Barack Obama is asking anyone up for a presidential appointment to fill out a 63-question, seven-page, questionnaire [1]. If you want to work in the Obama White House, you better be prepared to divulge all your secrets. Actually, you better not have any secrets!
Here are some of the questions:
- Diaries: If you keep or have ever kept a diary that contains anything that could suggest a conflict of interest or be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the President-Elect if it were made public, please describe.
- Electronic communications: If you have ever sent an electronic communication including but not limited to an email, text message or instant message, that could suggest a conflict of interest or be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the President-Elect f it were made public, please describe.
- Speeches: Please identify all speeches you have given. If available please provide the text or recordings of each speech or identify any recordings of speeches of which you are aware.
- Do you presently have or have you in the past had occasional (to be sure, a monthly housekeeper is covered) or regular domestic help? (e.g., a housekeeper, babysitter, nanny or gardener) If yes, please indicated the name and years of service for each individual and also provide a brief description of the services rendered.
- Please specifically describe any affiliation you, your spouse or any member of your immediate family have, or have had, with any financial, banking, mortgage or insurance institution that is currently the subject of federal government intervention as part of the ongoing economic crisis. This question includes, but is not limited to, the following: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, and Washington Mutual.
- Have you had any association with any person group or business venture that could be used — even unfairly — to impugn or attack your character and qualifications for government service?

Talk about an intense vetting process. Just think of all the dirt Obama will have on those who answer these questions! Would you want a presidential appointment after reading some of these questions?
