to raise awareness for businesses that are paying their employees above minimum wage.

"Despite what some posts here suggest, the current CIA director, John Brennan is the fifth person to serve as CIA Director during the Obama presidency.

At the time the time of President Obama's first inauguration, the CIA Director was Michael Hayden, who had been appointed to the job by Bush. Hayden stepped down in early February 2009 and was replaced by Leon Panetta, a former Democratic member of Congress and later Chief of Staff to Bill Clinton. He was confirmed with little muss or fuss in February 2009 and served until July 1 2011. Panetta was succeeded by CIA Deputy Director, Michael Morell, who Obama named as acting Director pending the naming of a replacement for Panetta. Morell served from July 2011 to September 2011 when David Petraeus was named and confirmed as CIA Director. A little over a year later (November 2012) Petraeus resigned due to a sex scandal and Morell was again named Acting Director, an office he held until March 2013 John Brennan, who was nominated in January 2013, was confirmed."
