According to CNBC, President Obama frustrated in his attempts to find someone willing to be Commerce Secretary, and who may be current with his or her IRS accounts, has turned to Craigslist. “The position of Commerce Secretary is too important to remain unfilled another day. That’s why it is absolutely essential that this Craigslist thing work.”
The President’s online gambit seemed to pay off early in the day, when Josh Hurtstein, an indie rock musician from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, tentatively accepted the post.
But hours later, Mr. Hurtstein did an about-face, withdrawing his name from consideration with the following terse statement: “At first I was like, that would be awesome, but I didn’t realize I would have to move.”
For his part, Mr. Obama said he would continue his search on Craigslist, adding, “While I have not yet found a Commerce Secretary there I did just find a great pair of skis.”
