[bozack]

Honestly,

http://politicalticker.blogs.c...-obama-administration/

At first I thought it was a joke.

Is this really necessary.

 

[palehorse]

wow... just, wow...

 

[Jack Flash]

Remember what that actor ran for president and WON! WHAT A JOKE!!!!!

non-issue.

 

[SViscusi]

I don't see anything wrong with this, have we now just reached the point of bitching for bitching sake?

 

[First]

Seems stupid, but then you remember that we had a successful 8 years when the country was run by an actor in the 80's.

 

[n yusef]

He's a liaison to Asians and Pacific Islanders and to the arts. I don't see what the problem is.

 

[jpeyton]

SWEET! :thumbsup:

Kal is a class act.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Did not expect this, he is an amusing actor though.

 

[OCGuy]

So he doesnt pay taxes either?

404: Story not found.

 

[ayabe]

Damn still no Cannabis Czar.

Maybe next year.

do you guys know that he's taking a major major pay cut to do this?

if it was me, i would've kept my acting job and let other people do the charity.

What you don't think he can do both?

If you've paid attention anything related to the asian community (which I'll define as indian through japanese area for the purpose of this thread...manily b/c I've never seen anyone from SW Asia as part of these orgs ), they've been pushing on Obama very hard for things like these. For the APIAA (probably the totally wrong acronym but I can't remember the full name at this point) townhall meeting in Irvine CA last fall, Obama was the only one to call in live - McCain had some campaign spokesman speak for him or something like that (I got too bored and left early), and Clinton had some totally pre recorded video passed off as 'live feed from the campaign trail'.
Obama most definitely knows what he is doing by carefully courting this community that is quite under represented when it comes to political power.

*** SPOILER ALERT***





























Kal's character on House is going to be committing suicide (or so I heard).

probably not... his character on house killed himself... so...

unless he picks up another gig... but i think his new job at the whitehouse will take up majority of his time. he did say that he is giving up his acting gig for awhile.

I think this sums it up. Bozack - you are going to have to deal with non whites in position of power.

The public liaison's office is something new?

Jealousy of what? if anything I am happy there won't be another stupid Harold and Kumar movie, not to mention I hated his character on House....

But really, why....why is this position needed?

Way to turn it into a race issue fuckface.

My post has nothing to do with race, rather another friviolus position to pander to special interests. With more pressing matters pending why are we even wasting our time with stuff like this.

How is it any of your business who Obama chooses to work for him? Opinions are like assholes - yours stinks to me.

Hopefully he'll help convince Obama to legalize pot
