Obama's Economic Team: Big Resumes, Egos and Expectations

Missed tonight's Cavuto? Catch "The Deal" right here on FOXBusiness.com

Here's the deal:

Where are all these guys' offices?

Welcome, everybody, I'm Neil Cavuto.

And with all these Obama economic appointments, I'm just wondering...Where are they going to fit them all?

I know Treasury pick Tim Geithner has his own building next door...But what about these non-Cabinet appointments?

What about Paul Volcker? You can't put him in some cockamamie cubicle.

For one thing, he's a global financial rockstar.

And for another, he's really, really tall....

So just try putting Paul and his brand new economic recovery advisory board in a cubby.

But if you do, it better not be bigger than Larry Summers. He's a big deal too...Head of the National Economic Council.

Which is just down the hall from another big dude, the president's budget director...Peter Orszag.

...who's a paper airplane throw away from Council of Economic Advisers head Christina Romer, who's a spreadsheet shout from fellow adviser and Obama pal Austan Goolsbee, who'll also be working with Paul, so I guess he shouldn't be far from Paul.

In what, I suspect, will be a very, very crowded West Wing.

This is an enviable economic team...Big resumes. Big egos, too.

And now big expectations.

So advice, to one and all.

Two words.

Food tasters.
