The WH already came out and said they are picking these people based on SKILL and not their gender/skin color.

They don't practice what they preach and now people are getting upset.

I think he should have asked Condi Rice if she wanted her old position back.
Right/Left shouldn't be a factor. She's qualified and would meet America's "diversity quota" to boot.

Al Sharpton just had some dinosaur on complaining that criticism of Obama was due to racism. LOL.
If Obama picks people based on their skill, can you explain Eric Holder? We'd just like somebody in charge down in DC who doesn't ride the short bus and wear a football helmet 24/7. Reid, Pelosi, Biden, Napolitano, Kerry, I mean please. Its like a Bizarro World MENSA society down there.

Those who criticize the President for hiring/appointing a rather large staff who also supervise/hire hundreds of thousands of people across the broad landscape of the federal government who as a group aren't "diverse" ... are idiots. Trolls. And blind ones, at that.

So does he have any issue with their ability to do the job other than their skin colour?

From the article, it seems not.

That's because all liberals see are skin color and gender. If Obama just wants to pick the best person he thinks is suited for the job, the appearances and gender should not matter.

...i remember reading back in 2008 Obama is actually quite intelligent, he just acts like an idiot because more idiot americans vote for him that way.

Possibly the same applies to Holder?

Do you even pay attention to what you're saying?

IF "That's because all liberals see are skin color and gender. ", just HOW are Obama's choices related to skin color and gender?
