#5 The empty chair already has his 31 million dollar mansion in Hawaii, just a few more months of golf and teleprompter recitations and then the easy life. Hows that attitude for an incombent "President".

I really believe the story about his new Hawaiian home a couple of days before the DNC Convention was for a reason.

#6 How the Sam Hill did he accumulate the resources to buy a $31.0 million house?

Oh wait, all of those unspent donations to his political campaign?

Maybe this administration has been on the take and more corrupt than we thought.

I suppose the house is a gift of gratitude from the bankers and the brokerages that got fat from the Stimulus.

#7 How the Sam Hill did he accumulate the resources to buy a $31.0 million house?

You think there were no kickbacks to all these billions that he's passed to friends?

#8 How the Sam Hill did he accumulate the resources to buy a $31.0 million house?

Repeated from yesterday, for those that missed it:

To be fair, most Presidents have acquired a house prior to the end of their final term, usually paid for by collecting money from friends, political allies, and past political donors [who also assist in funding the Presidential library].

[In the past, Presidents generally didn't have a lot of money when they entered the White House. The current White House occupant is somewhat of an exception, having made money on his auto-biography.]

If the various news sources are to be believed, it's a bit different this time around, because the fundraising is a tad less... enthusiastic.

#9 Speaker Eastwood performs a harmless, comedic monologue. The union leader, hate filled chair tossing violence. You decide.

#10 Come up with that little skit all on your own there? Well congratulations, with your redicule I now officially count Eastwood's original as an official success.

Chairface not only went AWOL, the white house was throwing a lot of support to them early on, which committed the local collectivists to go all in. They thought they still had a chance or at least needed to show the will to finish the game, the White House flushed its toilets and washed their hands noticably earlier than the election. They dropped the Unions flat on their asses.
