A Curious Proposal


Certainly it is within the world of the Barack Obama that has emerged recently, so eager to please the Village with his bi-partisanship and willingness to be beaten up by the opposition.
There has been a lot of talk about another special election in Massachusetts where Scott Brown may make a come back. I think President Obama could snuff that out in a bi-partisan way by extending an olive branch to Scott Brown.

With the appointment of John Kerry as Sec. of State a great possibility, there is a lot of chatter about Scott Brown throwing his hat into another special election for his Senate seat. This is a seat that Scott Brown may win based on his 2010 special election success and low voter turnout.

The background is simple. The Republicans are pushing John Kerry to be Secretary of State so that they can possible win a seat in the Senate. This is a completely obvious political move. The Democrats have not countered this political chess game, but I think an Obama appointment of Scott Brown would be checkmate.

I believe Scott Brown should be appointed to a post in the next Obama administration, perhaps in the wheel house of the veterans affairs or department of defense. Brown, who was a JAG in the Army and has military committee background experience, would be a great pick for a post.
Better yet, appoint him Special Plenipotentiary to Begin Relations with North Korea and send him to Pyongyang with a suitcase full of anti Kim propaganda. When the NK's throw him in prison, Obama can simply say, Scott who? Such stuff as dreams are made of.
