#1 Kinda explains a lot when he (and most likely his flunkies) only do their job 41% of the time.

#2 As Gilbert and Sullivan put it in Thespis:

In short, you will see from the facts that I'm showing,
The state of the case is exceedingly sad;
If Thespis's people go on as they're going,
Olympus will certainly go to the bad!
From Jupiter downwards there isn't a dab in it,
All of 'em quibble and shuffle and shirk;
A premier in Downing Street, forming a cabinet,
Couldn't find people less fit for their work!

#3 Yeah, but it wasn't his fault. He had a lot of foursomes that demanded his attention on the links.

#4 Don't worry, Barry. Put her on auto pilot and play another round. We never really wanted you in the White House anyway.

#5 ValJar makes all the important decisions anyway.

The one time Bumbles made an important decision was when Osama Bin-Laden was put down (ValJar had blocked several opportunities before then) - since then she's kept him on a very tight leash.

#6 It would be fascinating to actually know how many PDB's Champ actually read versus how many ValJar read. They might shed some light on how the intel community has seen the departure of those (DIA,CIA) whose reporting didn't fit with what she wanted to see.

#7 Champ doesn't have to read the PDB's, that's what he's got [mystery man] John Brennan for. If anything needs to be brought to Champ's attention, Brennan will ring up Valjar and see to it.

#11 It's going to be hard to scrub that image from one's mind.

#12 She's never more than a few feet away.

#13 JV (Junior Varsity). I have always referred to Zero as the Junior Senator from Illinois and will never be any thing better than JV. But that would insult Cruz. So I will now refer to Zero as Junior Varsity Community Organizer at best. But then again, beware of the under side of the bus.

#14 Hell, like he'd understand them anyways. Corpse-Men, he reads MOH ceremonies like I would stutter through the step by steps of a heart transplant.

Probably thought driving technicals was some sort of basketball foul until his oh duh breaker flipped.

#15 Intelligence, Intelligence, who needs Intelligence, I've got plenty of Intelligence after all I'm Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro, Barry Soetoro, Barack Soetoro, Barry Soetoro Obama, Barack Obama. I've got to keep all these alias' straight and keep my deep Manchurian Candidate cover.

Middle East, yeah that's Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia...see, I've got it all covered... Intelligence... yeah, I've got it.
