    Obama going through his 2nd COS in his first term? its all hitting the fan. We were told Daley was to help with the business image but I guess that didn't work. Something must have happened for this guy to want to quit so fast and so soon.

    Hmmm... so once again we take a fairly common situation and infer something nefarious?

    For reference, Reagan went through 3 CoSs during his second term. HW went through 3 for his single term.

    But yeah, it's Obama so there has to be some deep dark reason...

    Lol.

    Just like the WH Insider told us. Surprise, surprise!

    First COS

    Second COS

    Notice the survivor? Barack's #1 (or is she #2?) woman... Valerie Jarrett.

    Gotta please the women in Obama's life... or BANG -- you're out.

    Reagan had 4 in two terms.

    George H. W. Bush had 3 in one term.

    I am not sure I understand why this is indicative of anything other than folks changing jobs.

    Today's word is 'nefarious' N-E-F-A-R-I-O-U-S. < Latin nef&#257;rius wicked, vile, equivalent to nef&#257;s offense against divine or moral law ( ne- negative prefix + f&#257;s law, right) + -ius -ious, with intervocalic s > r

    Used twice (that I'm aware of) in toddwv's posts today. Thank you toddwv. I look forward to tomorrows word.

    Here's another lefty word-of-the-day that's popped up in the posts of a lib member twice today: Jettison

    Jettison - a voluntary sacrifice of cargo to lighten a ship's load in time of distress

    Must be part of the DNC's suggested vocabulary for smear campaigns.

    Really?

    I would be most interested in reading that and perhaps reviewing my position on the matter.

    Can you share the source with us?

    Interesting indeed. You righties were tripping all over yourselves to attack Obama for having corporate advisors who had been part of the meltdown. Now he is asking for the resignations of some of those and selecting new ones and once again you are finding fault even before you know the outcome.

    Who coulda guessed hypocrisy would be so obvious?

    Interesting!

    I had read that William Daley did not get along well at all with Michelle Obama.

    Looks like Michelle is now deciding who the latest White house advisors will be for her "panty-waist" husband!

    That should give us all a lot of confidence in Barack Obama's future decisions!

    This is Obama's first term, not even a full 3 years.

    Daley probably couldn't stand Obama's anti-business policies...so he had to get out while he still could.

    One piece of Chicago white trash disappears another will reappear to cover the monkey on our backs back. :popcorn: Once the pos is gone the investigations will begin. :)

    That sounds like a good read. I am interested in reading it myself.

    Can you share with us the source?

    Yes, there has to be some deep reason because as his followers think he is The Anointed One, why are the rats leaving? The ship must be sinking.

    So if it's 3 in 4 years it's perfectly normal but 3 in 3 is a sinking ship ? It's good to know where the official line is drawn for administration staff turnover to deemed as a disaster. What if this one stays until November next year ? Does this mean it's in Reagan administration territory and therefore OK ?

    You guys are sounding fairly desperate.

    Its very abnormal, especially in a first term.

    Reagan's first term had 1.

    I am sorry, do you have the actual source of the other poster's assertions? Because I have no interest in reading the sort of nonsense that is cited in your post. It is unfounded gossip.

    So please provide the supporting citation for his or her post or do not involve me in off topic diatribes.

    Aaaah so it's different because it's the first term. Do you have some "official guide to first term vs second term staff turnover rates" that you are consulting ? Or have you just arbitrarily decided that 3 COSs in the second term is AOK but in the first term.... ZOMG sinking ship !!

    Making it up as you go along.

    So you don't have an official guide and you have just arbitrarily decided... good, got it, thanks.

    Yes, I decided. Wow, you really uncovered a mystery there.

    Obama is a failure as president. I don't hate the guy, but he just stinks as a leader.
