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."

I think there was one such working at DOD and if I remember correctly he was affiliated with a Muslin group. The good American born Intel guy was fired, the Muslim kept his job.
Forget the details but not my anger.

The List, ping
I guess that's from the official ululator....
Que the ululator lady pic...
My policy is to “never trust a Muslim” Osama (AKA Obama)
has been going out of his way to “appease” his brothers of Muslim faith not only in the US but overseas.
I don’t trust Muslims and certainly don’t trust Osama Obama~
If they let the gitmo detainees loose inside this country
they might as well just supply them with a bomb belt instead
of welfare benifets because they’ll try to find one anyway
Just another ignorant idea from the Obama admin
Paige is actually 100% correct.....but I just don’t care. I’m past caring about keeping up appearances with the clowns who are currently plowing the country into the ground.
That is a concept the HOG(Hussein Occupation Government)will not accept..
Nothing could possibly go wrong, I'm sure.
Will he install prayer speakers on the roof of the WH so his Muslim staff can pray five times a day?
Even if a person does profess to be a Conservative and then attacks others over an article, then that person (the attacker) is highly suspect.
The mainstream media will not out Barack Hussein Obama, so places such as the Free Republic is one of our best ways to out him.
Has the vetting been of the same high caliber as the vetting of Obama’s cabinet picks? Well, then, what do we have to worry about?
Do I have to add the sarcasm tag?
WAKE UP, America!
Racial profiling...
Get this guy outta here!!!!
