Elected-in-chief should be exempted.
Screw it. I WANT this guy to be the next prez just for the chuckles.
You had one job, Obama. Well, more than one, and you pretty screwed them all up: Foreign policy, economic policy, transparency, you name it. And when you're spending the last 30 or so years of your life wandering the planet as an ex-president, don't ever get on your high horse about the dignity of the office of the president or any of that sort of shit. Because whatever honor the Oval Office might have had after a multi-decade occupation by jackasses who were evil (LBJ, Nixon), semi-comatose (Ford, Carter), mendacious as hell (Reagan, Clinton), clueless (George W. Bush), you've kind of helped piss it all away. But WTF, right, muchacho? YOLO.
WTH?
Dumb and Creepy

I often think about the genius of the Founders, and then I just shake my head at the intellectual midgets who so easily destroyed what they created.
Obama vows to ‘squeeze every last little bit of change’ out of final two years
President Obama on Friday night returned to his core 2008 themes of hope and change, telling Democratic party loyalists that he intends to challenge “cynical politics” during his final two years office.
Speaking at a party fundraiser in San Francisco, the president blamed Democrats’ poor showing in the November midterm elections on voter apathy driven by frustration and anger with government. He said low turnout largely is to blame for the GOP gaining seats in the House and capturing control of the Senate.
But Mr. Obama said he still has two years in office and intends to use that time to strengthen Americans’ faith in Washington.
“Part of my goal is also to restore a sense of possibility in our politics and our government. And in some cases, that means challenging folks who are practicing the worst kind of cynical politics, and a politics based on fear rather than hope,” he said. “In some cases, it’s going to be finding areas of cooperating with Republicans. In either case, we’re going to need people like you to support these ongoing efforts.”
While battling Republicans — and in some cases, his own party — on political fights of the day, Mr. Obama said he’s also beginning to lay the groundwork for Democratic campaigns in 2016.
“Two years is a long time. And two years is also the time in which we’re going to be setting the stage for the next presidential election and the next 10 years of American policy,” the president said. “And so I intend to run through the tape and work really hard, and squeeze every last little bit of change and improvement in the lives of ordinary Americans and middle-class families that I can.”

Vice President Joe Biden clearly takes a hands on approach when it comes to his day job.
Tuesday, at Defense Sec. Ash Carter‘s swearing-in ceremony, Biden got all touchy feely with Carter’s wife, Stephanie. From the pictures, it looks like he’s whispering sweet nothings into her right ear. He’s also getting a good whiff of her shampoo.
More Biden Creepiness

George W. Bush on what he misses most: ‘Saluting those who … put themselves in harm’s way’
Former President George W. Bush said he is always asked what he misses most about being the leader of the free world — and his response, first joking, then turned serious: “I miss saluting” the ones who pledge to defend at all costs, he said.
“I miss … the Air Force accommodating me with a shower on the airplane that flew me around,” he first said at a recent Military Service Initiative Summit, The Blaze reported.
And he added: “I don’t get irritated, but I do have to stop at stoplights now,” The Blaze reported.
But then he turned serious.
“I miss saluting those who volunteer to put themselves in harm’s way,” he said. “And I have vowed for the remainder of my life that I will do all I can do to help our vets.”
