White House dot gov

An observation today. Heard that the White House has prettied-up their website so I checked it out.

All-in-all not bad I guess. But I found one interesting tidbit.

Either click on the Administration tab at the top or scroll down to see who’s who.

I know First Ladies and wives of Veeps (Second Lady?) are important people. They can play a useful role in the government. But unless I am mistaken, neither Michelle Obama's nor Dr. Jill Biden’s names were on any ballots I saw. Likewise I haven’t heard that they have been appointed or hired for any specific jobs but …

Both names are in the official list of the Administration. In fact both are listed above the Cabinet. I know enough about movie making and credits to know that placement and order of names is a big deal. So not only are they listed someplace that doesn’t make official sense to me but they are also listed above a lot of other people in the pecking order.

But I’m a little out of touch with what’s going on in DC right now; what with a family to feed and a mortgage to pay etc. so maybe I’ve missed something.

Change?

I can't take credit for the idea here, I'm merely using the ability of the internet as a tool to pass things along.

In Barb Nicolosi's blog (which if you are interested in faith and the arts - especially the intersection of movies and our faith - you should check her out.)

Look at this list of name: CHANGE?

Joe Biden, VP; Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State; Rahm Emmanuel, Chief of Staff;
Tom Daschle, Sec of Health and Human Services. If these people represent "change" as promised by Obama ... this sounds more like "the usual suspects."
