and based solely on released information she seems to have the qualifications.
Just like the fellow named last week to head up NASA...outstanding qualifications.
Not being privy to the list of candidates I would have one question...the same question I always asked when asked to approve hiring executives during my corporate America days.....is he/she the absolute BEST candidate for the job. I always insisted in seeing the paperwork on the final 5 candidates, plus an explanation why the hiring executive thought the candidate was the very best one for the job.

We will not get that opportunity with these nominations....unfortunately.
What we do know for sure is strictly based on the numbers there are more non minority candidates. We also know for sure thus far based on Obama's propensity to be on the perpetual campaign trail, that his choices are influenced according to future voting base. Just look at the union positioning for the disaster called automotive restructuring. As a result some (including me) are suspect of the motivation of his choices.

Now is the time as usual for REAL RESEARCH on the individuals to satisfy ones curiosity. However, that will have no bearing on the political mill these candidates will be subjected to undergo. Just the fact the process of confirmation is being allowed 4 months is an out right waste of time allowing the politicos and the media to churn and stir. A CHANGE Obama could bring to Washington and is not, to date, is to trim the time cycles for decision making. For ANY position, 30 days is more than ample time to dig and debate.

On the surface good candidates. In my opinion, reality demonstrates the appointments are more political than quantitative. A true statement for either party....UNFORTUNATELY!
