What about ME for HHS?
I always pay my taxes. :shrug: That seems to be the most important requirement. Besides, I'm a really quick learner and I could really use the job.

1. Are you a Republican? It would double your chances.

2. What about me too. We could co-chair. You can do the work
and I can help. I'm a Senior so I'd be required to do far less. I'll split the pay, 60/40. Seem Fair?
I also pay my taxes so we've met the job requirements.

4. Best to think this thing through. Seeing you are West Coast and
I am East Coast, we've got the country covered. Now we just have to figure a way to do the job without really being there in the flesh too often. I don't think that would be so unusual, whenever I watch the House or Senate in session on TV, the halls are mostly empty anyway. No-one will notice. We can just show up on days when there is a cheap flight available, put in a few hours, making sure we expense it properly and do the rest from home. I think I'd have to get a Blackberry so Obama can keep me in the loop. You probably have one.

5. Blackberries give me a rash.
As for being there as little as possible I like it. If we keep quiet, and don't make a fuss it might be four to eight years of solid work. Lol, can't believe I called it work!

9. Forget the Blackberry, We'll figure out something. I'll just wait
for the phone call that is sure to come in the next few days. If they call you first, let me know.

7. You just ruined my day. Romney? If you knew how badly the
mandated Massachusetts plan is suffering, you'd be amazed. It is a huge, bottomless money pit. The Mass plan should not be a model.

As for Newt, please make that man disappear. He keeps showing up for no good reason.

8. I know. I am from MA too.
I could not agree more with you on the fact that Mass. should not be a model.

13. Sorry, maybe you can or maybe you can't spell...
The ME that wrote another post who calls himself ME as his user name is the ME that could spell the Chief of Staff's name.

Sorry I brought it up.

Drum roll you can keep . . . can't take back a drum roll.
