Barack Obama Administration Job Application Like a Reality TV Questionnaire


Barack Obama, Political News

11.13.08 | Comment?


Yes we can…ask you a long list of really personal information if you want a job with me.

One of the staff on RawPolitics.tv almost made Real World V (the Miami season). He eventually lost his spot on the show to Mike, the dude who had the threesome in the bathroom. Life is cruel sometimes.

Anyway, the first step on getting on the show was to fill out a 63-item or so questionnaire detailing every possible aspect of one’s life that one would never really want to put to print.

Apparently Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray put together the job application for roles in Barack Obama’s administration, because if you want a position, here are some of the 63 or so items you’ll need to fill out:

  • Have you had any association with any person, group or business venture that could be used — even unfairly — to impugn or attack your character or qualifications for government service? (better known as the “Bill Ayers Question“)
  • Names and phone numbers of past live-in lovers (in our case, we hope they’ve left room so we can write on the back)
  • Do you have any enemies. (ditto)
  • DetailsĀ on any child support or alimony orders. (they probably wouldn’t find “none that I know of” as funny as we do)
  • Immigration status of any domestic help the applicant may have hired.
  • Turning over of personal diaries.

They also want to know about any Facebook pages or blogs.

If you make it past the first round of this process, you have to battle the other “finalists” in a little thing Obama likes to call The Guantlet.
