DIVERSITY.  The Obama administration is the most diverse White House in U.S. history.  Eric Holder is the first black Attorney General.  The UN Ambassador, Susan E. Rice, is also an African American, as is EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, NASA chief Charles F. Bolden, Jr., and Surgeon General Regina M. Benjamin.  Diversity is extending to the federal bench as well, with blacks as 25 percent of the President’s judicial nominees, and minorities as nearly half.  For example, Irene Cornelia Berger was confirmed as the first black federal judge in West Virginia.  Tanya Pratt became the first African-American appointee to a federal judgeship in Indiana, and Michelle Childs became the second black federal judge in South Carolina. President Obama recently nominated Judge Bernice Bouie Donald, a federal district judge in Tennessee, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.  Last year, the President nominated Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina and third justice of color to sit on the Supreme Court.  Elections do matter.
