-So, I'm looking for a guy that can keep the whole place together. any suggestions Mr. President?
-Yes, Jack Gray
And then Barack says, "I don't even like fried chicken!"
"Did you mean what you said back there, Mr. President? Chavez and Castro are getting bailouts too? Can we have one? It's getting expensive protecting you from Latin America, domestic terrorists, pirates, and the GOP!"
If you ever shake that guy Chavez's hand again, I'm gonna boot ya right outa here!
Mr Panetta: " Don't look so down Mr President, I thought your speech went well, I give you a thumbs up."
Pres O, the meeting is not over yet... we can still go back and talk about how smarticles we are...
Look Kappes, I'm the Director of the CIA and should be on Barack's right hand side. Deuty Directors are on the left hand side, dummy.
He gets to ride in a limo but, as you see, my thumb is up. Guess I have to hitchhike!
"Uhm, Mr. President. The limousine is back that way."
Persident Obama looking glum after leaving the CIA. Guess they didn't let him win at 'Risk'.
Since I am back from the 5th Summit of the Americas, I cant concentrate. My thoughts are so far away – still thinking of Hugo Chavez’ handshake and his warm smile.

"Did you mean what you said back there, Mr.President? Chavez and Castro are getting a bailout too? Can we have one? It's getting expenxive protecting you from the Latin American Leaders, domestic terrorists, Pirates and the GOP?"
Look Kappes, I'm the Director of the CIA and should be on Barack's right hand side. Deputy Directors are on the left hand side, dummy.
Seriously, Sir. Just lay down on the table and allow us to pour a little water over your head. Suddenly, you'll have a change of heart and start seeing things our way.
Shoot! There's a..... smart one....... in every crowd.
But, Mr. President, time-outs don't work as well as psychological pressure on terrorists!
If we could get him to only smile on command then everyone would be happy. At 47 though, II think he’s too old to train.
Hey, do you mind if I run back in? I think I left my shredder on.
Don’t worry Obama! I have been with the Government for many years now and none of my paychecks have ever bounced back… What they do is that.. if they don’t have any.. they just print some more…
Sorry about that Chief. Next time I'll leave Larabie in charge of the Cone of Silence.
President Obama "You didn't warm up the crowd, did you Leon?" Leon Panetta "I tried! See what I have to deal with?"
Panetta – Don't worry about it boss, they bought every word.
Obama – I'm only worried about the bonuses you gave them for cheering
Kappes – At least nobody had clown noses
No worries; I told all of the agents before you arrived that they will all pull 'bo' duty at some time during their employment.
I wonder why I feel as if I`m being watched ?
Sir...you get a thumbs-up for trying.
Mr. President, we can't tell you what we do. It's a classified secret.
Since I am back from the 5th Summit of the America, I cant concentrate. My thoughts are so far away – still thinking of Hugo Chavez' handshake and his warm smile.
GREAT speech, Mr. President! And if any CIA employees complain about the banning of certain interrogation techniques, we'll use those banned interrogation techniques on THEM!
I SURE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE C.I.A. CAFETERIA SIR. AND ONCE AGAIN I APOLOGIZE FOR THE CORNDOG DISGUISED MICROPHONE!
If you release another one of our memos, Mr. President, you're outta here!
Don't worry. I'll keep the confidential documents inside the manilla folder.
