I didn't know she was "African American".
Hazel O'Leary sat at the Energy Dept. helm during the Clinton Adm. when Palo Alto National Lab had revolving doors and lost sensitive data. She traveled about as much as the Clintons and finally had to leave they couldn't keep her ineptness under wraps. I don't know her race - Irish, black, I don't care. I do know she's totally unsuited to serve in a national security capacity.
