New "Smart Power" Additions To Obama’s Team

President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joseph Biden have announced new additions to their national security team: James B. Steinberg for Deputy Secretary of State, Jacob Lew for Deputy Secretary of State, Thomas E. Donilon as Deputy National Security Advisor and Antony Blinken as National Security Advisor to the Vice President. Like Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sec. Robert Gates, Gen. James Jones and Dr. Susan Rice, these new selections are committed to a “smart power” approach to global engagement that will strengthen our diplomacy and civilian-led development assistance efforts to be real components of our national security and foreign policy. You can read more about these new selections and other key members of Obama’s national security team in the Center’s Transition Watch section.

Both President-elect Obama and Republican nominee John McCain responded to the “smart power” calls from our influential Impact ’08 state networks, endorsers, advisors, partners and supporters. We held high profile events in DC and key states, published op-eds and sign-on ads in state and national papers, released a military officers’ poll, launched a web-based show, The Global Wire, and tracked policy statements and views of the candidates in the “Candidate’s Corner,” followed by “Transition Watch,” which focuses on Obama's transition process.
