Title: Teehee,,

The government shutdown has forced Obama to make do with only a quarter of his 1,701 person staff. That would leave 436 “vital” employees. The 90 people who look after his living quarters would be slashed to 15 to “provide minimum maintenance and support”.

Buckingham Palace, which is twelve times the size of the White House and has its own clockmaker, only has an 800 person staff. King Harald V of Norway and his court make do with 152 staffers. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden gets by with 203.

On Twitter, Michelle Obama announced that she is unable to Tweet on her own without the aid of all of her sixteen assistants; many of whom take home six figure salaries. There are more directors, associate directors and deputy associate directors on Michelle Obama’s staff than there were in George Washington’s entire administration.

Presidents have fought wars and made peace, explored and annexed vast territories and built a nation out of a handful of colonies with fewer senior staffers than are needed to handle Michelle Obama’s Twitter account.

It's often noted that Abraham Lincoln shined his own shoes.

Many things change for the better - a few things don't. Presidents are the closest thing we Americans have to royalty - and far to much fuss is made. Every inauguration has to outdo the last one.

"every inauguration has to outdo the last one" No problem Tony, there's plenty of money to pay for it.

"We'll see this afternoon whether this progress is real,” Obama told reporters, standing in front of a table piled with bologna sandwiches. “And you know, my hope is that a spirit of cooperation will move us forward over the next few hours.”

Really? baloney sandwiches? buuuuuwahaha ;D

This must be his signature luncheon... feeding the peeps baloney again.
