May 2013

If the President were a closet Republican, do you really think he'd be tapping the Bush Administration for talent? Why would he go to the shat-in well for that?

The President is dipping in the shit because he can totally control the shit. It doesn't matter what party the piece of shit identified with before, the piece of shit will work under the direction of this President.

He's not going to have dinner with the asshole and say, "thanks for ruining America and I hope you can find a way to fuck it up worse now."

This President is far more likely to tack a lawyer to the guy as his "assistant," inform the new appointee that his assistant will be conveying the wishes of the President, and that the appointee is not permitted to act on his own, ever, in any capacity. And then the President will run the goddamned office himself.
