President-Elect Obama has recently announced his National Security team. They are:
Retired Marine Gen. Jim Jones as his national security adviser, Eric Holder as attorney general, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano as homeland security secretary and Susan Rice as ambassador to the United Nations.
Oh, and did I mention that Hillary Clinton was Obama's pick as Secretary of State? He called her an "American of tremendous stature who will have my complete confidence."
I'm trying to decide if this is a case of keeping your friends close and your enemies closer... but I digress.
The post continues:
only does it indicate that President Elect Obama will use his "first" to create lots of others, but it is really exciting that it's happening specifically with regards to security--an issue so often masculinized in popular and political culture. As we feminists know, national and international security is about more than military might, but also includes poverty alleviation, diplomacy and negotiation, and increasing women's power through out the world.
What do you all think?

I love love love that he chooses women to serve with him. This just cements the fact that he really does beleive in women's equality.
Better yet he chooses a running mate and has the respect and humanity to give her some power. I think he can really change things for the better.
