Obama is set to announce his national security team
Secretary of Defense Bob Gates.
Bob Gates will stay on in the Obama adminstration as defense secretary, via Politico. That’s big news.
Politico also reports: Retired Marine Gen. James Jones, former Marine commandant and commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Europe, will be named national security adviser, the officials said.
With Hillary Clinton presumed to be heading the State Department, President-elect Barack Obama is rounding out his national security team.
What do you think of these nominations?

There’s gonna’ be an awful lot of disappointed leftist-progressives.
