How Long Before Barack Obama Gets Flak For Appointing Too Many Black Folks And Too Many Women To Jobs In The White House?
Desiree Rogers - First African American Social Secretary. Check her out on Brightcove.
I am excited about the pick of Melody Barnes as Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council. Isn't it wonderful to think that domestic policy will be a primary focus in the White House for the first time in 8 years!
I'm still hoping that Susan Rice is named National Security Advisor.
Depressing thought to go with all the joy of a big group of soul sisters heading to the White House - What do Desiree Rogers, Melody Barnes, Valerie Jarrett, Mona Sutsphen all have in common? No husbands! What is it saying about black folks that high-powered, well-educated, well-connected black women remain single?
And eight years as the most high profile single black woman in the White House didn't help Condi Rice in the marriage department either. She went in single and will come out that way as well. Damn!
