    Hillary Clinton? Robert Gates? Eric Holder? Rahm Emmanuel? Guess Chris Lu is the closest thing to "change" we're going to see...

    Barack Obama has announced his team members and staff, they are to be assigned on different departments, and help him build a good nation.
    Obama is currently busy with the transition process between what will be his administration and the soon to be previous administration. He is beginning to assemble his cabinet and staff, and like any other high level position in the government, the nominees for these jobs must be qualified, and judged to not be a threat in any way. Part of the qualification process is a 7 page application, posing 63 questions that are so invasive; he might as well throw in credit repair while he’s at it. The applicant screening questions ask things like everything the applicant as well as their spouse(s) have done in the past 10 years, any and all publications such as books, publications in journals, letters to editors, and anything posted on the internet, and any and all aliases used on the internet. Also, the applicant must reveal any and all information on any private website that they use, such as MySpace or Facebook, which they use in either personal or professional capacity, to rule out any and all conflicts of interest. The application and depth of information to be able to serve this new commander in chief is so intrusive, he might as well offer them free credit repair as a bonus for having to reveal everything on their application.

    Barack Obama is thorough because he is a Constitutional law expert and he knows his administration will be under the microscope for its duration. Barack Obama doesn't have money and influence to make a cocaine or drunk driving conviction go away. America is lucky to have Barack Obama. He will make us all proud to be Americans.
