2. He's an asshole too. My mom retired from the Housing Authority

in her town. While she worked there as a director, he came for a political visit. She said he was the biggest prick she ever met. He was unfriendly, uncaring and very self centered. She spent the afternoon with him, so it wasn't a minor meeting. She really, really liked him until she actually met him.
