Well I at least was not kidding, exaggerating or overreacting. We really do have cats!

I think he's referring to percieved overreaction to this event, even when in jest. M.O. most likely intended her statement to be a compliment to her staff, and/or a joke. Obviously, she is not so naive as to think that everyone can obtain a staff. Nobody is that stupid.

Of course, I am just guessing because Enigma rarely makes any kind of clear point. Evidently conservatives are so far beneath him that their opinions do not warrant his consideration or comment. It's a pity that the rest of us are too biased or ignorant to understand his opinions, otherwise he might take the time.

What I think he fails to understand is the objection to government officials(especially democratic ones, being "for the people" and all) being treated like royalty. But I really wouldn't know. All I have to go on is his occasional one-liners, and one post where he responded with an actual opinion because I accused him of the same thing he is doing now.
Best summary of Enigma. Ever.

He does tend to treat those of views alternative to his as below him, yet he never seems to have anything substantive to say in rebuttal.

It would seem he's gotten things backwards...

It goes with the position.
All the perks don't compare to losing your privacy forever.....

Hail to the Chief and all that, but wouldn't trade places with them!

Where you made your mistake is in the statement

Quote:
The cats are our support staff.
As everyone who has a cat knows: Cats are not support staffs, cats HAVE support staffs.

Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

The job I want is Vice President. What a job.

Alarm clock rings

You pick up the phone and call the White House Physician

"Is he still alive?... he is, that's great"

Go back to sleep.

That's the job for me. When was the last time a Vice President was assassinated?
