Laughing is not the same as beefing up your resume

Calculating your career is an entirely different thing from your personality. I'm fine with someone calulating your career; and I understand that to win in politics, you have to calculate your personality. But you can't come off as phoney, which she TOTALLY does far too often. The laugh feels phoney, and it makes me think of her as a phoney.

Original article: The president is not amused

Did you see?

He thought it was funny at parts. The interesting thing is that when the host leaned over to talk to the President, he clearly said "...I'm sorry." to which the President replied, "It's okay". I got the impression that the host said something along the lines of, "I didn't expect his routine to be like this. I'm sorry."
