That picture is really not accurate at all. This POS has not been at his desk once since he took office.

Too bad his simplicity and spartan office decorating interests didn’t carry over to his vision of the government.

He’s only in the office for the photo opp. He’s got a secret office anyway you can bank on it. Only the inner circle of hommies has access to it.

The redecorating probably saved or created 1,000 jobs!

I thought this was a joke..... BUT NO.... This man is all about the photo-op, You just know he plans on his face being on Mt Rushmore.

He thinks he will be a big part of history. He will, although it will be on the wrong side. This may be how he wants to be remembered. The destroyer of America.

I can’t believe they left the first three comments on the LATimes site. Read them quick before they take them off.
