A Paean to Barack Obama. The Twelve Days of Choosing Obama's Top Team

An enhanced version of my previous post. To be sung to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas, whose lyrics are modified to apply 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!)

Thanks. In the original and when I watch it on You Tube, Daschle is OK. I tried my best, but sometimes the hardware interferes! I wish I could get out the word to more Obamaphiles.

fantastic job!

i think Day 4 and Day 3 flowed especially well! And, of course, Day 1 and Day 5 would bring a smile to anyone's face.

if i may offer one small criticism, there were times the photo would appear after we've already started singing the first syllable of the name. it would make it hard to sing Day 6, for example, because by the time Daschle's name shows up, you should already have started singing it.
