Listen up, all you Presidential Management Fellows: The Office of Personnel Management wants to find out what you think defines “presidential.” Under OPM’s first video contest, fellows have until the end of August to make and post a one-minute YouTube video describing what it takes to lead the country. The winner gets to have lunch with OPM Director John Berry.
It’s kind of a broad assignment. OPM suggests leadership, public service or compassion as themes to explore, but I hope they also get — and post — a few sarcastic entries on what it means to be presidential. (Strategery? Not having sexual relations with that woman?)
Unfortunately, OPM’s rules bar the use of copyrighted music, video or images. So no lip syncing to Lady Gaga, like some soldiers we might mention.
