Obama Cabinet Picks--What Song would YOU Choose?

If you had to pick a song to describe each Obama Cabinet choice, what would YOU go with? Here's mine:

1. Treasury--Timothy Geithner--"Money for Nothing" (Dire Straits)

It's practically a given that Geithner will continue executing bailouts of major corporations and Pension funds over the next 4 years. The song couldn't be more apropos.


2. Health and Human Services--Tom Daschle--"License to Ill" (Beastie Boys).

"I think you know what time it is, time to get ill..." That just about says it all there.


3. State--Hillary Clinton (as yet unconfirmed...)--"Viva la Vida" (Coldplay)

"I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own..."

"One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand..."


4. Justice--Eric Holder--"Breakin the Law" Judas Priest

Any topic that can bring the Attorney General and Judas Priest together can't be all bad...


5. Homeland Security--Janet Napolitano--"Back in the USSR" (Beatles)

This was a tough one. Lots of ways to go. Feeling like Russia could be on the list of concerns here...

6. Commerce--Bill Richardson--"Good times, Bad times" Led Zeppelin

Could have worked for Geithner too. Richardson is going to "have his share" of both during the next 4 years...



Don't like my picks? Put your own up there. If I like it, I'll post a revision tomorrow, along with a new blog thought.
