In an effort to show that he can appeal to Tea Party Sympathizers as well, President Obama today named Bernie Madoff as the new director of Social Security.

“If Social Security is a Ponzi scheme as some Republican presidential hopefuls have said it is, then I want the person with the most experience in managing a Ponzi scheme to head it. I am therefore naming Bernie Madoff the become the new director of Social Security, following his release from prison by way a Presidential Pardon that I am issuing today.”

The President’s other announcement was to name a 90-year-old man without health insurance who has been in a coma for the past 9 months to head up the Medicaid Program. The named person could not comment on his new role.
