Analogies for Obama

So I was reading this Spectator piece from Jeri Thompson, which mentions the fact that Obama’s Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Manufacturing, Nicole Lamb-Hale, was a bankruptcy lawyer.

This line caught my eye:

What kind of message does a President send when he puts a bankruptcy lawyer in charge of the manufacturing sector? It’s comparable to appointing a tax cheat to run the Treasury… oh… wait… never mind.

and it got me thinking about what else putting a bankruptcy lawyer in charge of manufacturing is like:


“I’m available for Bar Mitzvahs”

* Putting a thunderstorm in charge of your campfire.

* Having a divorce lawyer officiate your wedding ceremony.

* Hiring a demolition crew to build your house.

* Picking Lindsay Lohan as your AA sponsor.

* Putting the Orkin man in charge of your apiary.

* Putting Jack Kevorkian in charge of the retirement home industry.

* Putting a lawn mower in charge of your flower garden.

* Hiring Tiger Woods to teach kids about abstinence.

* Having George Lucas direct your epic space opera prequels.

* Letting a porcupine guard your condoms.

* Putting Harry Reid in charge of your Negro Black History Month celebration.


What would YOU compare Obama’s masterpiece of tone-deaf appointeeism to?
