Breaking - Obama Brings Barber Onto Transition Team
Politoc.com, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, AP, and a number of bloggers are reporting that Obama secretly met with his long time barber, Zariff, yesterday. According to sources close to Obama, a couple of folks who work in the sandwich shop down the street from transition headquarters, report that Obama has asked Zariff to serve on his transition team.
Transition officials had reported Zariff was simply cutting Obama's hair, but declined to deny Zariff had been offered a transition position.

The question is whether Zariff has at any time cut the hair of anyone who had at any time worked in the Clinton administration. There could be serious issues of whether Zariff would make decisions about how to cut Obama's hair based not on what would serve Obama interests, but rather on what would serve the Clinton's interests.

Definitely as well-sourced as other recent Obama team rumors! I want to know what the kid who sweeps the floor heard, however.

Well, this is obviously a major scandal! It is not hair-splitting to call out Obama for his palling around with nit-pickers! Oh, why didn't we go with the former mayor of Wasilla who has such profound executive experience of running a community into debt! I think Barack HUSAIN Obama should get some hair extensions like Sarah did instead of getting his hair CUT!
Now, if Barack Obama were John McCain, or Sarah he would start a fake promotion about "Bill the Barber" (who cares what his real name is, Sam, the plumber?). So Why not? Um...because Barack Obama is not a fake himself, and he doesn't use people as props (see Terri Schiavo) like the republicans do.
If you really ask yourself what is important in this world, do you think that someone who condones shooting wolves during the winter (against the snow, where they have no way to hide) from helicopters -- would have been anything except a toxic presence in our government.
OK, I guess I have strayed off topic. Couldn't help myself!

Why don't you tell that to Sarah? I don't think she realizes it yet.

You're right. But you're not placing yourself in her league, are you? I don't think you are.

So ???
The real story not being reported is that Louis Farrakhan was observed entering the barber shop 20 minutes before Obama met with Zariff ...
Quick ... Call the cops!

Considering that Obama's barber is now making private house calls to Obama's Hyde Park residence, you may be on to something here.
