Obama’s National Security Team:
- Sec. of State: Hillary Clinton (New York Senator)
- Sec. of Defense: Robert M. Gates (Sec. of Defense)
- National Security Advisor: Gen. James L. Jones (Former NATO commander)
- Sec. of Homeland Security: Janet Napolitano (Arizona Governor)
- Attorney General: Eric Holder (Former Dep. Attorney General)
- U.N. Ambassador: Susan Rice (Former Asst. Sec. of State for African Affairs)
In Obama’s Words: “I assembled this team because I am a strong believer in strong personalities and strong opintions. I think that’s how the best decisions are made. One of the dangers in a White House, based on my reading of history, is that you get wrapped up in group-think and everybody agrees with everything and there’s no discussion and there are no dissenting views. So I am going to be welcoming a vigorous debate inside the White House. But understand, I will be setting policy as president. I will be responsible for the vision that this team carries out, and I will expect them to implement that vision once decisions are made.”
