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 looked to see if this was posted and did not find the article. If the article has been posted already, I apologize for reposting.

*sigh* Who knew there were Ivy League Madrassas?

And how many “good, devout” Muslims are in that list? If they are loyal and faithful to the Qu’ran, they can’t be loyal to the US. This should get interesting!

Obama gets list of top Muslim Americans

So he can see which "brothers" not to put out of business?

Whatever happened to seeking out the most qualified, regardless of skin color?

obama requested the information, someone found out so it had to be reported.MO

There were other articles, probably a different title.

No, so he can infiltrate our government with them, as the streets will be...

At first I thought the headline was “Obama is ON the list of top Muslim Americans.”

It’s a trick. He’ll send them to Gitmo. /s/

“Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted — has been submitted to the White House.”
Carefully vetted by whom on what basis? So far, it appears the prime requirement for a position on the Obama team is to hate America, be a tax cheat, or a thug. And exactly why do we suddenly believe that affirmative action based on ones religious beliefs is a good thing? In particular, why do we want to strive to place those whose religious beliefs don't recognize our right to exercise our religious beliefs?

Is there a top Methodist American list?

.... and the trillion dollar question is “Who is Obama?”

All Obaminations relatives.

Remember this exchange...

Obama: "my Muslim faith..."

Stephanopoulos: "Your Christian faith?"

I can already see my campaign ad now in 2010 using this to full advantage...It would look like this -- which one of these men did "zero" just hire; I would run this all through every Red State out there...
