Help Wanted: Personal Assistant to the President
**Written by Doug Powers
Based on that headline, you might be wondering if Brian Williams is retiring. No, but a different personal assistant — this one based at the White House — is calling it quits.
Reggie Love will be leaving at the end of the year:
Reggie Love, the former Duke basketball player who has been a constant presence by Obama’s side since the 2008 presidential campaign, will depart the White House by the end of the year, a person familiar with his decision said.
Love, 30, is the latest in a string of longtime Obama aides to leave the White House this year, including senior adviser David Axelrod, press secretary Robert Gibbs, deputy press secretary Bill Burton and deputy communications director Jen Psaki. All were part of Obama’s team since at least since the 2008 race.
If you’d like to try and get the gig, the compensation package is in the neighborhood of $100,000 a year. Frequent meal stops, paid vacations, and freedom from the hassles of commercial airlines are included.
Here’s a partial list of job duties for those thinking about applying:
His job requirements have included everything from carrying copies of the president’s speeches, his iPod, and a steady supply of gum, newspapers and aspirin, to taking photos for audience members as they shook the president’s hand. Wherever the president goes, Love has rarely been more than a few steps behind.
Love was lucky in that in 2008 and 2009 the MSM voluntarily carried Obama’s water, so the workload was lightened just a bit. Whether or not the next personal assistant gets the same help remains to be seen.
Apply here. Teleprompter repair and maintenance experience required. Better than average top-of-the-key jumper a plus.

You forgot purveyor of hot towels and various flavored body oils.
That job would be dangerous, to life and to mental health. True Patriots need not apply.
From a thread a few days ago that GEL posted about bho and love, makes one wonder? Wonder if love goes on all the trips out of the US that bho, with or without mo?
L
Gee, rather skimpy skills required for that job.
I’m sure there are lots of seasoned Penn State assistants who are ready to take over that slot.
Jump all over this, ILMC, this is right up your alley, so to speak.
I’m thinking that the guys who were tending to Baron Harkonnen in the movie “Dune” would be suitable: the only one that didn’t have his lips stitched shut was busy slathering platitudes.
Heart plugs optional.
He’d have to give up Occupy Mom’s Basement and he’s only on day 35,972. He won’t leave until she switches back to Jif from Peter Pan.
Crunchy style?
I’m sure Chris Rock will be first in line to help Obumblears with his gansta sh!t.
You had to go there, didn’t you?
I am thinking along the same lines. They left something out of the qualifications required for the job.
Let’s see if only that one feature of the President’s jobs bill had passed….mmm… the White House could hire one of the long-term un-employed and receive a credit for that which would save on the White House budget. Yeh, a double benefit to tax-payers and a reduction in the un-employment numbers….I think.
Let me see, where is my calculator. And how many jobs created/saved does that count for?
Will Chrissy-Silly Matthews apply? That tingle up his leg might need a re-charge.
A quote from ILMC: Ma! They’re picking on me again! Can you bring some extra Depends down to
the basementHeadquarters for Occupy Mom’s Basement? I’ve been President-Stimulated again!Thanks for the laugh. You nail IT!
L
PunditPete #12,
Giving the WH`s propensity for over-exageration, considering the job qualifications expressed, implied and (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) expected, it`s undoubtedly in the 100s or even 1,000s !
I’m sure this will be a Nation wide search going to the lowest bidder.
babiesgrandma $14,
And a towel ! It`s a mess down there !
A job following Obama around? Can I apply for a job working in the sewer instead?
Good one! Or how about at the bottom of a swamp?
Draw your own conclusions here, folks.
There would be less sh!t to put up with.
I would think Anderson Cooper would want to perform that job.
Off topic…
I am watching a family of squirrels running around in the back yard, chasing each other through the leaves, stopping to eat some of the leaves, then pouncing on each other and running away. There is a family including some tiny baby ones. Awwwww!
I know I have talked about shooting squirrels and eating them in the past. I still think that is o.k. It’s just that you would be shooting cute ones and babies. I bet they are more tender.
Talk about Ebony and Ivory!! They would make a cute couple!!
Barry is losing the Love of his life… his “body man”… whose behind has rarely been more than a few steps away from Barry…
Asked why Love always travelled with him, Obama said he just couldn’t leave his aides behind.
Winner!
You people are disgusting and Powers is a buffoon.
If we people are so disgusting, HB, why are you here? If you MUST vomit, just stick your finger down your throat unless you just love having us disgust you.
Besides we enjoy “disgusting” current events.
Would this PA have to love the numerous “golf outings?” (Hey, I’ve seen Ali-bama’s swing…I don’t think he’s golfing, for the sake of golfing.)
Having a young, attractive female PA would look bad for a male president, but, having a good looking, young, male PA travel with the President raises no impropriety questions? (You can’t ask the Secret Service.)
The PA spends time everyday with the POTUS, even travelling with him on his numerous outings. I would venture to say, that the PA spends more time with the President, than does the first lady. This raises no eyebrows?
Very interesting….
Are they married?
Reportedly, one of the requirements to fill the position is:
Must love tickle fights.
Perhaps you’d like to apply for the job?
BTW, I have friends who call me a sick disgusting bastard, and I consider it a compliment.
Seems like you God fearing folks would want to work for a man with such God-like abilities.
Unfortunately you’d all probably be exposed as phony Christians just by being so close to the Perfection that we call Barack Obama.
Don’t worry, the Westboro congregation will always accept you people.
OT- banner ad on top of Mrs. Malkin’s page is from uber-lib lobbying group AARP and targetted at illegal aliens.
Read HillBuzz sometime. Some pretty compelling evidence that there is a reason that Michelle Obama always looks p!ssed off. Barack likes boys. He bites the pillow. He is a Hershey Highway Patrolman. A Rump Ranger.

