It was not until President Obama has fired Elizabeth Birnbaum who is the head of the Interior Department’s Minerals Management Service that she finally has to leave her position.
According to some associated press sources, president obama will announce that Elizabeth Birnbaum must leave her current position. Considering that she had been there since July 2009.
Its all about her agency who leases oil companies and monitors offshore drilling had caught the eye of some people which finally resulted in criticism for lax oversight since the BP Gulf of Mexico explosion last April 20, 2010.
At 12:08 pm ET, it was official that Elizabeth Birnbaum has resigned from her job. Kel Salazar had talked about Birnbaum’s departure at some hearing early in the morning. Actually Elizabeth should be there but it was Salazar who showed up.
He left the place with these words:
Birnbaum resigned “on her own terms and her own volition.”
During a news conference later in the day, President Obama didn’t clearly tell if he had fired her or not all he the president said, he wants “people operating at the highest level”
