Do you even know how to research a topic on your own ? You make claims without researching your own pov and then try to influence my opinion ? When was the last person of color in any dem admin? I see. You thought you had me skunked with your 32 candidates of color. That looked pretty impressive to you until you began to realize how many races were happening this year. And btw I never said the GOP was exclusively white; just predominately white. GW had more women and people of ethnicity in his admin than any dem set up... every. Try looking it up. Seriously. You are accusing me of not researching my own POV.....lol. Kettle = black. Here you go: Obama's Team: The Face Of Diversity When Bush holdovers are excluded, white men make up just under half of the people filling senior posts in Obama's administration. by James A. Barnes Saturday, June 20, 2009 A mere glance around Barack Obama's Cabinet table provides ample evidence of the president's philosophy that diversity is an important element of good government. Fewer than half of the 22 officials designated by Obama as having Cabinet rank are white men -- only nine in fact. Likewise, fewer than half of the key personnel in the Obama White House are white males. (Cynics will correctly note that the most powerful West Wing aides are still mostly white men.) A National Journal survey of 366 of the president's Decision Makers -- people appointed or nominated to senior positions throughout the executive branch -- found that white men hold 52 percent of the jobs. But when 49 holdovers from the Bush era are excluded, white guys make up just under half -- 49 percent -- of the Obama team. The new look of government is, in part, a generational story. From college campuses to corporate boardrooms to campaigns, society is increasingly tapping the professional talents of women and racial minorities. But the new look also embodies the commitment of the first nonwhite male to hold the nation's highest elective office. read more........ nationaljournal.com Be sure to click on the link and look at the demographic page.

A recent conversatoon between M. Bachmann and S. Hannity: "Remember when Speaker Pelosi walked arm in arm in a civil rights march across Independence Avenue, from the House buildings over to the Capitol. In three years I have never seen Nancy Pelosi cross the street the way that you saw in that picture. They deliberately went through that crowd, perhaps to try and incite something." Bachmann continued: "There were so many cameras there, Sean. No one recorded any racial motivation." tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com Please note.......Bachmann in her profound stupidity and bigotry believes that a white woman and a black man walking together are intentionally encouraging racist epitaphs from the crowd. Like many Rs, Backmann is stuck somewhere in the 1950s. I wonder if insanity runs in her family.