NTTIAWWT….
Then leave. No one is stopping you. In fact, get the hell out.
Now that there was just darn funny!!!
If not, they are living in sin! I think I will have squirrel for dinner tomorrow. Too late to shoot, clean and get them in the crock pot today.
Once again Obama proves that he is missing yet another opportunity. He should be hiring not only for a personal assistant, but a personal assistant for his personal assistant, a personal assisitant for his personal assitant’s assitant, etc.
Just think of all the jobs created!!!!
/sarc
Westboro Baptist- led by disbarred lawyer and Democrat, Al Gore 1988 national delegate Fred Phelps…
Dang, recess is early today.
I suspect a presonal assistant czar will be needed as well.
Barry will need a personal assistant who has a firm grasp on the POTUS agenda. Is Lewinsky’s available?
Sorry, too late trying to get on our good side.
If Obama’s reported lover is leaving the White House, things must really be tough in there.
Maybe Barney Frank can give Obama some ‘support’ during this difficult time.
Any port in a storm, I guess. (pun intended)
Hope all is well with Hangfire……
He hasn’t posted for about 10 days.Anyone know anything?
Barney to Barry: “I got your back.”
I miss his humor…..
TOTUS is leaving the administration?
As a conservative I must say that while squirrel can be tasty, you just can’t beat a nice California Condor or a Northern Spoted Owl.
So you are the reason the dodo bird is gone? They were also very tasty I hear!
L
Especially with a nice snaildarter compote on the side.
Boris: We don’t need computer weapon to kill moose and squirrel. We’ve been trying to kill moose and squirrel for 35 years.
Natasha: And we’ve never even come close.
Boris: Exactly.
My great grandfather ate the last Passenger Pidgeon. Family tradition.
Nice choice.
Maybe Larry Sinclair should apply !
Happy,
Relative of yours?

He got Sanduskied by Barry maybe?
+1
Well it would explain his fascination with trains…
Soooo who’s taken care of business with MO, or is that a three way BO, MO, and Reggie?
Flyoverman #54, #57,
My little town straddles the Pigeon River, named after the flocks of 100s of thousands of carrier / passenger pigeons that would darken the skies, until they disappeared in the early 1900s.
Any Rocky Mtn man will tell you, mountain lion / cougar / puma, is the best tasting meat going ….. after eagle !
Dang! So that’s where I put it! I have to start writing sticky notes to myself.
Also forgot to add to the list that one has to be a Marxist and hate taxpayers.
I recommend Gilbert Gottfried for the job.
You and ilovemyoccupoopers are disgusting, buffoons.
Listen to Ed Mahmoud abu al-Kahoul…read Hillbuzz….

