Susan Rice, the next UN ambassador

Today's NYT features a favorable write-up of Susan Rice's past, experience, and personality traits, all of which she'll take with her to fill John Bolton's shoes. I think we all know she's got her work cut out for her as Bolton stands a beacon for international unity and cooperation. We'll miss you, John Boy.

Obama is also elevating the UN ambassador to a cabinet level position, which was the policy under Clinton. The Bush administration demoted the ambassador, which reveals how highly they viewed that position.
