These are the tyes of "faceless" high achieving, high potential people that President Obama has given a leg up in the pursuit of even high positions in the government at a later date. This woman could very well be a cabinent officer in a 2016 Democratic Administration. I`m more interested in knowing that Obama is priming the pump for the federal judiciary, secretary & undersecretary positions, and having young legislators co-sponsor key bills on gun control, immigration, energy, etc so that all are well prepared for the future. Eric Holder is a fabulous AG in part because he came into the Justice Dept knowing where all the light switches and bathrooms were. I want Mr. Obama to leave the same kind of legacy.
