I Bet Obama's Had to Hire a White House Chinese Chef

Hey,
this was an email I received today from my former Assistant Principal Marc Saltzman:

WHITE HOUSE STAFF FOR OBAMA & BIDEN


So far we have:

Rahm Emanuel - Chief of Staff - Jewish

David Axelrod - Senior Advisor to the President - Jewish

Ronald Klain - Chief of Staff to the Vice President of the United States - Jewish

Larry Summers - Economic Advisor to the President - Jewish

Paul Volcker - Economic Advisor to the President, Former Head of Fed Reserve - Jewish

Tim Geithner - Treasury Secretary - Jewish [we are not sure about this one]

Peter Orszag - Head of Budget - Jewish


Have you noticed that Obama and Biden are not so much assembling staff, as gathering a minyan?

What does everyone think? Should they scout out the best Chinese takeout for cabinet meetings, or would it more efficient for Obama to hire a Chinese chef for the White House? I vote for the latter, because in the long run, they will be eating so much Chinese food, they might as well wok it up in-house!

On Metroblogging NYC I pay homage to a "mature" boomer pilot who was the real hero in the "miracle on the Hudson" yesterday. Click this link!
