    I guess...but that would mean 4 years probably or more. So while it'd be a cool opportunity, it's not what I want to do.

    Absolutely. My wife's already applied. Obama is my homeboy and I will step to the plate for him.

    The only secure jobs for the next 4 years are in the Obama administration and landlords in the DC area. I'm thinking about the latter since I'm already here.

    i would take any job i could get that was legal and ethical right now.

    that being said it would depend on what it was i was doing for the administration because im sure there is going to be a lot going on the next four years that i would consider unethical..

    It would depend on what the job was. Is this something I'm actually going to be good at or am I being valued for perceived incompetence where I'm expected to toe a particular party line or agenda as a so-called "expert" where someone more skilled at the job would find themselves butting heads with puppet masters and drawing attention to misinformation and other propaganda meant to choreograph opinion and support for a private interest instead of the greater good. As HHB alluded to- is it ethical?

    I'll entertain Michelle while Barry travels. She likely has needs.
