Open Letter to Barack Obama:
Dear Barack,
Could you believe that election Tuesday night!?! Enough chit-chat, I'll cut straight to the chase. I want to come work for you. There are many reasons why I'd be an excellent candidate for a position as an aid, researcher, gopher or anything else that puts me near your greatness. I strongly believe that you will be president some day (it's looking like 2016 this morning) and am dedicated to helping you achieve this goal. I'd like to be your Karl Rove only good instead of evil. (This isn't to say I'm the type of person who lumps things into categories of good and evil, but come on!)
Why would I be a good employee? I'm fun to be around, I travel well, I live in DC already so I wouldn't have to relocate, and I clearly know how to use a computer.
I'd hire me.
You're going to have a tough time in the Senate trying to get anything remotely close to crossing the president's desk. I want to be there to complain with you when things don't go well.
You're also going to have some long nights filibustering (is that a word?) to keep Mr. Bush from getting another Scalia or Thomas onto the Supreme Court. That can be rough. I'd like to be there to fetch you coffee and pretend to pay attention to whomever is speaking.
My mom is from Illinois. So are her parents. If that's not enough of a reason to hire me, I don't know what is.
I look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Greg
P.S. Another great reason to hire me? I just had my spell checker learn your name. Don't let that go to waste!
