Oh hey, sorry if you already knew that. I'm not hating, I'm just saying there's a chance that one of Obama's cabinet picks might be reading this, so I'd better put it on here.

Look, I'm not hating on Obama's cabinet picks, but could it turn out that at least one of you actually pays your taxes? Just ONE?? Is that too much to ask? Hopefully Obama's next pick for Commerce Secretary has his shit together. Who did he go with? Willie Nelson? Damn it.

Look, Barack, I totally understand what you're doing here. This is just your way of reaching across the aisle. Republicans said some nasty things about you in the weeks leading up to the election, calling you a socialist and saying you were going to raise taxes on the rich. Well, you heard those cries, and so now you're not only not raising taxes on the rich, you've actually stopped caring whether or not they pay them at all. And you're strategically choosing all the rich people that don't pay their taxes and putting them in your cabinet, so that everyone can see how bi-partisan you are.

Your intentions are noble, President Obama. But, as unifying a gesture as that is...it probably isn't what the country needs right now. We could probably use that extra money your cabinet isn't paying so that said cabinet doesn't have to help push a bill charging American taxpayers (all us non-cabinet folk) 900 billion dollars.

I'm not hating, just saying.
