Susan Rice as UN Ambassador

If the news is accurate and Susan Rice does end up as US Ambassador to the UN, it will again illustrate that President-elect Obama is committed to including a diverse range of voices in his foreign policy team. Rice was a key early Obama supporter and has been quite critical of aspects of the Clinton foreign policy approach. She was a key spokeswoman for Obama during the primaries and general election and my outsider take is that she closely shares Obama's foreign policy vision. If this happens, I will be pretty happy.
