Want to work for Obama?

[Bob Juch]

If so, be prepared to answer a whole lot of personal questions:

I think the request to provide copies of all post on blogs or websites would pretty much eliminate everybody here from any position in the Obama administration.

I don't believe for a minute that anyone actually will read the applications, each of which easily could reach several thousand pages. Hiring is more likely to follow the traditional Chicago politician style with a single question: "Who do you know?"

Hahaha but they will probably still make some intern read them, and summarize them, and then base the hiring just on that question and not use any of the information that the intern worked 20 hours a day to prepare!

Won't they just hire the one with the big boobs?

Some of us would melt down several printers and kill off a large number of trees printing out all our posts. Not to mention the ginormous cost of postage to send them. Do they accept electronic submissions, as does the FDA?

The 'blog' question also asks you to list all aliases that you have ever used on the internet. A couple people on this Bored would probably use up a forest just to list their Merry Men....

I wonder if Uly would have to list all his avatars, also...

I already do work for Obama (or will, come January.) Same as I work for Dubya now, & Clinton, & Bush I, & going back to Ronnie Reagan -- and would have worked for McCain had the election gone differently. Didn't work for Carter; I started w/ the SSA in mid-81 & transferred to the VA about a year later.

Same here. We have photos of the president and vice-president in the lobby of our building; presumably they'll be changed on January 20.

Pfffft. Executive Branch? I'm Judicial Branch, baby.

My bosses are in for life!

I am sure that somebody has them archived!

Now I want beast and mini to apply for jobs in the administration, just so we can admire their application forms!

I can't believe no one has pointed out the irony that the documentation required of prospective employees goes way beyond documentation that the President-Elect refused to provide about himself.

Don't be too hard on him. He has self esteem issues. Even he would not even hire himself. He is still in shock that he was elected senator. He's like the fat kid that got convinced to run for cheerleader and won, standing out on the football field looking around, scared, and thinking "Now what?".

I have been trying ALL DAY.

It's been really freaking hard.
