Excited
Everyone’s favorite lefty newsblog came out with a fun little poll: “Who’s The White House’s Hottest?”
One of the hotties in the running is 25-year old bachelor Eugene Kang, special assistant to Obama and political activist. Kang is also noted as one of Obama’s golfing buddy, even vacationing with him in Hawaii. A graduate of the University of Michigan, he ran for a second Ward seat on the Ann Arbor City Council in 2005 at the age of 21. Good thing he lost; he snagged an even better job.
With so much attention going to the three Asian American cabinet members (Gary Locke, Steve Chu, and Eric Shinseki) in the United Colors of Benetton advertisement that is the Obama administration, it’s nice that someone’s paying attention to the guy with a more behind-the-scenes job.

Although he's taken, Chris Lu is much, much hotter.

FYI, Chris Lu is another Asian-American Obama staffer. He has the rather confusing title of "Cabinet Secretary," which is not a Secretary in the cabinet as in the head of a major agency but in charge of coordinating cabinet policy. He is already taken though (married, according to his Wikipedia entry).
