Does Obama get a cabinet anymore?
Our President seems to have a hard time finding people who pay their taxes and don’t have shady land deals to fill his cabinet and Czar positions these days. For a guy who is totally above the fray of politics as usual, and who is a transformative force of good in the Universe (copywright Al Gore), there sure are huge skeletons in the closet of EVERYONE around him.
Even Hillary Clinton, one of the confirmed, is dirty as all hell, as we were reminded before she decided to assimilate with our glorious shepherd caliph.
So, to recap. We’re two weeks into the Obama era, this gilded age of perfection and recovery from the damnable Bush, and nothing has passed into law yet (normal), the cabinet isn’t close to full (abnormal), and the only move he’s actually made is a faux-promise to close Guantanamo Bay in a year…ish. Maybe. The economy hasn’t reawoken, the sea-level is largely unchanged, and terrorists still want to kill us and Israel. Seems like Jan 19 2009, doesn’t it? Damn you, Groundhog Day!
He’s surely got a bit of time before any anger can be generated about this, but in the meantime, its hilarious and mildly embarrassing to watch our President struggle to find any decent people around him to help him run the ship. What would be stranger, if Obama doesn’t actually know anyone who pays their taxes properly, or if I’m the minority who does?
IRONIC: Democrats want to raise taxes. No one in the party leadership seems to pay them. Discuss.
