What will the next President hear in THE BRIEFING?

At some point during his first day, I assume someone will sit the new President down and give him a briefing on things he and we never imagined.

Sort of like "Mr. President, the United States has been running a classified program out of Cheyenne Mountain where the US Air Force travels to other planets by use of an alien device known as the "Stargate".

Have fun.

"Mr President, your position is a sham. It's true! You're a puppet dictator. I'm sorry to have to tell you this. The world is ruled by one man, Jimmy Hendrix the pirate king, who sits upon his throne of virgins deep within Mount Rushmore."
 
Just because you become President of the United States doesn't mean you're entitled to know all the country's secrets. If you want to learn those, go work for the CIA.

Fixed that for you.
 
Your predecessor broke everything, sorry.

Bin Laden lives in Chicago and works at a gyros stand. Do you want us to go pick him up or will you still have a use for him as is?
 
Don't know, but watch for Obama's hair to turn from peppered gray into fully gray in the first year as he tries to sort through all the shit GWB has left us in.

Nah, but pickup some Gyros!
 
Elvis is still alive and he has a plan to balance the budget. He'll be here in 5 minutes, please put on this jumper.
 
Prolly a flurry of last minute bullshit executive orders and regulations. That's what Bush Jr. and Reagan got on their desks, 25k and 30k pages worth, respectively. Oh, and maybe we can have ANWR drilled by then.

Poppy was far too gracious to Slick Clinton. Payback time.
 
"Mr. President, this will come as a shock to you, but we're still technically under the rule of England. The populous must never know of this. She commands you, and the tradition is that the president must bed with the Queen on his first night. I've left you some adult toys by your bed. She's waiting."

Haha, we're driving at the same point. I've always wondered about the NSA. My step-dad worked for the CIA in the 1960s and told me that the only guys he had to yield to in the field were NSA operatives. Of course, the NSA claims they don't do any field work... but who knows.

The NSA does "field work," but it's not all that exciting in most cases. You should read "Body of Secrets." Interesting story about the birth and operation of the NSA including a piece about the USS Liberty.

Most of the work is still done by brilliant mathematicians and engineers sitting in boxes. This is true of the CIA as well where the vast majority of employees are sitting in cubicles.
 
W have made contact with aliens? We have a thought control device that we are using to contol world leaders? We have a cure for cancer, and now that you're President you're in the club? It was Nixon who killed Kennedy?
geez, where's conspiracy freak when you need one?
