In 2009, the media was going gaga over the diversity in the Obama Administration. To use one of the Administration's favorite words, it was "unprecedented." "There's diversity in this crowd that nobody else has approached before," said Democratic lobbyist Marcia Hale, a veteran of Bill Clinton's White House. "Four and eight years from now, there will be an amazing array of people from different backgrounds," she predicted.
I had to wonder about that, however, when I saw the photo of the group assembled in the White House situation room the night Osama was killed. Of the 13 people in the photo, aside from Obama, Hillary, and one other woman, they all look like white men to me.
