Obama also announced that he had accepted his own appointment of himself as an Assistant Undersecretary in the Department of Housing and Urban Development
"It's a fairly low-stress job that I'm reasonably qualified for," said Obama. "I really can't do much damage there, and it will give me plenty of free time for Oprah specials. Plus work on my next autobiography and re-election campaign."
Hey, that's the first thing he's said that makes sense. Fuggedabout this economic stuff. What will the Whitehouse Chef cook tonight? Who's designing Michelle's clothes? How will the first daughters adjust? Those are the things America wants to know! (While they can still pay the electric bill, that is.)
