#1 the creeping sense of despair among his aides was palpable Why should anyone care what they think or feel?

#2 I hope the Attorney General pick really gets their goat.

#3 I'm hoping Mattis gets in as Sec.Defense. Trump is already taking advise from him. He'll have it running down the Obamites legs.

#4 ...given the immense authority the national security adviser has over matters of war and peace.
Funny, my school work on American Civics has an adviser having zero power.

#5 Why should anyone care what they think or feel?

Well, I do for one. Whether you like it or not. The more miserable they are, the happier I find myself being.

#6 Ahhh!

I'm sure a lot of people have felt that way when they are called to the boss's office to hear "You're Fired!".

#10 I think the despair is from the anxiety that the details of the Obama machine are going to be exposed much sooner than anticipated.

#13 Yeah, The team of Susan Rice and Ben Rhodes were such winners for us...

Their accomplishments:
- Libya debacle...to include Benghazi
- Collapse of mid-east peace talks
- Iran debacle
- ISIS caliphate established
- But, hey she did warn us about Ebola...

#14 Valerie Jarret, Susan Rice. Ben Rhodes, John Kerry, the core of the National Security Team that has done so much for the country...... I look forward to the stories as the rats jump ship and the galley slaves can finally come topside and talk....
