No one seems to talk about the fact that it is not just a president we are electing
Edited on Tue Apr-29-08 07:12 PM by Maraya1969
we are electing a whole corporation with executives and consultants and other behind the scenes people. George Bush is a great big clusterfuck but I think much of his clusterfuckness comes from the wizards behind the curtain. I'd love to get a list going of who is following McCain and who is following Obama.

I am not saying we should ask who would want to be a member of Obama's staff, just the ones that could potentially be and juxtapose that with who would be a potential member of mcCain's staff.


Like Bush will be a supporter and maybe an adviser to McCain.
Dick Cheney """""""""


I'd like to see who people believe McCain would chose as the heads of various government agencies. Like is he going to, (of course he is) pick someone like "Brownie" to head of the FEDERAL EMERGENCY DISASTER AGENCY! Who is McCain going to pick to handle disasters in this country. It doesn't matter if you pick up the damn phone at 3am it matters who you have chosen to lead the proper agencies.

A great organization is ORGANIZED and uses the very best employees it can find.

And then I'd love to see who people think Obama would chose as, say the Environmental Protection agency.

(I am inordinately dopey a and sleepy lately because of a medication I have to take for a while. So I am asking for people to pass on the job of figuring out and offer their respective educated guess as to who will be behind McCain and who will be behind Obama.)

1. You are right and it would be interesting to know all but they still may be in the works
on these type of topics. Most officials will not take Obama seriously until he is in office and only then will they think of perhaps accepting offers from him.

2. I meant OUR guesses. I guess I was not clear enough. I've edited it though.

3. Yes
A well chosen VP will really sway the current General Election polling numbers. Obama has shown that he has the leadership to choose and manage an excellent team. I have no doubt he will assemble a "dream-team" Cabinet.
