Actor Kal Penn Joins Obama White House as Asian-American Link

April 8 (Bloomberg) -- Actor Kal Penn is taking a job in the Obama administration as a liaison to Asian-American groups, a White House spokesman said. The Hollywood star, who appeared in Fox TV’s drama “House” and several movies, is joining the White House Office of Public Liaison as a link to Asian-American and Pacific- Islander communities, spokesman Shin Inouye said.

This has got to be a joke. I have nothing against Kal Penn, I enjoy some of his movies, but im sure he only obtained this position because he is a celebrity. Maybe Obama needs a little help brushing up on his acting ability since he seems to be slipping a little lately. What do you guys think of this?
