World Starved for Change, and Obama Leads With Rahm Emanuel?

Satire By John Kakistos Lillpop

The Emanuel who has been in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Illinois, since 2003?

THAT Emanuel is supposed to be in charge of Change?

Good heavens, President-elect Obama, we were expecting real change, the kind that America desperately needs!

For example, why not name Eddie Murphy Chief of Staff?

Of course, Murphy has no experience whatsoever; however, that makes him the perfect match for a senior post in the Obama administration!

What better way to bring about change than by bringing in someone who has no idea about the traditional, "old school" ways of Washington?

Or better still, why not leave the future of the civilized world in the capable hands of basketball superstar Allen Iverson, now playing for the Detroit Pistons?

Iverson may not know squat about politics or government, but he could challenge the president to some one-on-one hoops to relieve the stress of dealing with snotty Republicans!

All in all, the selection of Rahm Emanuel is a major disappointment to those of us looking forward to monumental, earth shattering change.

Perhaps the only change that the new president will actually deliver on is abandonment of all those exaggerated campaign promises concerning CHANGE?
