Now let me say first. Be patient. I wanted Susan Rice for Secretary of State more than anyone. However, she pulled her own name. So there was nothing that could be done about that. Michelle Flournoy would have been a great choice for Secretary of Defense, but he chose someone else. There are still many more positions to be filled.

If the President was to choose 50% female, or 50% African American for his cabinet, the dissenters would have been in uproar claiming that he was just pandering to the gender that helped get him elected.

If you are going to jump on the President for diversity, then you must equally jump on the GOP. Out of all the committee Chairs in the House, only one was a woman and they had to mover her to that committee just so they could appoint her amid the public uproar.

I understand that there is a great deal of hope invested in the President, but lets not get caught up in unrealistic expectations. He does not make every decision that I agree with, but I feel confident that he is always making well thought out choice. I will wait to see what the rest of his cabinet looks like before I pass judgment.
