Cabinet Of The Crooked

Obots have made an art form out of ignoring Barack the Obamessiah's questionable associations.  There's no point in talking to them about it anymore because they've drunk the Kool-Aid and ceased thinking.  As such, this post is not for Obots, but for the logical, thinking, intelligent people that inhabit the real world and are still considering the two presidential candidates based on issues, judgment, and character.

Like everyone, Barack Obama has had many mentors, advisers, and associates who have helped shape his belief system and world view throughout his life.  Where Obama departs from most Americans is that his mentors, advisers, and associates are frequently those on the farthest radical fringes of society, with backgrounds that range from questionable to criminal.  Let's just imagine if Obama made his Cabinet appointments primarily from this group of people...

First, let's review the basics of the President's Cabinet.  What are the positions, and for what is each responsible?

Secretary of State - the head of the United States Department of State, concerned with foreign affairs.
Secretary of the Treasury - the head of the United States Department of the Treasury, concerned with finance and monetary matters.
Secretary of Defense - the head of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), concerned with the armed services and military matters.
Attorney General - the head of the United States Department of Justice, concerned with legal affairs and is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States government.
Secretary of the Interior - the head of the United States Department of the Interior, oversees such agencies as the Bureau of Land Management, the United States Geological Survey, and the National Park Service.
Secretary of Agriculture - the head of the United States Department of Agriculture.
Secretary of Commerce - the head of the United States Department of Commerce concerned with business and industry.
Secretary of Labor - the head of the Department of Labor who exercises control over the department and enforces and suggests laws involving unions, the workplace and all other issues involving any form of business-person controversies.
Secretary of Health and Human Services - the head of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, concerned with health matters.
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development - the head of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, concerned with urban housing matters.
Secretary of Transportation - the head of the United States Department of Transportation.
Secretary of Energy - the head of the United States Department of Energy ... was originally developed to focus on energy production and regulation ... development of technology for better, more efficient energy sources.
Secretary of Education - the head of the Department of Education.
Secretary of Veteran's Affairs - the head of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the department concerned with veterans' benefits and related matters.
Secretary of Homeland Security - the head of the United States Department of Homeland Security, the body concerned with protecting the American homeland and the safety of American citizens.

Now, let's make some fictional appointments from real people in Obama's personal circle.  President Obama's Cabinet of the Crooked might look something like this...

