The Obama administration has announced its appointment of 13 White House fellows and the first person featured on its short list is a Muslim attorney who specializes in Shariah-compliant transactions.
"This year's White House fellows are comprised of some of the best and brightest leaders in our country," Michelle Obama said in the June 22 announcement. "I applaud their unyielding commitment to public service and dedication to serving their community."

This must be really important if Michelle Obama is announcing it.
WTH is with that? Did somebodty die and leave her in charge?
1. Start obeying God’s laws
2. Islam = Terrorism and must be purged if freedom and liberty and this country are to survive. It must be treated to the same opprobrium as Nazism. It must be shamed, ridiculed, and derided at every turn. There is no moderate or religious Islam. It is all violent tyranny. Some lie about it to westerners and Christians.
Our tax money pays for this shit?......
Can any of THEM plug the hole? Thought not.
liberty bump
WTF???
tyranny bump
We have paid “Czars”; now we have paid “Fellows”; we have paid Cabinet members that have huge staffs; we have a huge paid WH staff; all on top of elected paid congress, with huge staffs of their own, that are too dumb to read or understand the multi-thousand page bills that they pass without a minutes review.
Who is in charge of this train-wreck? Who report to who?
Who is in charge?
All of this brought to you by Zer0, an incompetent, who has never had a job where anyone ever reported to him; has never even run a streetside lemonaide stand.
And, what's Michelle doing announcing these new paid positions? Who ever elected her as a mouthpiece?
Hello America. It's Friday.
Do you know where the President is?
lol
yeah, now that you mention it, that may be a sign...
Oh man. When is this crap going to stop?
(Rhetorical)
I know... I truly can’t take it anymore. I hope this country survives until the 2012 elections. I’m dead serious.
So, will hey have a Christian as an expert?
The first asshole that demands I follow his cult’s rules will find I am an American.
Part of me honestly thinks it won’t- really. Every institution is being attacked/demolished. It seems like it’s a matter of time.
Who is John Galt?
No one has the guts to Impeach. It is Reminding me more and more of the Movie the Final Conflict with Sam Neil. Scary times.
Dear God, make it stop!
Ugly AND illiterate.
wonder just who they've led. nobody, leaders without followers
