You may have heard that President-elect Barack O’Boyfriend has offered the position of Chief of Staff to Illinois Representative Rahm Emanuel.
But are you familiar with the duties of the Chief of Staff?
First of all, you are the Chief. Of the Staff.
You oversee and coordinate the actions of all the other White House staff members, and you manage the President’s schedule, and you decide who can meet with the President.
We Interrupt This Post For A Fun-Filled Fact: the Chief of Staff position used to be called The Secretary to the President.
Bossy knows that Chicago-born Rahm is a perfectly fine choice for Chief of Staff as Rahms go—but Bossy would like to toss her hat in the ring, because she is decent at overseeing and coordinating and managing and deciding—and she is excellent at whispering.
vuboq says
November 6, 2008 at 11:15 ambossy would be the best Chief of Staff EVER! and, if Barack Obama doesn’t choose you, maybe you could be my Chief of Staff? Not that I have Staff, but, whatever …
ruthwells says
November 6, 2008 at 11:17 amBut won’t your husband John Cusack be jealous of the whispering?
corrie says
November 6, 2008 at 11:18 amBossy has really shown me how sexy our President-elect can be! Good luck with your appointment! (this wouldn’t be like an intern, right?)
kristin says
November 6, 2008 at 11:20 amI’d vote for you. If it was an elected position, that is. And if it WAS, and I DID, you’d arrange for me to meet with the President, right? Because politics is all about the quid pro quo . . .
Cat says
November 6, 2008 at 11:22 amBut could Bossy blog and be chief of staff at the same time?
Tuli says
November 6, 2008 at 11:30 amOh, the juicy bloggy bits Bossy could gather if she were Chief of Staff. AND AND AND!!!!
Stella would get to lounge in the Oval Office. HOW FRIGGIN’ COOL WOULD THAT BE?!?
Jujupiter says
November 6, 2008 at 11:31 am@Cat You’re talking about Bossy here. She can do EVERYTHING.
ms. changes pants while driving says
November 6, 2008 at 11:36 amheh.
PunditMom says
November 6, 2008 at 11:43 amYou can have Obama OR John Cusack, but not both!
Jeri says
November 6, 2008 at 11:55 amYeah, I think you’d better watch it. Mr. Cusack won’t be very happy if you replace your picture of him, with the one with your new o’boyfriend.
Watch it missy
jp says
November 6, 2008 at 11:56 amMe thinks Bossy is 2 timing John w/ that Hat!
(that Barbie secretary picture cracked me up! have you saved all your old Barbies?!?!?)
Nancy says
November 6, 2008 at 12:02 pmall hail the chef … errr, chief!
Peggy says
November 6, 2008 at 12:05 pmThe Hat..It says it all.
Amber Lee says
November 6, 2008 at 12:25 pmWell if you’re going to be chief of staff, than you can’t be the puppy. Therefore, I’m going to apply for puppy position.
Tootsie Farklepants says
November 6, 2008 at 12:27 pmAnd Tootsie thinks the movie that is eventually made will star Will Smith and Robert Downey Jr.
steph says
November 6, 2008 at 12:29 pmOh, the beret
Mr Farty says
November 6, 2008 at 12:44 pmStella would make a great guard-horse for Bossy’s o’boyfriend!
Lisa says
November 6, 2008 at 12:55 pmOhhhh.. Michelle gonna beat your assss! This looks like its going by the way of Tug and Bossy. Close your mouth…sheesh.
Jenn @ Juggling Life says
November 6, 2008 at 12:57 pmSo you want him to be Barack O’Boss instead of Barack O’Boyfriend?
annie says
November 6, 2008 at 12:59 pmRahm Emanuel? What a cool name!
(and more tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth from the right-wing, which causes me endless amusement.)
JK says
November 6, 2008 at 1:08 pmBossy, what do you mean by “sort of ?”
Lesley says
November 6, 2008 at 1:12 pmPlus? You are named “Bossy” and this alone implies how good you would be a chief-of-staffing.
Lesley says
November 6, 2008 at 1:14 pmAnd you would also be good AT chief-of-staffing. You know, or, whatever.
Windy says
November 6, 2008 at 1:18 pmBossy is the obvious choice. And Tootsie is right. Rahm looks like Robert Downey Jr. Either way, this the best looking White House ever!
Reeb says
November 6, 2008 at 1:20 pmI like the go-to-work Barbie too.
Look how her eyes are slanted to the right: nobody’s pulling any wool over her eyes. Well, except for that extraodinarily shiny golden plastic that goes for hair on her.
Thanks for photo and how to spell Rahm Emanuel’s name. Was wondering what he looks like. Bossy, you’re my window into current events. Not sure how I feel about that admission.
Sewmouse says
November 6, 2008 at 1:27 pmBah – Bossy doesn’t want a White House position. Look what it does to people! Enjoy my former senator’s lovely black hair for now, because 4 years from now it’ll be snow-white. The place really ages people disproportionately.
And Bossy’s pretty hair should NOT be all grey and not pretty!
Avitable says
November 6, 2008 at 1:46 pmI don’t know – the Chief of Staff has to be mean sometimes, too, and I just can’t see you being mean.
kj says
November 6, 2008 at 2:16 pmMy husband calls me “Chief”. Can I have the job? No? Ok, I’ll just keep my old job. Probably less stress.
Heather says
November 6, 2008 at 2:17 pmHey G – Emanuel took the job! YESSS!
rebekah says
November 6, 2008 at 2:25 pmOne little tip: change your name from Bossy McBosserson to Bosserala Tamomashanter. THEN apply.
Tip 2: Even if your hairs go grey, the hat will make them look COOL!
Chris says
November 6, 2008 at 2:40 pmBossy would be a great chief of staff!
Liz says
November 6, 2008 at 4:31 pmHahahaha. I am going to have to subscribe to your blog. Hilarious!

