6. Warren Buffet.
He's already one of Obama's economic advisors. The question is would he do it.

5. Disagree.
Obama's already well ahead when it comes to the economy.

No need to risk looking presumptuous.

7. Naming appointments in advance is a CRIME, dude
Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 10:33 PM by jberryhill
18 USC 599

Whoever, being a candidate, directly or indirectly promises or pledges the appointment, or the use of his influence or support for the appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment, for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

But thanks for playing.
