No, if they could have found a Farsi Speaking Latino Gender Curious Pacific Islander Female, she would have gotten the job instead.
Government is no longer about finding the right person to do the job semi-efficiently - regardless of gender / ethnicity - and to make proper decisions and help people - regardless of gender / ethnicity. There are plenty of women and men of many races more capable to put in these positions, but they are not bureaucratic political HACKS of the party in power.
Government's job is now to spread diversity and happy feeling. Sadly that is not what happens these days. The adults have left the room and they people that couldn't make it academia are now running the ship and can't navigate. We are arguably at the greatest national apathy in 40 years and we get HACKS.
We need the adults back - gender / race does not and should not matter. Best people for the roles. But that is not a progressive mantra. Meritocracy has no merit. To them it smacks of privilege though to the rest of us it smells like academia.
So we vote for these clowns, put them in power, and they bring in the ass kissing self-licking-ice-cream-cones and voila! Presto-frickin-changeo - things suck more.
Obama was not qualified to be POTUS and six plus into his eight years in office he has proven that time and time again.
But people voted for him because HOPE.
