Obama’s new cabinet

With the news of Tim Geithner getting the green light as Obama’s Treasury Secretary, even though he’s all, “D’uh…what’s this thing called the IRS, and why do I have to pay them all this stuff called ‘taxes’??”, plus the recent hubbub surrounding Health and Human Services Secretary-designate Tom Daschle’s troubles, it’s all enough to make me chuckle.

I mean, who cares if the guy in charge of the country’s finances is a little lazy with taxes?”

Who needs a secretary of defense with no military leadership experience?  Isn’t it good enough if say, he or she has been a champ at Milton Bradley’s “Battleship” since they were eleven, and spends their weekends playing paintball tournaments?

And come on…does it really matter if the attorney general doesn’t have a license to practice law?

I say, “What the heck! Go crazy!”

I know most of President Obama’s cabinet is set for his administration, but in case he decides to re-consider his selections.  Since he’s obviously got some issues with judgment of character, I have a few recommendations for cabinet secretaries as well as some special advisory positions…all based on experience, of course! Enjoy!
