Kept in the Obama administration yes we lost -- -- qualifications.

Let's -- -- she's a major fund raiser for President Obama.

Begin an analyst -- it now.

Cut cut no it doesn't know she's a leftist in -- politics she's a celebrity who supported him in his reelection and she's a monster the world quits.

The reason people do it however.

President Obama back in slow pace when he first became president he said he was going to appoint more professionals -- diplomatic experience to -- -- diplomatic service.

Well since then he has appointed 59 ambassador was forty of which have no diplomatic experience especially supporters -- just half.

British so whoever.

If you we would make cook our ambassador to China.

It's a put down of the Europeans if they do this it is a put down to them in -- moment of crisis -- we are secretly trying to redo British fashion.

And it's not just a choice of what color to -- it's a choice of what role to play how to play the British vis a vis the Americans it is it is the eve -- up.

Diplomatic job in the American diplomatic so it's.

You ought ambassador to the court of saint James you have a money should mind their own region's -- -- -- -- to the big powers of Europe all the time what determines what you get -- ambassadorship to elect believes.

Could you raise me a lot of money and I wanna -- you -- back and ambassador to Great Britain is how much money you you race -- raise a lot she's one of the top handlers should wealthy that you can -- the qualifications.

Top ten -- celebrities support to left it did you know the total brought -- so as the political editor of the guardian.

Which is a rapidly anti American British newspaper that's a good political connection in the Obama team.

And she's a monster in the office those qualifications.

Which puts her in place to be to the court -- -- Well as I say John Bolton had a reputation for being very brash but he was you know UN ambassador again query whether that was a good match and she would be UK MS -- -- They say she doesn't want the job she's very happily installed over -- road and I -- working -- a piece about you that just took a turn for the worse.
