I notice the continuous campaigning president is back on the road again in that role. This guy is the equal of a circus midway barker. Rather than going on the road occasionally to make speeches underpinning major policy matters, this jerk continues in his continuous campaign modes. See, the difference. Reagan for instance would go out and give a speech to underpin a policy. This jerk goes out to demean the GOP, F0X news, Right To Work, and Less Government constituancies.
So, he is keeping things together at 1600? I guess, just like Haig did with Nixon, it is his CofStaff as Nixon was preoccupied with Watergage, (o)bama is preoccupied with demeaning anyone who votes anti him. My guess is he will want someone very strong willed in that position, a pragmatist too. I don’t see Dukakis or Das-hole filling it. It will also be a syncophant of his who will bash the GOP at will. So, who is termed out somewhere or in labor or in accedemia who that fits that mold? Perhaps Howard Dean?
This makes it obvious that Gibbs will be taking the job.
