WikiLeaks: Obama Admin Chose 'Hispanic Names' For Cabinet

President Obama’s transition team appears to have utilized a list of 32 “Hispanic names” when filling positions in the new administration after the 2008 election, leaked emails reveal.

Steve Phillips, a senior fellow at the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress, sent a spreadsheet titled “Top Latinos” in a November 2008 email with the subject line “Hispanic names” to current Clinton campaign manager John Podesta, who co-chaired the Obama transition efforts before serving as a White House counselor.

At least nine of the 32 “Top Latinos” listed ended up playing some kind role in the Obama administration and at least two of them became members of Obama’s cabinet, according to an analysis by The Daily Caller.
