Diversity, diversity, diversity! Seems that's all we hear from the liberals. Yet when a liberal occupies the highest office in the land, diversity flies out the window. Some of Obama's top picks? Lisa Jackson, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, black woman. Mona Sutphen, deputy chief of staff, black woman. Desiree Rogers, White House Social Secretary, black woman. Valerie Jarrett, Presidential advisor, black woman. Susan Rice, U.N. Ambassador, black woman. Cassandra Butts, White House counsel, black woman. They have been dubbed "The Obama Women." "This is a really diverse and compelling group of women," Sutphen said. If they had been all white men, do you think Ms. Sutphen would have called them diverse?
But, I have to admit, Obama did add some diversity to the group when he appointed Margaret Hamburg to lead the Food and Drug Administration. She's bi-racial. No one can accuse him of being un-diverse!
