They’ll do great as $35.00 an hour protesters.

Didn’t Nixon also tried to play nice with LBJ appointees? In his case, Nixon had just 43 percent of the popular vote and neither house of Congress.

Harder to get real numbers than one might think.

I think around 500 is the number of purely political advisers and such.

Another 100 non-political staff.

In all, it seems 2000 people work in the White House. Many of them actually work for other branches and agencies.

And there may be another 1500 people who work there at least part-time.

I disagree, and there is no president who would have done what you say. You are entitled to your opinion, I disagree.

Funny how headhunters are usually looking for people with useful education and experience.
(like “Black Studies,” “LGBT Studies.” etc)

By the way, I do think you will eventually get your wish, a main disagreement you and I have is that I don’t think 9/11 could have pushed us that way.

I think something eventually will, but it is going to be bigger than that. And that was pretty big.

I think the thousands and thousands of people that Sadaam gassed and murdered for no reason but they disagreed with him might have a different opinion than you seem to.

“Obama’s been eating Kobe beef, not soul food.”

My comment was a metaphor! I Like Southern food, just don’t like the Obolas.

I understand that gentleman’s point of view, but looking at it dispassionately, we all know there wasn’t going to be a bombing campaign on Saudi Arabia.

I am someone who has always thought the Iraqis were behind the Oklahoma City bombing, so I have always felt that our country had a settle to score with Iraq...in much the same way I have always felt we had a score to settle with North Korea over the USS Pueblo.

That Iraq was openly aiding and abetting terrorism is unquestionable to me. One can only look to their providing asylum and protection to Abbu Abbas, just one single example. I have read “The Third Terrorist” by Jayna Davis, and am convinced Saddam Hussein was knee deep in that. He had it coming.

I do believe we will eventually be at open war with Islam, but I see that happening when there is an encompassing caliphate, not a larger group of individual national entities. I don’t have any idea how long it will be before that happens, but I feel strongly it will come to that someday, but it isn’t there yet, and it might not be for 50 years. But I think it is going to happen, because that is what Islam is. I know that is a very pessimistic point of view, but I am just trying to view it realistically.

That is why I feel relieved to hear a prospective National Security Advisor to Trump (Flynn) describe Islam as a “political ideology and a cancer.” As I said to LouAvul, I disagreed with many of Bush’s actions, reaching across the political aisle to the Democrats, keeping Democrats in various positions, and yes, hiring Colin Powell who showed himself to be a partisan, lying, liberal backstabber with no moral compass. (He knew all along that Scooter Libby had done nothing wrong, because he knew was the guilty party, but...he let Scooter Libby swing. I hated his chummy treatment of Ted Kennedy et al, and so many other things.

But I don’t fault him in the war on Afghanistan and Iraq.

Their severance package should consist of a box of Play Doh, crayons, and a coloring book - wrapped up and secured with a safety pin.

Surely they will be able to get a good job since the Obama economy was so great. Yes?

I remember when Bill Clinton took office. My 1st cousin, a Navy VET, had been working in the White House since Nixon. The phone company was told to replace him. He got laid off, lost his health care, developed cancer, and was dead in two short years.
_________________

I’m sorry to hear that, your story put ours to shame.

My cousin was one of the 92 or 93 Federal Prosecutors fired 60 days after Bill Clinton took office. He had been appointed by Nixon and served under both Carter and Reagan.

Just like the Travel office. Unprecedented.

The Government creates employment centers, instead of jobs.
The Government imports mass foreign labor, instead of jobs.

Former Obama Suckers, YOU created the unemployment mess ... SUFFER like a compliant subject.

Soon the suckers will realize the Government help is just FAKE NEWS.
