NANTUCKET, Mass. (AP) — President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he is nominating Shalanda Young to lead the White House budget office and Nani Coloretti to serve as Young’s deputy.

If confirmed by the Senate, Young would be the first Black woman to lead the Office of Management and Budget while Coloretti, who is Filipino American, would become one of the highest-ranking Asian Americans in the Biden administration.

It would be the first time that two women of color will lead the agency, which helps the president develop an annual budget and monitors how tax dollars are spent.

Young has served as acting director of the office for much of the year. Biden’s first nominee for the director’s position, Neera Tanden, faced bipartisan criticism for her previous attacks on lawmakers, and she ultimately withdrew from consideration.

...Thsi doesn't pass the smell /sniff test.............

[euram]

I’m guessing that is her only qualification.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Flimsey Grahamnesty votes for ALL of Senile Joe’s lunatic appointments.

We MUST stop re-electing Assistant Democrats.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Is it true that she is only 12-years-old?

[Mogger]

Who cares about their skin pigment?

Can they do the job?

Since Biden picked them, doubtful.

Blame the old white guy.

joe must have caught that movie hidden figures on netflix and thought they could help his poll numbers.

[Seruzawa]

They are going to be commies dedicated to the destruction of America. Just like every other denizen of the Xiden administration.

It’s all about race and gender and other intersectionalities, and not at all about qualifications, experience, knowledge, and other skills related to the position.

[Nea Wood]

Because of course he does.

[mewzilla]

Young’s been a Congressional Staffer for most if her career.

[joshua c]

she answered the 2+2 question correctly.

[fhayek]

If you are of ‘color’ you are qualified for everything and responsible for nothing.

[SMARTY]

Uh huhhhh...and San Fran is doing SO well, right?

I was laughing so hard when NASA named a building after the “Hidden Figures” lady.

The poor women keeps telling people that her contribution was not that significant. She is telling the truth, but those dumb honkies at NASA refuse to believe her!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Woman of color, freakin’ ridiculous description. What color is she, blue? Green? Muave? So what is everyone else? Colorless?

[mewzilla]

Deep State doesn’t have a deep bench.

It has a collection of dunce chairs.

These two won’t be calling any shots.

They’re two more useful idiots for Deep State to hide behind.

from Coloretti bio:

Coloretti’s prior experience includes work in San Francisco to improve the lives of children, youth, and families; budget analysis in the Clinton administration’s Office of Management and Budget and for the State of Hawaii; and economic consulting.

So the party that claims the other side hires and judges by skin color, hires and judges by skin color.

Weird shit.
