Jamie and Lloyd and the rest of Mt. Olympus held a meeting of America's Board of Directors the White House today. They had to make tough, grown-up decision, no doubt.
How many White House meetings with Obama does this make for Lloyd, just since last November?
a. One
b. Two
c. Three? Are you @#$%ing me?
Bonus question: how many times has Obama sought Paul Krugman's advice during this time? Or Howard Dean? Or Liz Warren? Or...

(12,647 posts)whether or not they've just gotten too greedy for their own good. Maybe they're finally realizing the theft of our $3 trillion SS surplus is just not something they'll get away with, and they're going to have to pay it back, because the people are talking torches and pitchforks now. Time to tap into those offshore accounts. That's where the peoples money has been stashed.

(62,325 posts)And why are you complaining anyhow? Jamie and Lloyd are the bosses. They practically own the WH and no one can live there without their permission. Hell, they own Downing St too among other important institutions.
They probably called the meeting to tell the President whether they were happy with the job he's doing or not. Don't they have a right to do that? Think of the money they spent so far. When we the people are willing to spend as much as they are, THEN we will have the right to call a meeting at the WH. I can understand why no one who represents us cheapskates has done that yet.
