What? You got a problem with a Federal-level council to develop Local Solutions headed up by a rockstar from the 80s?

This is probably the best appointment he's made. What does the White House Council on Community Solutions do anyway?

As much as I don't like the both of them I did see a show where Bon Jovi did some kind of home building for the disadvantaged, but that does not qualify him for the made up position he was appointed.

WASHINGTON – Today, President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order establishing the White House Council for Community Solutions. The Council will provide advice to the President on the best ways to mobilize citizens, nonprofits, businesses and government to work more effectively together to solve specific community needs.

More at the link, if you dare.

The description is just a bunch of buzz words that say a whole lot of nothing. Seriously, what the fuck does this mean?

In addition to providing advice to the President on solving specific community needs, the White House Council for Community Solutions has been tasked with three key functions: enlisting leaders in the non-profit, private, and philanthropic sectors to make progress on key policy goals; providing strategic input and recommendations to help the federal government promote greater innovation and cross-sector collaboration; and honoring and highlighting those making a significant impact in their own communities. The Council will be composed of leaders from non-profits, corporations and foundations who are committed to social innovation and civic engagement.

IIRC Bon Jovi held a 30K a plate dinner at his house with Obama back during the election

I'm glad I'm old because I can't live in " bizzaro" world for much longer.

I feel really bad for my grand kids though.

Meh- nobody else in the Whitehouse seems to have a clue what they're doing so what's one more? I just wish Obama would go work on his golf game for the next two years.

Not much of a surprise considering 60 Minutes marveled at his brilliance...

In Italy, when Silvio Berlusconi creates some bullshit sinecure, he staffs it with the eye candy he's been sexing up.

Here, we get washed up pop stars.
