President Barack Obama has signed an executive order directing the federal government to design a new strategy for hiring, promoting and keeping workers of diverse backgrounds. The three-page order released Thursday directs the head of the Office of Personnel Management, a deputy director at the Office of Management and Budget and two other agencies to develop the strategy within 90 days. Agencies then have 120 days to implement it. An Office of Personnel Management report says that in fiscal year 2010, the federal workforce was 66.2 percent white, 17.7 percent black, 8 percent Hispanic, 5.6 percent Asian/Pacific Islander, 1.8 percent Native American. It was 56.1 percent male.

Bill Clinton opened hunting season on heterosexual white males in the Federal Government. I never noticed that effort being reversed!! Why should we expect a RINO, like Romney for example, to reverse affirmative actions by Obama.
He’s doing all the damage he can before he loses office.
How about hiring groups that do not speak or read English? We need more of them in government to drive us crazy.
Whites are 72% of the US population. Looks like at 66% they are underrepresented!
According to the OPM (Office of Personnel Management), minorities represented 38.8 percent of the federal workforce last year, while 43.9 percent of the federal workforce was female.
“We will only succeed in our critical mission with a workforce that hails from, represents and is connected to the needs of every American community,” Berry said.
What? Different numbers from the same department? Shocked, SHOCKED!
I know, it says minorities but I still don't get to 38.8% adding up those above.
Dadgum bean counters...
Actually at 17.7% of the federal workforce, blacks are over-represented by almost 50% compared to their share of the overall population.
Blacks are about 11 or 12 percent of the population, not 17.7. Pacific/ Asian people are nowhere near 5.6% of the population.
Bingo! Let's not forget "we are not a christian nation"! Bowbama quote...
BTW, we can't forget those ever present atheists!
You are correct to dispute this. It's more like 25% of all Fed employees. However, only 17.3% actually work (if you want to call it that).

We are a band of brothers and native to the soil
Fighting for our Liberty, With treasure, blood and toil
And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!
Chorus:
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
2. As long as the Union was faithful to her trust
Like friends and like brethren, kind were we, and just
But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Chorus
3. First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand
Then came Alabama and took her by the hand
Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida
All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Chorus
4. Ye men of valor gather round the banner of the right
Texas and fair Louisiana join us in the fight
Davis, our loved President, and Stephens statesmen rare
Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Chorus
5. Now here’s to brave Virginia, the old Dominion State,
With the young Confederacy at last has sealed her fate,
And spurred by her example, now other states prepare
To hoist high the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star.
Chorus[2]
6. Then cheer, boys, cheer, raise a joyous shout
For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out,
And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given,
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be eleven.
Chorus
7. Then here’s to our Confederacy, strong we are and brave,
Like patriots of old we’ll fight, our heritage to save;
And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prefer,
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Should be interesting to find out what in the world he has in mind.
Actually, the fewer white workers in federal government, it’s probably the better. That means that many fewer democrat voters. The blacks will continue vote democrat even if their location gets as bad as Detroit.
After this foul, stinking turb Ubama is flushed down the toilet in November 2012, the new President is going to have to waste at least a week just signing executive orders to begin undoing the damage.
Democrats pay for votes one by one. Using your money, borrowed funds, and future earnings from your grandchildren.
“OPM”= Obama’s Personnel Management
White man get to the end of the line!
You are right, he is doing as much damage as possible. I hope a shark ...
“Fannie is 45% black, Freddie is 50% black.. govt is there to transfer wealth to these folks.. 100k+ do nothing jobs”
The Washington government is a massive stealth welfare program hiding behind the small core of personnel who actually are useful.
To the victors belong the spoils!