The Cheap Chick says
November 6, 2008 at 4:40 pmIt does sound like the best job ever – with the whispering, and the ordering about, and the direct access to the President. I’d wield that power like a sledgehammer.
Rhi says
November 6, 2008 at 4:47 pmI have a pretty good chance of getting named to his cabinet. I have a weird name. I’m SO IN.
so NOT cool says
November 6, 2008 at 4:51 pmSome days … I just need a laugh, and this provided it. Thank you.
Bush Babe says
November 6, 2008 at 5:14 pmOh, too funny honey!! You look WAY too pally with the Senator… his first scandal!! Heh.
And was that Chief photo from F-Troop?? I loved that show… one of my first taste’s of American TV!

Andrea's Sweet Life says
November 6, 2008 at 5:20 pmMm mm mm, indeed.
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
November 6, 2008 at 5:24 pmGo ahead and let Rahm have the Chief of Staff position – that sounds like too much work. Bossy’s title can be Chief of Stiff.
Actually, that sounds like hard work too.

I think we have a previous winner
Momish says
November 6, 2008 at 5:35 pmBeing an excellent whisperer makes you qualified beyond measure. After all, just by wearing that baret, you actually have more foreign experience than Palin and everyone thought she was qualified to be Vice President.
David says
November 6, 2008 at 6:10 pmI don’t think O’Boyfriend is filling his cabinet with odd names so much as he is filling his cabinet with equally attractive guys. I mean hellooo silver fox.
pamela from the dayton time says
November 6, 2008 at 7:12 pmWhat a good looking bunch these white house peeps are shaping up to be!
Amanda says
November 6, 2008 at 7:24 pmSince you will get to decide who meets Mr. President, I will ask you now. Can I meet with Barack O’Boyfriend simply to thank him? (I warn you I might drool on the carpet a bit)
Shayera says
November 6, 2008 at 7:54 pmDid you know that the character of Josh Lyman on The West Wing was based on Rahm?
And that the character Matt Santos was based on Barack O’Boyfriend?
tracy says
November 6, 2008 at 8:20 pmJohn Cusak’s gonna be pissed!!!
Melanie @ MelADramatic Mommy says
November 6, 2008 at 11:25 pmMy dad is ex-Secret Service. We can be on the Bossy security detail. I’d run next to a limo for you any day No promises on taking a bullet though.
boots586 says
November 7, 2008 at 12:51 amRahm is known in our Chicago area for his potty mouth. Does Bossy have a potty mouth too?
rosie says
November 7, 2008 at 4:41 amthat job is already taken…by me… I can whisper…even though I am foreign…I wouldnt divulge state secrets…honest
Ellie says
November 7, 2008 at 10:14 amHe’s crazy not to ask you. Crazy.
Alpaca Farmgirl says
November 7, 2008 at 12:07 pmWhy am I seeing Bossy walking down the street, throwing her beret up in the air, Mary Tyler Moore style?
kate says
November 7, 2008 at 3:14 pmthat photo? at the end? is it blown up to 3 feet x 5 feet and framed and hanging over your bed?
Say What? says
November 7, 2008 at 8:08 pmWhen Bossy becomes Chief of Staff, I would like to be Chef of the White House. I have a Culinary Degree and I checked out the kitchen a few years ago when my Cousin’s now-ex-husband was providing security for the then President. Oh, and Bossy this is important: I got an ‘A’ in mixology so I can make drinks for you!!
Ree (the other one) says
November 8, 2008 at 3:54 pmBossy and Barack may a lovely couple, too.
zenmomma says
November 8, 2008 at 5:40 pmMaybe if you change your name to something a little less pronounceable? Something with an international/ethnic feel to it.
Just Jamie says
November 9, 2008 at 2:06 amBossy Obama.
It has a certain ring.
Georgia Obama.
It has a certain ring.
Just Jamie Obama.
Ding-ding-ding!
Nina Rubin says
November 9, 2008 at 11:31 amHow’s this for pathetic? I’m such a ridiculous political groupie in withdrawal that I watched a 2 hour roast of Rahm Emanuel on C-Span Friday night. It was a 2005 fundraiser organized by David Axelrod’s wife Susan for their epilepsy research foundation. Your Barack Oboyfriend was one of the roasters and he was hilarious and i was in thrall. Love Rahm. Totally jealous of his Episcopalian wife.
