Apparently,
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) passed on a collection of 45 Muslim potential hires
to President Obama. The effort to match these 45 individuals with jobs inside
the administration was moving slowly and quietly until White House officials
recently sped the process up. CAN YOU SAY 'BINDERS' YOU DAMN HYPOCRITE!!!
From the
Denver Post, 3/27/2009 (a month after Obama’s inaugural)
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."
