I just wanted a hot dog Took some time off to enjoy the pool

I had taken this week off work and expected to be able to enjoy the pool. The lease says we are to pay $150/month for weekly pool cleaning services but they didn’t come out this week and barely cleaned last week. Come to find out the landlord is “in between pool cleaners” and didn’t tell us.

Did you know the Obama administration oversaw a massive overhaul of the reflecting pool at the time? No, nobody did because they didn't make a big fuckin' deal about it.

More like no one knew because they didn't completely fuck it up

Trump was making a huge deal about the pool long before it ended up being a fucking swamp.

They didn’t make a big deal about because it wasn’t an embarrassing public display of incompetence with a side of blatant corruption. If Obama had messed up his overhaul even half as much as trump has you would have definitely heard about it. But I do remember hearing about Obama’s tan suit and his taste for Dijon mustard.

That and they didn't stupidly paint over the natural granite with an ugly swimming pool blue.

I don’t remember the pool getting fucked up in Obama’s administration.

Yes. But Trump was also bragging to everyone with a camera and microphone how amazing the pool was going to be for months before it turned into a laughing stock.
