OBAMA!!!


I've been fairly quiet about politics lately, but tonight I just need to express my over-the-moon excitedness that right now, as I write, Barak Obama is claiming the Democratic nomination for President of the United States!!! I am so happy I could cry!!!

And as Jae and I sit here listening to his heart-swelling speech and the crowd roar and cheer, we thought it might be fun to share with you the Obama Administration Dream Team we've been cooking up, half-seriously and half-tongue-in-cheek.

There are still positions open and others to add... Any suggestions?

And surely YOU have better/funner ideas than some of these... Do share!!

Imagine:

Vice President: Michael Bloomberg

Press Secretary: Brian Lehrer or Allison Janney

Secretary of State: Bill Richardson

Secretary of Defense: Colin Powell

Secretary of Energy: Dennis Kucinich

Sec. of the Interior: Bobby Kennedy, Jr.

Sec. of Agriculture: Alice Waters

Attorney General:

Sec. of Commerce:

Sec. of Labor: Michael Moore

Sec. of Education:

Sec. of Transportation: Someone who bikes to work

Sec. of Heath & Human Services: John Edwards

Sec. of Treasury:

Sec. of Veteran's Affairs: John McCain

Sec. of Homeland Security:

Sec. of Housing & Urban Development:

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.: Oprah Winfrey

U.S. Ambassador to France: Moi!

Supreme Court Justice (when one needs to be replaced): Hillary Clinton

FED Chairman:

White House Interior Designer:

White House Head Chef: there would be a reality TV show to determine this one

Michelle's Wardrobe: Carolina Herrera

Barak's Wardrobe: custom Paul Smith

What else...?

Well, I hope we get to see!!!! Remember to VOTE in November no matter what!!

Woo hoo!!!
