Parody on The Twelve Days of Christmas, as applied to Obama's picks for his Cabinet and other key posts. The list is intended to be cumulative (that is, each person is picked only once). At the end I present those left out due to time constraints (Only twelve days!)
Typo: CAROL Browner

PS. You Tube hasn't put up a still from the video. I will try to post one elsewhere on this site.

1. What a difference a year makes!!
Just a year ago, no one knew who the nominees would be, and THIS was the "12 days"
video that encompassed the political topography of the day:

2. Not sure who did it, but that's a really un-creative attempt at a parody.
All they do is list the name and split up syllables.

3. Parody?
Maybe "parody" was the wrong word. I did it as a paean to Obama. It wouldn't be my first flop!

4. Paean...funky word of the day. I have to give you kudos for that.
I wasn't familiar with that word, but like it!
