Obama's People

[Marged]

The Times commissioned some really fabulous portraits (http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/magazine/2009-inauguration-gallery/index.html?hp) of Obama's incoming people. Some are familiar faces, some were new to me, but I can't get over the sense that this is going to be a very interesting crew.

[Matthew Gallant]

Pete Orszag is fucking hardcore.

[tiohn]

Ellen Moran appears on the verge of stopping this car and coming back there so help me god.

[Marged]

Seriously!

I'm glad to see Samantha Power is back in the fold.

[Mordrak]

Looks like a bunch of damn dirty hippies and bums. God damn liberals.

[CSL]

Carol Browner aspires to be an elf I think.

[Pogo]

This is a list of some of the ugliest looking sons of bitches borne upon the earth.

Except for her. I'd hit it.

I'd spend some time with Desiree Rogers as well.

[Jason McCullough]

Is there a reason they used terrible harsh lighting to make them all look as bad as possible?

Actually, I think it brings out the character in their faces, but that's just me.

[Adam B]

Jackie Norris is having trouble maintaining psychic control over her morphic field, methinks.

Also yeah dear god with the lighting aaaaaaaghhhhh

[Hugin]

Desiree Rogers will also clearly smack your face right off your head if necessary.

[strummer]

I really liked the Homeland Security pick of Janet Napolitano. Mostly due to her cover of The Scientist, to say nothing of her Concrete Blonde days.

Though looking at the picture, she hasn't aged all that well.

Also, Jon Favreau seems to have lost a lot of bulk. Maybe he can get Obama to cameo in Iron Man 2.

[Pogo]

No doubt. But Mrs. Moran, oh baby. That's the type of rough, unapologetic frustration sex I'm looking for.

Melody Barnes can also feel free to direct and advise my policy any time she pleases.

[Lum]

I like how the ex-military staffers brace at attention even in ill-fitting suits.

[Eric T Cheng]

Ellen Moran appears on the verge of stopping this car and coming back there so help me god.

She looks like Scully.

[jerri blank]

Pete Orszag is fucking hardcore.

Before entering government, he played Prof. Utonium in Powerpuff Girls.

If they were ugly enough to make me puke upon sight I'd be happy if it meant they did their job well. But maybe I'm just stupid and we should only have pretty people appointed like Sarah Palin.. to continue the trend of morons and scum running the country.

[theblackw0lf]

oops, wrong thread.

[Kaigen]

That picture of Jim Messina creeps the fuck out of me.

[robsam]

That picture of Jim Messina creeps the fuck out of me.
That one stood out to me, too. Is that a one piece pantsuit? Is there even such a thing?

[soondifferent]

Cecilia Munoz looks like a character from Oblivion.

[bago]

Yeah. Jim Messina is ready for some business.

[Juffo-Wup]

Robert Bauer is the next Doctor!

[Squirrel Killer]

Wrap-around lighting is teh new hotness.

[Incendiary Lemon]

General Jones looks out of place in that suit.

[wildpokerman]

Uhhh just in case you're not joking it's another Jon Favreau.

And if you are I'd totally love to see Obama play Dr. Doom.

[triggercut]

Uhhh just in case you're not joking it's another Jon Favreau.


Honestly now.

[triggercut]

There are pictures out there where Hillary Clinton doesn't look as old as her years. The picture here is not one of those. Gah! She's morphing into Kissinger!

On the other hand, I had no idea Nancy Pelosi was 68 until I saw the captioning.

[Jason McCullough]

Wow, 68? That's amazing.

Hey now, I wasn't making a judgment call on their ability to do their jobs... just joking around, buddy.
