The Obama Dream Cabinet

Wednesday, November 05, 2008 | 0 Comments

SSB and I have already started to project a "Dream Cabinet" for Obama. Now, we began it as a serious endeavor, but then it just became way too fun to dream! So, forewarning, some of these picks are not so serious; you guess which ones.

Secretary of State:
Bill Clinton
He's fantastic at foreign policy, and he' s pretty good at affairs to ;)

Secretary of the Treasury:
Warren Buffet
He's got a lot of money. We think he knows something about making it.

Secretary of Defense:
Colin Powell
He has the temperament, knowledge of the military and experience with war to do this position justice.

Secretary of the Interior:
Al Gore
Who can get more people behind protecting our resources?

Secretary of Agriculture:
Willie Nelson
He does Farm Aid.

Secretary of Commerce:
Google guy
We can't remember his name. Sure we could Google it, but thought "Google guy" sounded better anyway. We think he knows a thing or two about building a business; from absolutely nothing to WORLD DOMINATION!!

Secretary of Transportation:
Norm Coleman
We figure we could take a moderate Republican or two out of the Senate to open up a couple of seats. They would have to be from Democratic states to help ensure that they would be replaced by Democrats/Independents. Besides, we think he did something with the light rail in St. Paul.

Secretary of Education:
Tommy Thompson
He did a great job funding alternative learning programs and helped make sure Wisconsin was tops in education in the country! Go Wisconsin!

Secretary of Health and Human Services:
C. Everett Coop, a.k.a "Admiral Muttonchops"
Along with his easily identifiable style, he actually knows a thing or two about health services!

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development:
Jimmy Carter
Habitat for Humanity!

Secretary of Homeland Security:
Dog the Bounty Hunter
His job is to hunt down fugitives.

Attorney General:
Patrick Fitzgerald
He has built his career on fighting corruption. He did a fine job in the Plame and Libby case -- and at times when it was still very dangerous to a person's career to go after people in the White House.

Secretary of Energy:
Roscoe G. Bartlett
He's a House Republican and owns a Prius!

Secretary of Veterans Affairs:
Max Cleland
... well, we were looking for a good Republican candidate for this position -- but we couldn't find one (except McCain 2000, who may, or may not still exist -- and we need him in the Senate anyway). All the ones that actually have helped veterans are Democrats.

Would we need to refer to "Dog" as "Secretary The Hunter?"

I've wondered what Duane is up to and have read his book. If anyone could capture OBL it;s "The Dog"!

Shannon, yes. I think it helps maintain a little crazy that we need to intimidate ill-willers.

Michael Manning, we certainly have the talent that we need right here in America -- it is just a matter of finding it and matching it up with the need.

Not so sure about Warren Buffet. I mean, he's all about drinking and the beach and having a good time and we really need somebody who will... oh wait. That's Jimmy Buffet. Nevermind.
