Obama Nominates Rosa ”Rosie” Gumatao Rios For United States Treasurer

I don’t know what the hell the US Treasurer does, but the selection of Rios is causing quite a stir in the comments section of the linked blog. Chill out people, it’s not as if somebody asked if Heidi Klum is racistly inclined!!!

Inspiring comments:

“She has only a ‘Bachelor’s degree in sociology and romance languages’, which only qualifies her to be a night manager at Taco Bell.”

“Latina moms know how to feed lots and lots of babies with a tiny budget, I hope she can use it in a big scale.”

“Good choice, I’ve tapped a few Bay Area Latinas myself.”

“seriously, wtf is up with this headline? how about ‘NY Jew tapped for fed?’ pandering to the crowd i guess….real classy.”

“I suspect this is an indication they’ve chosen a non-Latina to be David Souter’s replacement on the USSC. Talk about a consolation prize!”
