The Next President’s Administration

I told my wife this weekend that I wish McCain would annouce some of the names that he has already decided on and received confirmation back that they would serve.

White House Chief of Staff – Tom Ridge
Attorney General – Rudy G.
Secretary of Agriculture – Debbie Stabenour (D)
Secretary of Commerce – Kay Bailey Hutchinson
Secretary of Defense – Norman Schwarzkopf
Secretary of Education – Howard McKeon
Secretary of Energy -Bobby Rush (D)
Secretary of Health and Human Services – Bobby Jindal
Secretary of Homeland Security – Peter King
Secretary of State – Joe Lieberman
Secretary of the Interior – Bob Riley
Secretary of the Treasury – Mitt?
Secretary of Transportation – Liz Dole (after she loses)
Secretary of Veterans Affairs – James Peake
Commissioner of the Social Security Administration – Jennie Hansen(AARP)
Director of National Intelligence – Chuck Hagel
Director of the Office of Management and Budget – Tim Pawlenty

Let’s see, I won’t try to fill in all those positions, but here’s a few thoughts on Obama nominees:
OBAMA:
Vice President of the United States -Joe Biden
White House Chief of Staff -Keith Olbermann
Attorney General -Hillary Clinton
Secretary of Defense -Gen. Wesley Clark
Secretary of Education -Michelle Obama
Secretary of Homeland Security -Bill Ayers
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development -Michael Pfleger
Secretary of State -Colin Powell
Secretary of the Treasury -Tony Rezko
Director of National Intelligence -Bernardine Dohrn
White House Press Secretary -Oprah Winfrey
White House Special Religious Advisor – Jeremiah Wright

“Stoutcat, do you have ANY idea how many billions of people that would piss off?”

Scott, yeah, isn’t that cool? It would piss off the entire Democratic party; the U.N., probably NATO, and a bewildering array of foreign heads of state. However, Bolton is just the man to whip the State Department into shape so that it could actually carry out the policies of the president, rather than running its own little endgame, as it has for the past handful of administrations…

I’m for Bolton all the way. If not for SecState, maybe Chief of Staff?

@Wordsmith:

Yes – I think you make an excellent suggestion there Wordsmith!

Secretary of the Interior – Peter Gleick (water expert)

We need truth tellers, straight-shooters, and people with proven track records of success.

Have John Snow release a report that details America’s true budget problems, including all accured liabilites, like future Social Security payments. Make this the official budget. (Translation, we’ll have to cut spending finally).
