CHICAGO — In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes of 45 of the nation's most qualified — Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted — has been submitted to the White House.
The effort, driven by community leaders and others, including U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was bumped up two weeks because White House officials heard about the venture, said J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, who sifted through more than 300 names.
"It was mostly under the radar," Williams said. "We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didn't know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community."
Is he on it?
Imagine the uproar had W got a list of CHRISTIANS. Why is the media trying to help destroy our country by not reporting this BS?! I’m really getting worried.
“all carefully vetted”
PROPAGANDA.
The Obamination: Al Queda moles welcome!
The enemy within.
Well the Denver Post is.
Might as well have chosen the first fifty folks at Gitmo.
I think we need to have it for our own protection.
All carefully vetted... like the various Cabinet nominees who were "carefully vetted", but no one noticed they hadn't paid their taxes. If they missed someone not paying taxes, how would they identify people who may be working with terrorists?
Except most terrorists are not outside of the Muslim circle!
“Why is the media trying to help destroy our country by not reporting this BS?! I’m really getting worried.”
The media have pretty much signed on to the destruction of the United States because they think it will be a good story and will get people to read their swill again.
Once again.<\p>
BEAM UP UP NOW SCOTTY, THE INTELLIGENCE HAS REACHED "ZERO"
Good point — I will re-do it...
The list might have included Obama himself but they only provided the “nation’s most qualified”.
I forgot. We have all those Muslims we are letting out of GITMO, He could use them to work in the black house.
How many Chinese immigrants have to sell us out to their mother country before we realize diversity isn’t what its cracked up to be?
These people may bleed red white and blue...but hiring for characteristics other than qualifications is prejudice ain’t it Barry?
Maybe he just misread something on his telepromter or a tv screen. He’s probably a real joy at parties, reads everyones name tag like its a speech, recites the fine print on medical ads on tv as though he was on a campaign stop.
What a phoney
How long is this impostor going to be allowed to stay in the White House overseeing the destruction of our Republic???
Might be a good thing. We may have to do “preventive detention” if we are hit with a wave of Islamic terror attacks. Such attacks are more likely now that we are freeing terrorists and abstaining from monitoring their phone and other electronic communications. This list would provide people doing the detentions with a good starting point.
Is it a religion? Then he is violating the Constitution. Is it a world-domination movement? Then he is endangering our safety.
Either way, he’s wrong.
That’s probably one of the reasons they are closing Gitmo. We are already starting to see that no level of insanity is off limits for the Obama administration. They can and will cause every problem imaginable.
Do you mean as in "pals around with terrorists"?
Governor Palin to the white courtesy phone.
EX-ACTLY. Why does he want people from a particular ‘religion’? Isn’t that against the rules? BO has an agenda, folks. It’s not hard to figure out... when there isn’t even a whimper against this obvious move.
Glad he’s moving on up.
We know he already associates with low class muslims.
Maybe these “Top” muslims can show him a little class.
