Any 'term' employee hired to support the Republican administration should depart with the politically appointed staff. If workers failed to go through a federal competitive hiring process - even though that has been manipulated for political favors at times, at least at JSC - the new administration should ask those employees to resign. If the workers wish to stay at NASA they should be required to compete for the positions absent any political influence.

...and what was Rebecca's prior position...1+1= what!

Come on now, we know it’s the season for those to embed themselves deep into the system before their term ends. Is it right, of course not! Its how the game is played, the political hire once leeches onto a senior leader then it’s easier for them to slitter within the system and hired into a permanent position. Is it right, heck no but it’s done to repay the administration for past support of their programs or policies, and world still turns as those embedded will continue to take care of those that brought them into their temp jobs. Just how your blog gets its inside information, from those embedded inside the system; you still get residual information from those you associated with in the past, is it right, of course not!

Editor's Note: For the record: Rebecca Keiser is a career employee and has been with NASA since 1999.  Roselee is a term hire, not a political hire. It would help if you actually knew the facts before you spouted off like this and slimed people.
