where he alleged that Obama appointed some Cabinet members some months into his administration in his first term https://www.nairaland.com/2465799/buharis-article-misinformation-facts-records. Permit me to quote the words of Muhammadu Buhari, because it will help in my argument.

"When cabinet ministers are appointed in September, it will be some months after I took the oath of office. It is worth noting that Obama himself did not have his full Cabinet in place for several months after first taking office; the United States did not cease to function in the interim." --- (Pres. Muhammadu Buhari)"

Pls note the emboldened. I will hereafter analyse each and everyone that the OP of that thread brought up to serve his argument.

1. Gary Locke (2009-2011) - Secretary of Commerce (Nominated Feb 23, 2009):
I always advice people to get their fact right before coming out to counter people. After Obama was elected in November 2008, first nominee for the post of Secretary of Commerce was New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. He was nominated on December 3, 2008. www.nytimes.com/2008/12/04/us/politics/04transition.html?referrer=&referrer=
However, Richardson had to clear the allegations against him. He withdrew his nomination on the 6th of January 2009 to clear his name. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/28493919/

Obama was to be sworn-in on January 20, 2009 without a Commerce Secretary. On Feb 4, 2009 (13 days after swearing in), he nominated republican Senator Judd Gregg as the new Commerce Secretary-designate. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2009/02/obam-f04.html

Again, Sen Gregg withdrew his nomination on Feb 11, 2009 because he had opposed some Obama policies. www.politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/02/12/breaking-gregg-withdraws-from-consideration-for-commerce-post/#more-39861

Mr Gary Lock was the third nominee for this position in Obama's first term. He was nominated on Feb 23, 2009. Even befor Garry lock was confirmed, Mr Otto Wolff was acting in that capacity from January 20, 2009.

2. Kathleen Sebelius (2009-2014) - Secretary of Health and Human Services:
Like I said earlier Barak Obama made all his first term Cabinet nominations about a month before his first inauguration. Tom A. Daschle was the first nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services. He was nominated on the December 10, 2008.
www.nytimes.com/2008/12/12/us/politics/w11health.html?hp&referrer=

Unfortunately, Mr Daschle had to withdraw his nomination on Feb 02, 2009 over his tax issue and alleged conflict of interest. www.publicradio.org/columns/kpcc/kpccnewsinbrief/2009/02/daschle-withdraws-as-nominee-f.html
Kathleen Sebelius was nominated on Feb 23 same year as a replacement.

3. Sally Jewell (2013-present) - Secretary of the Interior
It is unfortunate that the author of the thread mentioned Sally Jewell who only came in after Obama's second inauguration. The first nominee/occupant of this office was Sen Ken Salazar, who was nominated of December 17, 2008.www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98347731
He was sworn-in on January 20, 2009. Same day with Obama.

On January 16, 2013 Salzaar was reported to have tendered his resignation from the cabinet. His resignation was however delayed until March 2013 pending the confirmation of Sally Jewell the new Nominee who was nominated in February. This in fact, was even Obama's second term.
www.news.yahoo.com/ap-source-interior-secretary-ken-salazar-leaving-121750247--politics.html

4. Penny Pritzker (2013-present) - Secretary of Commerce:
It is very unfortunate that the OP even brought people that came in after Obama's second inauguration.
Before Penny Pritzker came to office, Gary Locke (March 2009-Aug 2011), John Bryson (Oct 2011- June 2012) were former occupants of the office.
After Bryson sudden resignation in June 2012 Obama appointed Dr Blank to act the interim because it was an election year.
www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/john-bryson-resigns-as-commerce-secretary-citing-recent-seizure/2012/06/21/gJQAkkissV_story.html

Penny was nominated on 01 Feb, 2013.

5. Thomas Perez (2013−present) - Secretary of Labor:
Before Thomas Perez came to office, there was Mrs Hilda Solis who occupied the office. Solis was nominated in December 19, 2008 when Obama was President-elect. She was confirmed and Sworn-in on Jan 29, 2009 (9 days after Obama's first inauguration).
www.ehstoday.com/safety/news/obama_solis_labor_1223

Solis however made known her resignation on January 9, 2013 and left on Jan 22.
www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/01/10/labor-secretary-hilda-solis-resigns/

Perez was nominated as a replacement.

