The boss is hard to get along with. But if I try to talk to him about problems I have at work he might have a little heart. Even a hunter can't kill a bird who flies to him for protection.

As the date didn't work for the section chief, it was necessary to completely reorganize the drinking party.

We'll have to organize the drinking party all over again as the section chief can't make it now.

To my chief strategist, David Axelrod, who's been a partner with me every step of the way. To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics! You made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

O.K. chief. It's gonna cost you two century notes.
