President Obama's latest picks for Key Administrative posts

[BirminghamExaminer]

Excerpt:

Yesterday, March 20, President Obama announced his intent to nominate the following individuals to key administration posts:

Dr. Steven E. Koonin, Under Secretary for Science, Department of Energy; David Sandalow, Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs, Department of Energy; Ambassador Johnnie Carson, Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, State Department; Kathy Martinez, Assistant Secretary for Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), Department of Labor; Jonathan S. Adelstein, Administrator for the Rural Utilities Service, United States Department of Agriculture; Timothy W. Manning, Deputy Administrator for National Preparedness, FEMA, Department of Homeland Security; and Priscilla E. Guthrie, Chief Information Officer, Office of Director of National Intelligence. President Obama also announced that Steve Isakowitz, the Chief Financial Officer at the Department of Energy, will continue serving in his current role.

The only one that concerns me is Koonin for Department of Energy. I'm sure all the Freepers will make a big deal out of the guy's last job working for British Petroleum.
