Obama Offers Hannah Montana Treasury Secretary Job

Obama Offers Hannah Montana Treasury Secretary Job

The New York Times reports on the CMT Awards' skit featuring Obama, McCain and Miley Cyrus.

In case you missed the Country Music Television awards last night, you missed an unexpected -- and hilarious -- skit involving John McCain and Barack Obama dialing up Miley Cyrus, who plays rock star Hannah Montana on a popular Disney Channel show.

The premise? Senators John McCain and Barack Obama need tickets! And since Ms. Cyrus was the co-host of the show, well, you know, they just thought they'd ask.

We can see how Mr. Obama might have been roped into the skit. His daughters Malia, 9, and Sasha, 6, fit right into Ms. Cyrus' preteen, glitter-loving demographic. That doesn't, however, explain why he offers her the Treasury Secretary job.

Watch the video.
