I only wonder how many of the Chimp's appointees were quietly held over by this administration. I suspect it is a very large number indeed. Yeah, that's the change I voted for.

What sucks is that the POTUS can get away with this shit because millions of progressives have no place else to go and will do anything to prevent Rmoney from becoming president. I suspect we are laughed at on a regular basis by the WH inner circle.
