Posted on Oct 23, 2009 @ 07:37AM
Yul Kwon, the winner of 2006 Survivor competition, joined President Barack Obama's administration Thursday in the capacity of deputy chief of the consumer and governmental affairs bureau for the FCC.
"I feel like this country is in a critical time right now," Kwon, a 34-year-old Yale graduate, told the Washington Post. "If there's one place you can have an impact, it's here."

Kwon said of the transition from Survivor to the White House: "I played a clean game. I showed you could win by playing with integrity... I'm sure there are going to be a billion shots of me on the Internet wearing a grass skirt."

Kwon is not the only celebrity member of the administration: Actor Kal Penn this past April left Hollywood to serve as President Obama's administration as a representative to the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities, as well as his point man for the entertainment community.

This is nothing compared to the idiots in the Bush administration. Half of them had no college education and were hired to be in charge of things they knew nothing about. A man who worked at a horse show was in charge of National Security? LOL

You have got to be kidding! Seriously, did he really end up at the White House? That's the problem now, no one has enough experience to know what the h___ they are doing. I think they play a game of scrabble, before they make a decision.

Good luck Yul!!!! Maybe you can work on getting the "Real" trash of the reality shows off the air, especially the ones with kids in them. It's dumbing down America. Loved you on Survivor!!
