[PotUS] The First Day At School
Blank Keating
Everyone in this here administration has been working hard for you. We're getting worn into our new shoes, meeting new friends and taking on new challenges. But that's not why I'm talking to you. I'm talking to you because it's time to eat breakfast, and the right way to start off the day is with a hearty bowl of transparency.
(Not really, you should eat something solid.)
You may have noticed we've gone to war. Not just any war, but war with one of our most bitter rivals, Indonesia. Indonesia has one of the smallest holdings on North America since Hungary used them as a war path to China, so we're attempting to push them off our glorious continent once and for all.
In more recent developments, Poland has wounded our bros to the north and has declared us an enemy to get past Alaska and into our friends in Russia and China. Alaska should be the only point of contention between us and Poland, but if they do attack our holdings in the midwest in the future, they will have to be stopped at all costs. Make sure you're paying attention to the DoD orders or NBS to be sure your damage is helping the cause.
And now, a heart to heart. My cabinet is 98% complete, only a couple spots left. I'm confident with all of my secretaries' and my own choices, and we are past most of the staffing issues and onto actually pushing forward. There has been one point of contention I can think of, the addition of Pfeiffer to my lengthy roster, which has been a dream come true for a lot of drama fans.
I'd really like to clarify that this was not a kickback or a political or friend based appointment as some have rushed to j'accuse. Pfeiffer is a dick. However, he is also a hard worker and commits himself when he enjoys the task he has. He applied and expressed his interest for the position, and I let him do it. I would've considered anyone else in the same fashion. I'm not asking you to like him. I'm asking you to trust my judgement, or at the very least, not care.
In other news, something we can all agree on, Pizza the Hut is not part of my cabinet and will never be part of my cabinet. Go laugh at him.
The Department of Media has started off explosively. I'm serious, gnilraps has really gone above and beyond. The latest White House Press Release makes up for about a dozen that were missed before. You must vote this stuff. Read it all the way through for awesome points. The DoM has also been on the dime with updating the National Broadcast System. If you haven't seen either of these things, you need to right now: here, and here.
The Department of the Interior is rolling along as well. Meals on Wheels, eUS Mentors, Community Development Program, bewbs4newbs, Evac and NASA are all rolling and helping America's troubled youth hold Hungarian flag bonfires and steal food crates from double Spaniard camps. If you're interested in joining this fold, talk to my VP, Marxus, who's been tasked with reviving the Intern program.
Until next time,

I doin' work.
Looks like eUS is in good hands. Good job on Pizza.
very straight forward. keep up.
Okay, fine, I applied for a Cabinet position.
P.S. Can I be under Fionia? 😉
stinking elitists. looking forward to an entertaining month
Sounds like we have the right man in the driver's seat.
Can I be on top of Fionia?
BK all the way.

"I'm asking you to trust my judgement, or at the very least, not care."
I like you Blank and I really wish you luck, but did you seriously just ask the country to "not care" who you put into positions of power and authority in our government?
*shakes her head sadly*
😁 This. What she said.
@Bia: I'm pretty sure that the 'not caring' thing was fairly tongue in cheek humor on BK's part xD
I see no humor in any of that paragraph. I was hoping I was reading it wrong...but no I don't seem to be.
I'm havin' it my way @ BK
I'm havin' it my way @ BK x2
So, what job did you give Pfeiffer? He is not yet on your roster.
@Seeker1: CIA
Wow. That is your explanation for letting Henry Arundel into one of the most sensitive seats in the eUS?
Not a kickback. I guess you are awesome at transparency, because everyone sees through that. Have fun in your term, suddenly I am not envisioning a second for you.
@JJ: He's an asshole, not an enemy. Who cares how sensitive it is? CIA has no domestic control. If anything, you should be thanking me for getting him off the JCS' ass and onto something constructive.
Doesnt a Polish attack on Washington make more sense? Then they can move through Japan, as opposed to Serbian occupied Far Eastern Russia...
Thank you Blank Keating.
BK CANNOT into more votes than PTH.

ate rice and of course didn't read zaaaa 😃
Yeh, yeh, yeh...
Enjoy while you can.
We gonna impeach you
In Blank we trust
So NX and I are forming a Fionia Sandwich then.
Voted
BK: He shouldn't be on the JCS's ass anymore anyway, he holds no position to do so.
The CIA has plenty of control, and furthermore, the more you continue to downplay it, the more it becomes obvious that this was in fact a kickback position, because Pfeiffer was crying too much about being left out. Look, fact of the matter is you made a mistake. Own it.
People do care about this appointment, not because it is the CIA, but because this country doesn't want Pfeiffer representing it in any way shape or form. You didn't catch the clue when he lost three CP races in a row?
Dear Mr. President;
I noticed a pattern above. I will not patronize you by spelling it out but I will give you a hint.
A particular segment of the population, frequently denoted by a certain Avatar border, are bitter, just hatin' and can be safely ignored. Nothing you can say will be interpreted as humor, no cabinet will be good enough and anything less than tarring and feathering the driving force behind the UltraMarines (a.k.a. JCS Chickens Coming Home to Roost Club) will be satisfactory.
LOOK THE FACT IS YOU INCLUDED A GUY WHO HAS BEEN WORKING IN GOVERNMENT SINCE, LIKE, FOREVER AND BECAUSE GLOVE AND EMERICK, WHOM WE ALSO DO NOT LIKE, RAN CAMPAIGNS TO TEASE HIM WE PRESUME THIS MEANS THAT EVERYONE IN AMERICA DOES NOT WANT HIM ANYWHERE IN GOVERNMENT EVER EVEN THOUGH THERE ISN'T ANY PARTICULAR REASONING BEHIND THIS. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A MISTAKE AND A KICKBACK TO THE LIZARD-PEOPLE HE REPRESENTS AND YOU BOUGHT OFF WITH THIS PLACEMENT. ALSO; WE AREN'T JUST PISSED TECHNICIAN DIDN'T GET ELECTED SO DON'T THINK THAT.
o/
The *fact* is that people don't want Pfeiffer representing them *as President of the United States*.
Anything you say beyond that is pretty blatantly your own interpretation.
trufax
Nicholas:
Total bullshit, and you know it.
But then again, you aren't exactly bright, I will wait for you to catch up with the way others think in this country. Just because you choose to kiss Pfeiffer ass doesn't mean others think like you do. He has continuously shown that he cares little for this country, and more for his resume.
