This guy should have resigned. He’s one of those greedy white folks and doesn’t deserve to be around Obamamessiah’s aura.

Obama is like Jimmy Carter. He can't pick qualified people to run his Veep vetting campaign. You wonder how he's going to fill his Administration. Let's face it: the guy isn't qualified to tie his own shoe laces. He has no business being Commander In Chief Of The Free World.

As an insider in the mortgage business, Johnson makes Franklin Raines look like Moses. Johnson was always a hustler (with no economic sense) who rises to the top through gladhanding (no surprise) and some inappropriate wheeling and dealing.

He is no different than many, but without the positives that even Franklin Raines could have brought.

Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Aint no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, Im gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think Im going to get along,
Without you, when youre gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Chorus

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When hes down
But Im ready, yes Im ready for you
Im standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat
