Tomorrow morning at 10:40 a.m. Eastern, Obama and Biden will hold a press conference in Chicago to announce their national security appointments.
The big news is, of course, that Hillary Clinton will be named Secretary of State. She'll be at the press conference in Chicago. But, there will be several other key appointments, some we've heard about already, some new. "The Swamp" has the other names:
According to a Democrat familiar with the transition team's work, the former First Lady is part of a national security team that also includes: Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, nominee for Secretary of Homeland Security; Eric Holder, for Attorney General; Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who will remain in his current position for at least one year; retired Marine Gen. Jim Jones, for National Security Adviser; retired Adm. Dennis Blair, for Director of National Intelligence; and Susan Rice, for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Some of these officials also are expected to appear at the news conference Monday.So, Susan Rice will be our ambassador to the United Nations. There was a lot of buzz that Caroline Kennedy would be named to that U.N. post. Perhaps she'll be the next Senator from New York instead?
