They line up near the Oval Office, down the hallway toward the Cabinet Room, with their spouses and young kids in tow. When its their turn, the White House staffers enter for a few private moments with President Barack Obama, a photo and a farewell hug from the boss.
Theres a mass exodus underway this week at the White House, as Obama and his staff pack up their offices and turn in their BlackBerrys. Some joined Obamas team right out of college and this is the end of the only professional experience theyve ever known. [ ]
As White House press secretary Josh Earnest emerged in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room on Tuesday to give his final press briefing his 354th as press secretary, Earnest said there were tears on the faces of some of his deputies. In the back of the room, current and former Obama staffers gathered to witness his last round of jousting with reporters.
Im going to miss it, Earnest said. It will take some getting used to seeing somebody else standing up here doing it.
Or not, he added, in a nod to the prospect that Trumps team may make changes to the daily briefing.

Good.
Did they pop all that “T”s off the keyboards first??
They shouldn’t be worried at all about jobs. Obama has created a glorious soviet/venezuela economy for them to flourish in.
Pelosi reassured them all that being unemployed can give them opportunities to do things they’ve never done before. It can even be like a vacation.
As my dear old granny used to say, “don’t let the screen door hit you in the ass on the way out!!”

The job market outside DC is soft for marxist punks.
Ditto.

Yes Josh. You were the tail-end of several daily liars. Robert Gibbs, Jay Carney and then Josh Earnest.
LOL!
Good grief...obama has another ‘final’ event tomorrow..a presser. Then he has another press event to tell his staffers goodbye on Friday. Then he will have pics of him and mooch leaving on jet to Palm Springs then there will be the never ending....Pres obama first interview.
Adious mofos
They knew it was a temporary position. Shake his hand, wish him well, turn over your badges, and get out!
Better search them and their briefcases on the way out.
Good
They will all have extremely well paying jobs in OFA. It’s going to be a bigger fight now, more than the past 8 years, as none of them will be bound by actual law. Not that Obama cared about the law.
Did I just read on Drudge that Obama put scads of them on the government payroll in other government agencies?
Putin, of all people, in remarks said that some people don’t say goodbye, they just leave quietly out of respect for the situation, but other people say goodbye all the time and then they never leave. He thinks the departing administration is the second type.
Bye! Bye!
Exactly. F these creeps.
