Hey! I’ve enjoyed one of Bon Jovi’s songs! Obama has instant credibility with me now.

[blackdog]

My specific community need is to need less of these people involved in my needs.

[Bitsy]

SNAKEOIL to the public via celebrities

They underestimate America again, IMHO.

[lacrew]

“the best ways to mobilize citizens, nonprofits, businesses and government to work more effectively together to solve specific community needs”

Community organizing at the Federal level?

[who knows what evil?]

‘Idiocracy’ was a documentary...

[2ndDivisionVet]

Or Liza Minnelli...

The real crime is that this is an advisory board. It’s just a left wing activism/propaganda tool.

[Semper911]

Since Obama has no experience at managing ANYthing, he has no idea who to appoint to the various positions in his administration. So he evidently goes browsing through People magazine looking for names.

Or he just asks the Clintons for ideas.

I knew we were in trouble when he tried to appoint the CNN doctor/reporter guy (Gupta) as Surgeon General. I remember thinking, “Is that the only doctor he can think of?

[Noumenon]

Sounds like a scene from Idiocracy...

[Cyber Liberty]

“Ow! My Balls!”

[Mr. K]

I can’t tell if this is satire or not

[blackdog]

I think it's in response to Obama losing the female voters in the 45 to 55 age group. Gotta get back that tingly leg wet feeling in his base.

This guy's advisors are right out of "Idocracy", a movie which everyone must see. It is where we are headed very quickly.

[Awgie]

Communal this community that. What about the role of the individual. Please keep your big fat lazy community off my back and I (as in individual) will fend for myself, or pay the consequences.

Politically correct disclaimer: Of course the elderly , the sick, the malnourished the over nourished, the lame, the shy, the sexually confused, the stupid shall be protected against the evils of a society that places high value on individual responsibility.

[trisham]

Are you sure this isn’t satire?

[Baynative]

The first sure sign of incompetence is the need to create a committee or find a consultant to bring "suggestions" on how to try to do something.

[blackdog]

Specific community needs, with full release.

[GlockThe Vote]

Obama is living on a prayer.

In related news, Dr. John is now the Surgeon General and The Starland Vocal Band has been tapped for a NASA advisory board.

[2ndDivisionVet]

It isn’t presented as such. It’s in the WaPo’s Federal Eye blog about the government.

[KC_Conspirator]

So he just hired Bon Jovi to be National “Community Organizer”?
