President-elect Barack Obama continued rounding out his White House staff today, naming Jonathan Favreau director of speechwriting and Cecilia Munoz director of intergovernmental affairs.

Munoz, meanwhile, will oversee the White House office responsible for relations between the administration and state and local governments. The 2000 MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" winner is a senior vice president at the National Council of La Raza, a leading Hispanic civil rights group. There, she has spearheaded many of the organization's immigration initiatives. Currently, she is in charge of the group's entire advocacy and legislative agenda.
"We're continuing to build a White House team that can rise to the challenges facing this country -- and I couldn't be more excited to announce Jon and Cecilia," Obama said. "I'm confident that at a critical time in our history, this White House will restore openness and accountability to our executive branch and help to put government back in the hands of the people it serves."

I guess BO thinks that it’s a good idea to hire racists. You can keep an eye on them that way.
Or birds of a feather flock together.
The beautiful part of these choices is the success track record of these people.
The coolest irony is that the article just below this one has the headline: “Nine headless bodies found in Mexican town.”
Such glorious cultural expression from south of the border. Time to celebrate!
I cannot believe someone from La Raza is going to be allowed to work for the government and be paid by the U.S. taxpayers. That would be like hiring someone from the KKK.
The KKK is a lot less racist.
We are screwed.

Continuing the trend of undocumented workers within the administration , Odinga nominates the VP of La Raza for a cabinet position.
Anyone here getting sick of these groups that dole out grants to left wingers?
Its gonna get a lot worse over the next 4 years. The fuhrer's handlers reward their toadies well.
‘Or birds of a feather flock together.’
Yep. Wonder how long it will take for those who voted for Mr. Obama to realize what damage they helped do to our country?
It seems the selective outrage folks, the ones who can only keep ripping McCain but not Obama on illegals remain quiet
“to realize what damage they helped do to our country?”
You’re kidding, right?
These people HATE this country. It’s Change they can
believe in.
