    The Bar’s Been Raised

    By Jeremy | January 20, 2005

    In light of Monday's MLK commemoratives (see posts from 1/17) and today's inauguration, it's worth noting that, "With little fanfare and not much credit, President Bush has appointed a more diverse set of top advisers than any president in history" (from "Bush is opening doors with a diverse Cabinet," USA Today, 12/09/04). Even Democratic strategists and Bush foes like Donna Brazile, Al Gore's campaign manager in 2000, "credits Bush with instinctively believing that surrounding himself with able women and people of color helps him make better decisions — a lesson she says some Democratic officeholders and candidates have yet to absorb." George Bush is the first and only President to appoint a person of color to any of the four most prestigious Cabinet jobs — at the departments of State, Treasury, Defense and Justice. He has named two African-Americans as secretary of State and a Mexican-American as attorney general. Let's hope this historic achievement sets a new standard for normal.
