I guess these folks have to have jobs after they leave the White House, but I cannot imagine what it must be like moving from the most important office on the planet to doing something like shilling for hamburgers.
I'm also not entirely sure what a guy like Gibbs brings to McDonald's aside from a little star power in his field. You'd think they'd be better off hiring cooks and chefs who could do something about making the food taste like, well, food.
