(58,724 posts)I do think the White House has to be a little bit careful, said panelist and former DNC Communications Director Karen Finney. I think naming two white men in the same week when you just saw an African-American woman who was overly qualified get treated the way she did, and in a cabinet thatlets face itcould probably use some more diversity anyway, probably not a smart strategic decision.