Of course this is a legitimate job with a defined job description that doesn’t require any real knowledge, experience, talent, or education. Who gives a damn, Harry Bailey, about who George Bush had as assistants…please, Obama has a lot in his background that NOBODY, especially his coat-carrying media, will divulge to the American public. Speaking of coat-carrying, you’re at the top of Obeyme’s list.
Back off of Doug Powers, who is one of the most skilled and humorous writers on any blog.
How do you know Harry if he has strayed or hasn’t strayed?
I personally don’t have any idea what to think of Obama’s personal life or his past. Why? Because it has been systematically and effectively covered up!! Somehow, his past has been erased. What’s up with that? In the meantime, we can only speculate based on appearances and actions. Maybe it would be better for him to open up a bit about his past. It must really be a horrible thing to have to cover up so totally and maybe even kill to protect. I want to find out who the heck that man really is!! I am 69 years old and may not be here when the sh#% hits the fan! Blast it all, I want to know!! I feel like it is really really bad.
Never heard of Larry Sinclair?
Let me just point out that Bill Clinton’s risky and blatant sexual predilections were known in tight circles around him, well before he ran for president. The media knew this, as did the state police who protected him as governor. Same with Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe. John Edwards’ affair too was on the blogs, and then the National Inquirer, long before they decided to stop protecting him. This kind of stuff is almost never exposed, and it never will be for Obama either. That does not mean it is not true.
I followed Larry Sinclair’s story for a long time on the blogs, well before it become sensationalized. Sinclair had an admitted troubled past, but his story, which started out in the blogs early as Obama emerged as a candidate, caught my attention because it fit Obama’s past patterns and narcissistic personality. Also, Sinclair was obscure, had no political motive, and was not trying to attack Obama at the time, he was simply on the blogs saying “hey I know this guy”.
Given the way Sinclair’s story emerged, it’s consistency, and it’s near perfect fit with Obama’s persona and dark obscure past, I gave it a high probability of being true. It also fit with another story of a “close friend” of Obama that was being covered up at the time – the murder of Donald Young, a homosexual choir director at Reverend Wright’s church. Another gay member of Wright’s church, Larry Bland was also murdered in that same time frame.
When Joe Biden’s son, then Delaware Attorney General, had Sinclair arrested in DC on trumped up charges, it was becoming clear that Sinclair was being threatened and marginalized. Sinclair had not realized the significance of guy he met up with in Chicago until later when Obama emerged on the national scene. So there was no connection to follow until then. His story could not be erased from the internet by that time, which probably kept him alive.
It is hardly a secret in Chicago that Obama and Emanuel were members of the same bath house. There is not so much on the web about this now that it is very hard to find the facts. I would say Sinclair’s story is legitimate but dig for yourself if you like.
There is a lot of sinister, bizarre and deeply troubling pieces of Obama’s past that have been completely obscured. The man’s whole life is a lie, a convenient fabrication.
http://www.larrysinclair.org/2011/11/08/did-attorney-gloria-allred-cain-accuser-sharon-bialek-use-sinclairs-obama-allegations-for-their-story-line/
Actually that is unimportant.
That is his business. I just want him to be gone so he can stop giving the country the shaft.
GreeneyedLady and Hairy,
Zilla of the Resistance mentioned Wright`s church as having a history of “hushed” marriages of gay black men to crabby black women ! Didn`t follow her link, I was disgusted enough at the time as it was !
Well, yeah, flyman, there’s that, too…
Since he is the Commander in Chief, I would like to know any and all information that would equate to that information required to do a background investigation to grant a clearance to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
That should do it.
Ok, please tell me his grades for both places.
Post the grades of both Columbia and Harvard.
Had an interesting experience when I was in South Africa last year. We met a couple from Kenya at the hotel, they were there for a business conference. They believe Obama was born in Kenya, and they said it was common knowledge. Doesn’t make it a fact, but it was interesting.
What do you know about the current Chief of Staff? Was he born in the US of A?
Of two parents who were born here as well?
And his name is……..? Hope his parents were both native-born lest his offspring be branded as less-than-us.
?
I don’t know, I just can’t picture God wearing a helmet when riding a 10 speed.
Chief of Staff ?
How is that relative AT ALL to this discussion ? No “Chief of Staff” can ascend to the Presidency of the USA. His birthplace is not an issue even IF it were relevant !
Obama`s records pertaining to HIS birth ARE relevant ! BUT, it doesn`t matter where the Liar in Chief, Obama was born because his father WAS born in Kenya. No one disputes that, SOOOO, Barack Hussein Obama is ineligible to be Pres. in the first place; it is not true that BOTH his parents were American citizens ….BHO CANNOT be a Natural Born Citizen !
I know that Deneral Dempsey has a valid security clearance for his position. He got that clearance and was selected for that position only because he voluntarily made available all relevant information needed on his past.
If can tell you this with certainty, if I was tasked with making a recommendation on granting Barack Obama a CONFIDENTIAL Clearance, which is something you would grant to a private, I could not make the recommendation, because the REQUIRED information on Obama is not available.
Between 2006 to present Obama has claimed verbally and in writing many things about his personal and professional past. Like ANY OTHER Presidential candidate, if he makes a claim about himself, the needed information to vet the accuracy of that claim needs to be made available.
If you say you are something and you seek the highest office in the country, then much of your privacy is necessarily sacrificed.

