BARACK OBAMA MUST NAME CABINET NOW!!!!!!!

Democratic politics

I, Michael Matteucig, just submitted the following letter to Barack Obama.
"Barack Obama must name his CABINET now and publicly introduce them. This suggestion is not being proposed for the purposes of presumptuousness on my part. It makes good sense to allow the U.S. public to know who those individuals will be--those who will assist Barack Obama in running our Nation should he be elected on November 4th, 2008. By publicly naming his CABINET now, U.S. voters will be more inclined to vote for Barack Obama come November 4th, 2008--based on the assumption that very fine individuals as General Clark and General Shinzeki will be among those named. Therefore, the Democrats will have a better chance of taking both the "White House" and "Congress."
As just stated, I, personally, need to see General Clark and General Shinzeki in the CABINET. Without these individuals, the Democrats are "toast": read--"Dead On Arrival" come November 4th, 2008. I want Barack Obama to win. I want the Democrats to win. To win, we need individuals with military, diplomatic, and economic experience and "spine" to go after crooks, thieves, and liars who place personal gain over society at-large.
Since Barack Obama claims to be the listener and unifier, I suggest he heed my suggestion. Again, I want Barack Obama to win. I want the Democrats to win. Please listen and heed this advise!"
Peace and Good!
Michael Joseph Matteucig
N.B. Senator Obama, I hope you appreciate all that General Clark does to assist you--including telling the truth about "McInsane.
If Obama (or even McCain) names his cabinet now, where do I send my resume?
It's not that I support Obama so much, as readers here will note.
But I do have an MBA in International (Business) Management. While I don't have much background specifically directed at mortgage rates, my program did included both macro- and micro-economics, Money and Banking, International Banking, International Finance, Int'l Trade, World Economic Structure (International Development), Corporate Finance, Investment Management, etc.
My research project, on Brazil's Debt Problems, was used by a Vice-President of the Bank of America as a bcakground briefing for her Brazilian clients.
I even worked for the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on the development of a Reserve Management System. This was used both to monitor compliance of banks with Fed requirements, and to feed into the data used for economic decision making.
I also have extensive Information Technology experience that includes auditing fraudulent food stamp recipients for the State of Illiois and fraudulent customers of the PG & E utility in San Francisco. My other experience includes projecting assets & liabilities for companies, tracking cash flow, fixing internal controls, and production support for a major bank's Asset Management System, that managed corporate assets worth from $50 - 100 billion dollars.
In other words, I have as much as, or even more
background, than many of the Decision makers in Washington now.

It's a good idea. First one of my Obama hesitations are the people he relies on and those he doesn't. It would be great to see what an Obama administration would look like. Second, the grabbing of the news cycle would be brilliant. A slow turn out of cabinet members (one every 3-4 days) would dominate the news. If McCain tried to copy Senator Obama's lead, his choices would probably look like the Bush white-house. This would reinforce one of the strongest memes of this election cycle "McCain as the third Bush administration." Senator Obama should, but probably won't include Wes in his administration. The very excellent Steve Clemons gave a detailed description of the recent presidential debate. http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/2008/09/and_it_begins/
This is what Steve says about Wes and Senator Obama:
If Obama had spent any quality time lately with General Wesley Clark, Clark would have told Obama to say: "John McCain, stop hiding behind David Petraeus!"
But alas, Clark was on the periphery of exile from Obama Land. Big mistake.

Good idea, Michael. I hope Senator Obama heeds your advice.

Wes Clark could still secure America as a national security candidate.
