From the Denver Post.
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."

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
More than likely its one paid Obot with a lot of different names, they always sound the same rant.
Well, regretably Bush did the same thing, although no doubt Obama will end up making him look good on this issue. There’s a LOT of pressure not to admit that we might have some sort of Muslim problem.
Gordon England, Bush’s Deputy Secretary of Defense, sponsored Muslims in sensitive, key positions in the Defense Department, and he was forced to fire one of them, Hesham Islam, when he turned out to have totally lied about his background. Great security checking there, eh?
Obama couldn’t pass a low-level security check. Why should we expect his appointees to be any different?
““I won” is the only truthful thing I’ve heard him say.”
But he leaves out “with the aid of illegal lottery proceedings, misuse of tax exempt church resources, and possibly illegal foreign contributions>’
