Obama Appoints National Security Team

As we approach the official, January 20th Inauguration for President-Elect, Barack Obama, we must continue to envelop the thought and notion of a New Beginning. To overcome the plethora of challenges, struggles and circumstances that frame the 21st Century, we also stand at the dawn of new, American Leadership; ON THE SURFACE.

Though Barack Obama will be setting the foundation for Policy, as President, he also holds responsibility for the Vision that his Team-Players filtrate through to fruition. Obama's expectations are high, in creating a group to implement the Visions of his Presidential decisions.

As a result, Barack Obama has officially chosen The National Security Team that will back his Stance.

The National Security Team

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON: Secretary of State

ROBERT GATES: Defense Secretary

ERIC HOLDER: Attorney General

SUSAN RICE: Ambassador to the United Nations

JANET NAPOLITANO: Homeland Security Secretary

GENERAL JAMES JONES: White House National Security Advisor


In my opinion, Obama's picks for The National Security Team, suggests that he is mindful of his own relative inexperience. As noted, the majority of the six appointees have decades more experience in government than Obama. For those shockingly unfamiliar, Barack Obama is the former, ONE-TERM, Illinois Senator. Very Intelligently and Logically selected, the appointees and their status positions reflect Obama's long-voiced desire to welcome and envelop divergent viewpoints. This is ALL in PREPARATION to chart the BEST Course for This Country....I SUPPOSE...

On the surface yes, it looks like we could be standing on the dawn of new leadership.

My biggest hope is to see a change in the direction that America has been taking in terms of foreigh policy. I'm not so worried about the global financial crisis as much as I am about global politics.

I hope to see the US moving away from the mess and paranoia created by George Bush's administration.
I hope Barack Obama will be practical, level-headed and courageous when dealing particularly with the Middle East (I'm hoping, I am not sure if this is possible especially when it comes to the state of Israel).
I am tired of the absurd situation that has been left to go on for so long in this region.

And the so-called war on terror? Oh my goodness...
