This'n'That; November 6th[PEBO;Politics;Cabinet]

Let's Clear The Air On The Presidency In October, 1998, Toni Morrison, a Nobel Laureate, pronounced Bill "Slick Willie" Clinton the nation's First Black President!! In that New Yorker magazine article Ms Morrison said "Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness; single4-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald's-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas. The Congressional Black Caucus [CBC], as well as other Clinton supporters, adopted this opinion. Until the astute Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid undertake to introduce and pass a Congressional proclaimation, PEBO will have to settle for "number-two" status. Cabinet/Executive Branch Vacancies PEBO has quite a job ahead.... only a SMALL PART will be filling fifteen Cabinet positions as well as eight 'first-tier' positions in the Executive Branch. This is the bare minimum to install a functioning government. The Cabinet positions are: ***Secretary of State ***Secretary of the Treasury ***Secretary of Defense ***Attorney General ***Secretary of the Interior ***Secretary of Agriculture ***Secretary of Commerce ***Secretary of Labor ***Secretary of Health and Human Services ***Secretary of Housing and Urban Destruction ***Secretary of Transportation ***Secretary of Education ***Secretary of Veterans Affairs ***Secretary of Homeland Security The eight 'first-tier' Executive Branch positions are: ***White House Chief of Staff [BO choice: Rahm Emanuel; US Rep from Ill's 5th Congr District] ***Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency ***Director of the Office of Management and Budget ***Director of the National Drug Control Policy ***United States Trade Representative ***Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ***Commissioner of the Social Security Administration ***Director of National Intelligence Whew.........!! That's a lot of fresh, intelligent, compassion minds to come up with "on short notice!!" Many times in the past, presidents and other high officials have proposed new cabinet posts such as... >>Department of Public Welfare [by President Warren G. Harding] >>Department of Social Welfare [by President Franklin D. Roosevelt] >>Department of Community Development [by President Richard Nixon] >>Department of International Trade [by The Heritage Foundation] Quite possibly PEBO might want to broaden Cabinet level positions to more reflect the country he'll be governing: ^^Department of Religious Conversion [a possible nominee might be the Rev Jerimiah Wright] ^^Department of Socialism [this position would be more-than-adequately fill by Bill Ayers] ^^Department of Community Organization [how about Steve Kest, Executive Director-ACORN] PEBO has another, probably MORE IMPORTANT, decision to make. This decision HAS TO BE MADE prior to the official Inauguration Ceremony on January 20th, 2009. For official public assemblies where all administration members are expected to attend, the president-elect must select one cabinet member to be the "designated survivor." The selected individual is held at a secure, undisclosed, location in case the necessity arises that a new government must be formed. Here's were I was going to suggest the selection of biden to be the "designated survivor." NOTTA GOOD IDEA!! Just imagine the calamity if he became President!! His usual gaffs would take on international implicatons.... offending everyone on the planet!! His dismal statistics on foreign policy decisions..... a reported 95% failure rating!! Til Nex'time...........
