    Hmmmm - wasn't there something that was brushed under the carpet about 4 or 5 years ago that had to do with cocaine, drugs, alcohol, sex in the office out in Colorado? Gee, guess that was Obama's fault.

    Grow up people, GSA hires republicans and democrats as civil service employees. Do you REALLY think a democrat would have made those home movies at this day and time? NO. But a republican might. Remember, it's no longe about the USA, it's about getting "that one" out of office.
