There seems to be a staffing crisis taking place in the White House at present. Every week or so we hear of another appointment or firing, and the media begins its spin machine going again, keeping the 24 hour news cycle fed.

Are they really fixing the HVAC or are they sweeping for Obama bugs?
I hope they find all the bugs and trace them back to Valerie Jarrett’s ear. Is she sitting over there in the Obama war room listening to all the juicy stuff and giving it to the media?
I have noticed that since being in NJ, those personal leaks have stopped and they’re having to publish leaks from the EPA instead.
