AMERICA SHOCKED AS OBAMA PICKS CABINET MEMBERS WHO ARE ACTUALLY QUALIFIED
By R J Shulman
WASHINGTON – (PTSD News) – His cabinet not yet complete, yet President Elect Barack Obama is already feeling the heat for making the choices he has. “Our research shows that the American people can't handle government officials who actually know what they are doing,” said Randall Wargo of the Rand Institute.

“Obama is making a terrible mistake,” said Wade Carlisle of the Heritage Foundation. “Everybody knows you pick cabinet members for two reasons. One is to pay back a political supporter and the other is to get someone to further dismantle the government. The best thing is to get someone so unqualified that their department just disintegrates by itself.” So far, Obama has defied conventional wisdom by choosing two highly qualified former rivals, Senator Hillary Clinton and Governor Bill Richardson for his cabinet. In addition, he has kept Republican Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense.

“Obama apparently is keeping his word about change,” said one Washington insider, “this town won’t be the same without no-bid contracts, sweetheart deals, and having industry hacks destroy the agencies that are supposed to regulate them.”

“If people find out that government can actually function,” said Wargo, “they may get so upset, we could have a revolution on our hands.”