6. Anthony Foxx (2013-present) - Secretary of Transportation:
Finally, the first nominee/occupant of this office was Republican Ray LaHood. He was nominated on December 19, 2008 when Obama was President-elect. He was confirmed on Jan 22, 2009 (2 day after Obama's first inauguration) and was sworn-in Jan 23, 2009 (48hrs after Obama's inauguration) www.nytimes.com/2009/01/22/us/politics/22lahood.html?referrer=

On Jan 29, 2013 he announced that he will step down from the seat when a new nominee is confirmed. Obama nominated Anthony Foxx as replacement. Foxx was confirmed and Sworn-in July 02, 2013 (same day Ray Lahood left office).

I believe I have cleared all reasonable doubt that Buhari was clueless when he made the quoted statement above.

I believe that this article also make nonsense to whatever defence that the Buhari crew had earlier put up. However, I shall avail myself for me when called on for further debate.


May God Bless Us All

barcanista:
And Buhari woke up to compare himself with such a man. Now I see why Obama left him in the US to travel to Kenya. He must have seriously felt offended

is a dementia patient any better than a clueless and senseless cretin?

KruggerINC:


If you're half as intelligent as you try to portray yourself to be in the above article then how can u be so blind that you can't see a good thing for what it is.Mr Barcanaista whatever u may say,how ever u may say and under whatever circumstances u say it PMB is a million times better than GEJ as president of this great country.It hurts and baffles me when I see the way some people blindly followed PDP and GEJ...Well change has come and the thing is even people like you that are blind will still eventually benefit from the positive change that is inevitably coming to this country.

Oga my question is ..how many month did it take barack obama to appoint a full cabinet ??
Because I knw buhari have started appointing his agencies..and what he meant was that it took barack obama some month before he appointed full cabinet

BraniacX:


These(barcanista's) reffutal's are not gossip but truths meant to re-educate you and your ilk, that you reject the obvious truth which you can obtain yourself from the most minimal of research efforts says much more about you than you're willing to admit. Being a lying liar is not the path to salvation for our country and your immortal soul

meritt:



It is worth noting that Obama himself did not have his full Cabinet in place for several months after first taking office; the United States did not cease to function in the interim." -(Pres. Muhammadu Buhari)" Nothing to bath with acid for here just look at the issue carefully, and see from your assertion and table of appointment by OBAMA takes up to three months or not.. i can see january, february and march even April all in 2009. Is this anything to go by

Thank you and God bless you. When the President-elect Obama nominated his FULL Cabinet it was sent to the Congress pending confirmation. He did not even wait for one month to make his first full cabinet nominations. He started almost immediately he was elected and concluded about a month and some days after his election- about a month to the day of his first inauguration.

Dharniel:


excuse me, i'm not complimenting you neither am i insulting you. whenever i read any anti-APC thread or post on NL, all i see is bigotry and unbiased claims. the points they try to make is so full of insults, hatred and lies. their love for PDP and GEJ in person has blinded them in such a way that they refuse to see the truth. but in your case it's the other way round, i see your facts are well researched and well articulated and i sometimes share your opinion even though we are not on the same side. you said the others are been patriotic, patriotic my foot. they know nothing about patriotism, the fact that they have pledged their allegiance to PDP doesn't mean one should not see the truth even when it's crystal clear...

ayindejimmy:


*I'm not here insult people.*

What you're putting to me is: Your friend does more research than anybody, right?
Or the American govt, PDP and the Nigerian press didn’t hear Buhari make those comparison?
When it's time to criticize this govt, believe me, sane people will. Until then, all this are just blatant and inconspicuous accusations

Take or leave, he's where he is cos of what he can gain. If the FG engage him now, the song will CHANGE.

So, ask yourselves.
"What's my motivating factor in seeing negativity in everything a 6 week govt does? "
