Reggie Love on life as Obama’s “chief of stuff”

**SNIP**

What does a bodyman do? Dubbed Obama’s “chief of stuff” in the news media, Love explains the job like this: “I was his DJ, his Kindle, his travel agent, his valet, his daughters’ basketball coach, his messenger, his punching bag, his alarm clock, his vending machine, his chief of stuff, his note passer, his spades partner, his party planner, his workout partner, his caterer, his small forward, his buffer, his gatekeeper, his surrogate son, and ultimately, his friend.”

Early-morning workouts, food and, yes, basketball helped bring them together. They e-mailed each other stat lines from top NBA point guards (the president liked the Spurs’ Tony Parker, while Love rooted for the Clippers’ Chris Paul) and played hoops with local citizens during the campaign. During a game against New Hampshire firefighters, Obama approached Love and told him to ease up a little bit. “Reggie, we want to win,” Obama said. “But we also want to win their support.”

I think I saw “bun warmer” somewhere on the list.

Did he say "kindle" or "spindle"?

Follow the ill-gotten money, the sodomy, and/or the abortion trail and you will find a liberal.

Reggie's "other" main job ...

... was to keep the POTUS coke nails trimmed so no one would know.

I just watched it.....what a gig if you can get it. You basically are the personal assistant to the President. I am not sure who President Bush’s personal assistant was. No book for him?????? Oh well Obama is clearly the only President that the United States has ever had.

He's more the chief of the other staff.

He left out catamite. I don't believe the raging narcissist obama has any friends.

Is the word “stuff” in “Chief of Stuff” a noun or a verb?

Why on earth would a Duke grad accept a salary as low as $28,000.00 in 2005 ???????

All those Obama & Reggie Love pictures remind me of this one...
