Oh, the hypocrisy

Want to be part of the Obama administration? According to the New York Times, "A seven-page questionnaire being sent by the office of President-elect Barack Obama to those seeking cabinet and other high-ranking posts may be the most extensive — some say invasive — application ever."

After looking at some of the questions, I'm wondering if Obama would qualify to serve in his own administration.

Applicants must reveal any emails, text messages or blog posts that might embarrass the president-elect, They must also report all businesses they have been affiliated with, all organizations they have belonged to, and anyone they lived with or received gifts of over $50 from.

I left out a lot, but for the 63rd and final question: “Please provide any other information, including information about other members of your family, that could suggest a conflict of interest or be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the president-elect.”

Hm, ok. Can you say Rezko, Ayers, Khalidi, Wright? How about campaign contributions from unidentified donors?

I'm thinking Mr. Obama should be the one who is embarrassed.
