washington post ^ | 11.26.08 | Michael A. Fletcher

Posted on 11/30/2008 5:44:22 PM PST by Coleus

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.

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.

La Raza is a racist organization whose goal is to remove the Southwestern United States from the union, and give it to Mexico, without firing a shot. And Obama chooses the Vice President of this organization to be in charge of intergovernmental relations?

We are screwed.

That'll be the day.

‘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?
