Bamalot: Obama Drafts Star-Studded Short List for Cabinet

NBC
Thursday, November 6, 2008

President-elect Barack Obama has drafted a star-studded short list of cabinet candidates, with political heavyweights Caroline Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Colin Powell and John Kerry among the most notable names being eyed by his transition team.

Obama already has offered Illinois Democrat Rahm Emanuel the position of chief of staff. It is likely that Emanuel will accept – and now Obama is focusing on filling out the rest of his team. 

The President-elect is strongly considering Robert F. Kennedy to be the head of the Environmental Protection Agency and is weighing Kennedy’s cousin, Caroline, for the position of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations – a move that would please Sens. Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy, Politico reported.

If Obama chooses to oust Robert Gates as Defense Secretary, Gen. Colin Powell has been short-listed as a candidate. Powell’s endorsement of Obama fueled speculation that the former Secretary of State would be considered for a Cabinet position. But the New York Daily News and New York Post report that Obama could ask Gates to stay in the job.

Sen. John Kerry is considered the front-runner for the nation’s top diplomat. The senator from Massachusetts selected Obama to be the keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, where Obama delivered the critically acclaimed speech that put him on the map.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was named as a potential candidate for Secretary of Energy in late October. Others considered for top jobs are Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell for Secretary of Energy and Chancellor of New York City’s Department of Education Joel Klein.

   Obama does not choose the cabinet. The cabinet was chosen in Chantilly Virginia this past Spring at the bilderburger meeting. People dont get sucked into this game of illusion. Its scripted. Its lies and trickery. Anything they tell you in D.C. is a lie. The NWO is taking over the USA and the entire globe. DONT GET SIDETRACKED! Work on your own soul now why you still have that luxury. Help people. Spread TRUTH.

   The Governator for Energy Secretary? Who picked him? Jailbirds from Enron? Arnold Schwarzenegger is the man who single handedly ruined the California budget by dropping the multi-billion dollar lawsuit against Enron that was stolen from California energy users.

   What do you all think of this?

   I feel sorry for Obama. He’s wandered into a big boys game and I don’t think he’s aware of how he might be used. After all, the Son of Satan is his vice-president, one of the biggest, nastiest boys around. We’re hearing the names Biden, Kennedy, Kerry. Obama’s the only new name.

   While I worry about the fate of America in the hands of these NWO lackeys, I hesitantly remind myself about how immoral, God-less, and cruel they are. There is a common theme to remember folks. America is the last thorn in the NWO Ruling Class’s side. They never intend to make her great again, only to tear her apart. They have been draining our intellect, wealth, productivity, sovereignty, and our self-reliance systematically over the last 100 years. They’ve annulled our constitution. They’ve created problems for which they supply the answers. They’ve put us against one another by creating phony factions. They incite racial tension, bring in street drugs, and have installed a culture of crime which has been met by their own police state, manned mostly by our own gung-ho, unwitting citizens (who think they’re military).

   The NWO would love to declare martial law in America as soon as they can. They wanted to with 911, and honed some skills during Katrina. They’ll be ready to do it after they disarm us more and more. Then all they need is a really good reason. Hysteria. Let’s see. How can they create hysteria, chaos, and social upheaval in America? I’m not even going to write it here.

   These guys are all white, protestants (on the outside) and mostly from the same blood lines. They don’t really like black people, let alone muslims. They don’t like Catholics either. They’re pragmatists. You know what that means. The ends justify the means. So that’s why I feel sorry for him.

   Barack Hussein Obama’s ego has steered him into a Shit Storm and Joe Biden’s going to be the weatherman. God save him, and God save America.
