It makes me smile to think that he is realising his administration is such a train wreck he can't even get his strongest supporters to work in it.

I'm starting to think that maybe it's L'il 'O that shouldn't have taken the job and should have withdrawn HIS name.

OK, I lied...I didn't just "start" thinking that.