Secretary of State: Rashid Khalidi.  He's a professor at Columbia University, a friend of Obama's and a fiery Palestinian anti-Semite who is a terrorist sympathizer, he openly advocates violence against Israelis.  He'd be the perfect person to represent Obam...I mean, America's interests abroad.  If Khalidi is too busy making appearances on Al-Jazeera, an alternate choice would be Robert Malley, a former Obama adviser who has a long-standing relationship with Hamas.
Secretary of the Treasury: George Soros would be an ideal candidate to lead the Treasury.  This multi-billionaire single-handedly devalued the British pound in the 90s through his incredible skill as a currency speculator.  He's an avowed America hater who funds a myriad of 527 groups and others who support Obama and far Left causes...but that shouldn't be a big deal.  Don't ask why, just trust us.
Secretary of Defense: Samantha Power would be a great choice here.  She was fired from Obama's campaign for calling Hillary Clinton a 'monster' during the Democrat primary, but could now be tapped for her plan to shift resources from defensive aid for Israel to a weapons build-up for Palestine.
Attorney General: This post should go to Jesse Jackson, a man with
a finely tuned sense of justice.  From his extensive experience with racial shakedowns and sex scandals, Jackson would be an ideal fit for the chief legal authority of the U.S.  As a bonus, Jackson could do some policy advising - he recently suggested that Obama would end Israel's dominance of our foreign policy, and also said that a black President wouldn't end the racial strife in this country.
Secretary of the Interior: This post would be rolled into the White House's duties.  It would be Obama's job to allocate land to whomever he thought deserved it.  You know, spreading the wealth around...in the interest of fairness.
Secretary of Agriculture: We're pretty sure that most farmers are white, so there is clearly a vicious racial component to this industry.  As such, Obama could tap Rev. Michael Pfleger, a flaming racist pastor from Chicago to head this department.  Over the course of almost 20 years, he helped Obama keep his 'moral compass' steady. 
Though he is white himself, we know he'll stand up for non-white farmers because he ripped Hillary Clinton as being a racist.
Secretary of Commerce: Frank Marshall Davis.  One of Obama's childhood mentors (Obama mentioned him in his own book as a friend and adviser during his formative years), he is a member of the Communist Party USA, so he would do a great job of 'spreading around' the wealth from business and industry.
Secretary of Labor: Saul Alinsky could work pretty well here.  He was one of those 1960's radicals who devoted himself to Marxism, even writing a handbook on how to use an gullible public to overthrow the government.  As such, his knowledge of how to manipulate the populace would come in handy.  This would be an honorary appointment, of course, since he's dead, but have no fear because the Obamessiah himself will bless the nation with millions of new jobs simply by speaking them into existence.  Also, Alinsky's son recently said that Obama learned his father's lessons well, so we're in good hands.
Secretary of Health and Human Services: Cecile Richards, the President of Planned Parenthood, would be a natural fit here.  Though perhaps not a direct associate, she has to love Obama's 100% consistent record on abortion, even to the point of opposing a ban on partial birth abortion and opposing a bill to ban infanticide that even NARAL supported.
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Tony Rezko is an ideal fit for HUD.  This Chicago
slum lord...I mean, real estate developer is now in federal prison for convictions involving fraud, shady fundraising, and real estate deals, and he's the one who sold Obama his house below market cost.  With a quick Presidential pardon, he could be out of jail and on the job immediately.
Secretary of Transportation: Need to know how to get around?  How about we tap Maude Hurd, the President of ACORN.  We know Obama and ACORN go way back, so it's another great fit.  Besides, this community organizing group really knows how to mobilize people through busing campaigns, free taxi rides, and cigarette bribes.  Never mind the fact that they're under investigation for election fraud in 12-15 states - with Jesse Jackson as Attorney General, any chances of real prosecution are nil.
Secretary of Energy: Carl Pope, the Executive Director of the Sierra Club, knows about energy.  Under his superb guidance, the Sierra Club and other 'green' groups have prevented almost all meaningful attempts to increase energy production in the United States for years.  One example that we really felt recently was at the gas pump - we were forced to import oil from hostile nations that attack our national security regularly because we can't drill much domestically.  While Pope is not a direct associate of Obama's, he is surely a kindred spirit that Obama would welcome on board.
Secretary of Education: Mike Klonsky would fill this role to a tee.  He is a leader of the New Communist Movement and a long-time Maoist hardliner who worked with Obama back in Chicago.  Currently, Klonsky is a professor whose goal is to spread Marxist theory into American classrooms.
Secretary of Veteran's Affairs: This post could be eliminated.  Obama plans a massive disarmament of the military, and the entire world will love him so much that they won't attack America, so this department is really not too important in his new vision for what America should be.
Secretary of Homeland Security: Who would be better to combat terrorism than William Ayers?  An unrepentant terrorist himself, he understands how terrorists think and can relate to them.  After being released on a technicality after his own bombings years ago, Ayers expressed only the regret that he hadn't done more to attack America.  A notable saying from Ayers: "Guilty as hell, free as a bird. America is a great country."
Secretary of Worship: This would be a new Cabinet post created to direct the worship of the Obamessiah.  Naturally, the first person to fill this post should be Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam.  He has already described Obama as the 'Messiah', and his devout anti-Semitism would help weed out those pesky Jews.

In addition to the Cabinet, President Obama's Chief of Staff would naturally be Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the man who married him to Michelle, baptized their daughters, inspired the title of one of his books, and served as his spiritual mentor for two decades.  Wright is steeped in Black Liberation Theology, which believes blacks should rise up and overthrow whites, so that'll help Obama keep his perspective while in the White House.  Some quotes of note include "God damn America!", "...in the U. S. of KKK A...", and "the government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color."  In a pinch, Wright could fill in for Rev. Pfleger to deal with all that racism in the farming industry, too.

And, of course, we have the venerable Joe 'Gaffe Machine' Biden as VP, ready to dispense such sage and worldly guidance as: Hillary would be a better VP than me, FDR went on TV to address the 1929 stock market crash -- before TV was commercially available, and also before FDR was President -- and that "J-O-B-S" is a three letter word.

Finally, we cannot forget the lovely and gracious Michelle Obama, the First-Lady-In-Waiting, who is just now becoming proud of America.  With her at the Obamessiah's side, who knows what hopeful things we can hope to hope for now?

General Powell, how's this for a transformational presidency?

While this has been a fictional exercise, we should be responsible enough to stop and ask some questions about the very real people and philosophies Obama has chosen to surround himself with.  The one thread that binds them all together is that they have a fundamental hatred of America and what it stands for.  That's their world view.  Is Obama guilty simply by association?  No; he is his own person.  But, I think it is completely fair to ask why he has felt so comfortable maintaining so many long associations with so many obviously radical people.  We must ask: does he agree with their world view?

If he does, then he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office for obvious reasons.  If he doesn't, then he has clearly exhibited hideously poor judgment in choosing his friends and mentors, and since he's running for office purely on that judgment (having no significant experience or accomplishments to speak of), that, too, means he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office.

Put it into proper context: yourself.  Would you hang out with people like the Cabinet of the Crooked if you didn't agree with them and feel comfortable with them?  Neither would I.

With mentors, friends, and advisers like these people, an Obama administration is certain to bring a whole lot of change...just not the kind of change that is helpful or good.  Unless you hate America, that is.

There's my two cents.
