Welcome Aboard!


President-elect B.H. Obama, wasting no time in the face of the economic crisis, today selected as his new Secretary of the Treasury, the genial Bob Cratchit.

Rather than choosing someone who is good at handling money, the President-Elect said he "went with my heart on this one" and chose someone from the ranks of the common folk, his primary political base.

"I thought it was more important to send a message, to the people who voted for me, and to the misguided right, as well as to the rest of the world, both friends and foe alike, all of whom I will soon be speaking with on a personal one-on-one basis, just to get to know their special interests, that my administration will be a grass-roots operation from the top down, or the bottom up, just as I promised; or if I didn't promise that, it could be assumed by one and all that is surely what I meant."

Mr. Obama went on to say (we think) that he decided against choosing a person with banking experience, or even executive experience, because those kinds of people have often failed us in the past, and mostly are Republicans anyway.

The returned clothes fund of Sara Palin will be used to outfit Mr. Cratchit.

Good luck Bob Cratchit, and to all the assorted little Cratchits!

@Sarge Charlie - Of course it's good. I am having Jimmy Carter flashbacks. But wait until I have published all 12 of the cabinet posts. Or however many there are. You ain't seen nothin' yet. I'm just getting warmed up. :)

Empress Bee, how dare you be critical of the Chosen One's chosen one! Biden is our leader, let's show some damn respect around here! Heh.

It doesn't really matter who he chooses. We have no say in who he hires to have sex with us. Who knows, maybe we will get a kiss.
