"Rice to Replace Donilon in the Top National Security Post" when appreciation hit me to be reading about two strong intelligent women successfully navigating Washington politics in the same article. Both Susan Rice and Samantha Powers advocate for our humanitarian responsibilities on the world front through the high profile roles they take on in their work.
Susan Rice didn't get a fair shot in her nomination for secretary of state. I love how she kept on working diligently at the UN in the diplomatic trenches of the Syrian conflict, even though she'd gone through that public rejection by republicans.
And now Obama has found another spot for her that doesn't need congressional approval. Who will take Rice's UN position?Samantha Powers another tenacious female voice for human rights around the world.
Bravo to both these women! Future National security adviser and United Nations ambassador.
