NYT: Susan Rice...a Potential for National Security Advisor

[Bullet1987]

We can already expect several members of the Obama campaign to make the transition with him to the White House. David Axelrod has already been tapped and is pretty much on board. I expect Susan Rice to also get placed somewhere.

Name: Susan Elizabeth Rice

Being considered for: A top foreign policy post, possibly deputy national security adviser or ambassador to the United Nations.

Would bring to the job: Eight years at the White House and the State Department in the Clinton administration and special expertise in the problems posed by weak and failed states, global poverty and transnational security threats. She has a reputation for being blunt-spoken, but also for being a politically connected fast-riser. A protégé of Madeleine K. Albright when she was secretary of state, Ms. Rice catapulted over more veteran officials in 1997 to become one of the youngest assistant secretaries of state ever. She also brings early experience with Al Qaeda; Ms. Rice was the top diplomat for African issues during the 1998 terrorist bombings of embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.

4. She's my pick for NSA as well.

I got to hear her speak and meet her briefly. I was very impressed both with her command of foreign policy issues and her personality. She would be a great addition to Obama's cabinet.

will wonder if Obama's National Security Adviser Susan Rice was related to *'s National Security Adviser Condi Rice.