Bath houses served a real purpose until the invention of indoor plumbing, hot water heaters, and tubs in all homes. A hundred years ago most houses had an “outhouse” and no tub. Poorer parts of some Mexican cities are still this way–each area has a bath house run by an enterprising family. Real hot water and tub instead of the daily cold water “sponge” bath.
***
But in the early 1960′s when I first visited San Francisco–my friend told me that these places were serving a far different “clientele” than before. And to keep far away from them. They were more into “water sports” than into cleanliness!
***
Also–I seem to remember that the English (British) word for a personal assistant was a BATMAN. No capes or Robins needed. The guy took care of the rich man’s wardrobe and kept him looking clean and spiffy. And did errands for him.

If I did “get the gig”, I would get fired on the first day. Probably in the first hour.
Think “Coming to America.” The bath scene? Cleaning something?
Yep. That will also be one of the duties of this job. Females need not apply. Bambi likes it when a dude does it.
See Green Eyed Lady Post #72. She says it all. No sense repeating her excellent post.
Thank you.
Perhaps this Prius owner?

Okay, when she approached the open door of the truck, that was assault, and the guy in the truck should have struck. Literally. Fist to face.
This is an example of Obambi’s army. Time to hit them hard.
hemorrhoid sufferers need not apply.
Obama’s sexual gender preference is CLEARLY stated right there on the FRONT of his real birth certificate for EVERYONE to see. There!
It is for this very reason that I pack a skillet in my van. I would not have wasted the effort on that woman, however. I would have just got in the truck, shut the doors and let her rant on while I listened to some loud music. Ignoring these morons is really the only solution. Let them scream in the wind.
One additional thing: gun the engine. Give her some more diesel exhaust to gripe about.
When she starts beating on the truck, then hit her.
Not to mention that exposure to HAZMAT given all the BS that passes for “rhetorical brilliance” that this imposter spews.
Actually, it is a short trip from Prez!Stinky™*¹ to either homosexual or pederast: his own poem’s “amber stain”s paint the picture and his affirmation that that poem was was tribute to his time under the mentorship Ol’Frankie Marshall Davis, the self-admitted (and proud of it…) molester of young boys. Read Marshall Davis’s published works, he’s quite pathologically personalitied…
*¹: “Prez!Stinky™ is an Official Michelle Obama Approved™ nickname.
“…he’s [Barry's] too snore-y and stinky, … don’t want to ever get into bed with him.” Michelle Obama
